The Ten Commandments is a film about the book of Exodus and Moses. The film began with the first order to kill all Jews under the age of two. Here Moses is thrown into the Nile and the story begins. It ends with the end of Moses' life and Joshua's seizure of power. The film, for the most part, remained faithful to the book of Exodus, but some details and the main plot were different. The movie was good, but the added love story and power struggle made the movie a little off topic. The story itself, Moses being adopted, raised, sent away and then returning and freeing the people is the same, so the Exodus is followed in a general way. Some details are not, like some plagues are different (plague seven was simply hail, not burning hail), and some characters don't exist in the Bible, but appear in the film. The movie was very good and is one of the best Moses and Passover movies of all time. The only flaw was the details that were missing or incorrect in the film. The film was very similar to the book of Exodus. Although some details are different, the plot remains true to the life of Moses. The first part of the film is true with the Exodus, with Pharaoh killing all the firstborn Israelites and with Moses' mother sending Moses away in a basket down the Nile. He is raised as a prince of Egypt, with some differences, and kills an Egyptian. It may have been too dramatic, but Moses killed the Egyptian. She left for Midian and saved some shepherdesses from some men and was able to marry one of them. He married the eldest and settled on a farm. These main plot lines were correct in the film and some details are similar. In the second half of the film, Moses returns. Aaron acts as his partner and they talk... middle of paper... only the parts that took away were Datham and Nefreteri's stories. These simply added drama to the story and did not show God's power to its fullest extent. The film itself was a fantastic film. It followed the plot of Exodus and felt like it stayed true to the book. After a closer look at Exodus, you see that some plot lines have been added to the film and some details are inadequate. The stories of Datham and Nefreteri take away a certain meaning. These do not help the cause of showing the strong power of God. The movie itself is one of the best Moses movies of all time and I love watching it when it airs around Passover. The film shows the story of Moses in color and in a positive way, which may bring to mind a good picture of the Exodus. Now, when I read Exodus, I can see the movie unfold, helping me understand it.
