EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS
The movie was based from the biblical story of Moses. Its how he gathered faith to free the enslaved Jews from the rule and the land of Egypt. Egyptians lived well during the time of Pharaohs while the Jews suffered enslavement. The pharaoh king was to pick the new ruler of Egypt because of his illness. And so Ramses, his real son became king of Egypt. He then found out that his brother, Moses was born a Jew. Moses was then banished into the dessert, where he encountered God as young boy. Moses accepted the mission given by God and that was to free His people from the land of Egypt. Moses rose up against the pharaoh of Egypt. Ramses did not believe in Moses, he didnt believe in God. To him the only god that exists was him, Ramses. As the story goes, Ramses made the Jews suffer even more. And so God punished Egypt with the deadly plagues. The plague started when the water turned into blood, fishes died, water was unclean and there was no sufficient water for the people in Egypt. The frogs come out of the water and covered up the land of Egypt, as the second plague. Then came the gnats and flies that also covered up Egypt. All their livestock were diseased and soon died. Another was the plague of boil where boils break out on the people of Egypt. The seventh plague was the hailstorm calamity. Locusts covered the land and destroyed the remaining vegetation as the eight plague. Then the ninth plague, which was the complete darkness all over Egypt for three days. Before the last plague, Moses warned Ramses about it, that Ramses should protect his son. As the last plague was of the death of the first born, all Egypts first born died while the Israelites were spared. Ramses then freed the Israelites, but he then followed them with his army to kill the freed 400,000 Israelites. But God protected His people, He parted the red sea for Moses to lead His people to cross and continue their journey to the land of Canaan. There were some details that differ from the movie and the bible. Here are some examples of the changes made in the movie. First, The Bible casts Moses as a messenger who lets God handle the destruction. The movie casts him as something of a violent liberator that trains the Hebrew slaves to fight. Second, Moses iconic staff is absent in the film. Instead, he wields an Egyptian sword, which plays a central role in the sea-parting miracle. Third, in the bible Moses murders an Egyptian who is beating a Hebrew slave and hides the corpse in the sand. Moses flees Egypt when his murderous act becomes known. In the film, he flees when Pharaoh suspicions that he may have been born a Hebrew. Another thing was in the Bible narrative, God uses Aaron to transform the Nile by stretching his rod over the waters. In the film, this never happens. Instead, hundreds of crocodiles seem to go insane. In a violent frenzy they kill themselves and others and their blood turns the Nile red. Also, the film depicts eight or nine plagues, depending on what you count. Ten plagues are mentioned in the Bible.
