The Ten Commandments is a movie about the book of Exodus and Moses. The film began with the first order to kill all Hebrews under the age of two. Here Moses is thrown into the Nile and the story begins. It ends with Moses' life ending and Joshua taking over. 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 love story and the power struggle made the movie a little off topic. The story itself, Moses being adopted, raised, sent away, then returning and freeing the people, is the same, so the Exodus is followed generally speaking. Some details are not, such as some plagues are different (the seventh plague was just hail, not hail on fire), and some characters do not 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 the film was missing or incorrect. The movie was very similar to the book of Exodus. Even if some details differ, the plot remains faithful to the life of Moses. The first part of the film is true with the Exodus, with Pharaoh killing all the firstborn of the Israelite children and with Moses' mother sending Moses in a basket down the Nile. He is raised as a prince of Egypt, with some differences, and kills an Egyptian. Maybe it was too dramatic, but Moses killed the Egyptian. He went to Midian and saved some shepherd girls from some men and was able to marry one of them. He married the eldest and settled on a farm. These main storylines 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 got the message across were Datham and Nefreteri's stories. These only added drama to the story and did not show the power of God to its fullest extent. The film itself was an excellent film. It followed the storyline of Exodus and it seemed to stay true to the book. After taking a closer look at Exodus, you see that some plots have been added to the film and some details are inadequate. The stories of Datham and Nefreteri take away some of the meaning. This does not help the cause to show the great power of God. The movie itself is one of the best Moses movies of all time and I love watching it when it airs at Easter. The movie shows the story of Moses in color and in a good way, which can give you a good picture of the Exodus. Now reading Exodus I can see the movie unfolding which helps me understand it..
