Thoughts on this movie?

I liked the snake duel. That's the only part of this I can remember so I'm not sure if I've even seen the whole thing.

A cinematographic masterpiece;

One of the best movies involving Christian mythology and it has perhaps the best scene ever made involving the physical representation of God; Powerful yet abstract.

>Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground

This movie really touched an almost ethereal nerve somehow, the story felt very real on a personal level yet it felt like it was all a dream at the same time.

The voice acting was GOAT as well.

Imo there's something about animation can seem almost more real than live action movies, perhaps because it's not bound by physical restraints and can speak directly to your imagination/sub conscious.

/tips

It's kino, but most Christians I know are assholes

Exploring the strained relationship between Ramses and Moses was an interesting take on things that gave it personal gravitas and every single song in it was brilliant. If you're not raising your kids to at least appreciate the Judea Christian mythos and you're not showing them film then you're failing as a parent.

I miss this style of animation.

We should get more stories from religions too. I'm worried that many people are so close minded they will bash Pringe of Egypt for being about a story in the Bible. Open your minds, folks. No one complained about Road to El Dorado being about Mayan religion.

This movie kicks all sorts of ass. Dreamworks best imo.

>>81990299

I can't believe /tv/ actually likes this movie

i liked it as a kid and the animation still holds up but when i rewatched it some time ago i felt like it really pushed the religious aspects on the audience beyond just telling a story.

>>81989424
I miss this animation style, too.

I'm fucking sick of the annoyingly bright and high contrast CGI Pixar and Dreamworks shit with the generic plots and characters with the same fucking smirk on their faces.

The Mayan religion isn't forced down our throats or even remotely relevant , nice false equivalency

>The Mayan religion isn't forced down our throats or even remotely relevant
Okay, I give you that. All religion is full of wisdom though. We should not reject the story of Moses even if some people force that story down our throats. If people think for themselves they can decide if they think the story is real. Either way it holds value and should not be rejected without a thought. At least I think so. I'd actually like a 2d Dreamworks animation about Hinduism. Many great stories there...

Cinematic masterpiece and a good take on a biblical myth. As an atheist I really appreciate this film, and I will definitely show it to my kids.

This, given all the fish around it.

>>81994012
Except God doesn't harden Pharaoh's heart in the movie, so you're only issue is with the source material.

>>81994012
The "harden pharao's heart" segment really ruins the entire dramaturgy of the story.

>>81994079

But Moses was the only Jew doing the bad stuff, and God was the asshole. Couldn't really blame the other Jews for that.

>>81994171
the story of moses is pure jewish propaganda written by jews in exile in babylon with very little basis in history, of course it shines a positive light on the jews.

>>81994079
It wasnt the Jews who killed the baby it was their God. Even Moses thought it is going too far and tried to reason Ramses to just let them go because it's going to get worse and worse.

>>81994288
It's not possible. They spend far too much time and energy bemoaning the Jews in entirely unrelated threads to ever allow for conversation about something actually Jew-related to go without it.

>>81994298
nah, he's just a sociopathic mass murderer. remember when he killed almost everyone with the great flood? he also killed a million innocent babies in that event.

>>81994288
i love the movie, i saw it as a kid first with a bunch of jewish friends, and i don't think there's anything wrong with any group of people making themselves the heroes in their national epics. but you cannot talk about a movie about the most essential jewish story without talking about jewish history. i only go on pol if there's a current international habening, like the turkish attempted coup

>>81994337
yes, odyssey is very much greek propaganda, of course it is. most epics are. nothing wrong with this. although in the case of odyssey, it's more about homer's personal view on gods and ethics and politics that's being didactically shared as there was no unified national greek idea, unlike the exodus which primarily has the aim of preserving a distinct ethnic group's identity during their time in exile in a foreign land.

>>81994500
Does the story of the Exodus "trigger" you?

good thing he actually doesn't give a fuck in real life. otherwise we'd all be dead... sooner.

>>81994479
>it's more about homer's personal view on gods and ethics and politics
Homer very likely didn't exist, and the recorded version of the text is definitely not in the ballpark of what the original spoken-word poem would have been.

But being pedantic aside, I'd find it hard to think of any piece of fiction that isn't propaganda by that extremely broad definition. All stories have a point, and it seems like you're saying as long as that's the case, it's propaganda.

Which, of course, is fine. But your original post made it sound like Exodus is bad because it's propaganda, which would only be true if you believed ALL stories are bad.

>>81994500
well it establishes the precedent that it's ok for god's chosen to mass murder disbelievers, so should be right up your alley t b h wallah desu

yes, it's a great movie with good songs, goat cinematography and very well made animations. plus, the story is iconic and exodus is canon in islam so nothing to trigger you religiously.

sure, but you'd be avoiding the plot, or have a very shallow discussion about it. you'd also not be able to discuss the imagery and the tone properly.

>>81994584
>the story of moses is pure jewish propaganda written by jews in exile in babylon with very little basis in history, of course it shines a positive light on the jews.
i genuinely don't think this implies it being bad, but i see your point. that said, exodus is more propaganda than most stories for the reason i mentioned. having to deal with pol people makes you very sensitive to statements like that i guess, and that's fair enough.

>>81990861

it's also psychological torture for all egyptians, some of whom might not have been bad.

I don't think any animated movie has hit me harder.

>>81994712

What kind of "potential" do you think people had in ancient Egypt? Potential to serve the Pharaoh? Potential to fuck on some Egyptian sluts in the pre-penicillin age? What kind of potential do you think you have now?

>>81994777
i preferred pool parties with deleted ladders, they just drown to death after swimming around frantically.

>>81987729
But it's old testament.

>>81994785
I noticed Ramses yells out Moses' name and Moses saying "goodbye brother" the first time Moses ran away after he killed a guard.

It was a nice call back.

Prince of egypt is pure kino.
Dreamworks churns out shitty cgi flicks now, but their 2d animations are great.

>>81994787
I don't know, but at least it's better to live and do something instead of dying without doing anything.

>>81991361
What wisdom is there in the story of Moses? That if you're a Jew you're special and people deserve to die because someone else is giving you a hard time?

>>81993825
If you can find an animated film with more impressively grand backgrounds I'd like to see it.

I really would, it must be excellent if it exists

>>81994915
"Don't enslave people or bad shit will happen to you down the road"

>>81994915

>>81994754
>do they though?

Yes, God claims special ownership of all firstborn lives. As far as God is concerned, when the Egyptian firstborn died he was simply taking back what belonged to Him anyway.

>don't they go to purgatory?

No. Purgatory is Christian fanfiction.

>>81994888
sinbad almost killed them so they ditched 2d animation entirely

>>81994958
But the Hebrews went on to have slaves right after that, what the hell they didn't even learn the lesson themselves.

And guess what, the Hebrews have a shitty time after escaping from Egypt

>>81994958
>>81994999
nah, israelites had their own slaves, it was a case of "yahweh is the goatest god and jews are his chosen people, don't mess with them". the prince of egypt being a contemporary adaptation changed the message into what you said though.

The scene from Exodus: Gods and Kings was better because it was at least "realistic".

I mean really, if the splitting of the Red Sea was actually true, then it was without a doubt just a change of tide.

>>81995149
Zzzzzzzzzz

>>81995129
sure, but the question was "what's the wisdom in the story of moses" not "what's the wisdom in the movie prince of egypt", which is why i made the distinction. the movie itself is great.

When we do an adaptation of the Odyssey starring Chris Pratt as Odysseus, we must make sure we have no monsters, no magic and make sure the audience knows all these old beliefs about gods are totally false and they're all just schizophrenic if they think they're talking to gods. Also we need to have a big army battle scene like in LOTR and Odysseus has to give a rousing speech.

Also we'd like to not have so much of this "sailing" and "travelling around" stuff. Can we just set it in the Greek mainland, filmed in Atlanta? Please find a role for Rihanna also.

Serious Bible discussion? I guess the main message I got was similar to the Jesus story - that one person can completely change the laws/values of a much larger society just by telling people what they think and staying firm in the face of persecution.

Purgatory is much worse than that. As far as Catholic doctrine is concerned, purgatory is where you go if you've got residual sins that are bad but not so bad that you'll be condemned. In purgatory you're "purified" by having those sins burned away, and since Catholic doctrine states that the act of being born is itself a sin, purgatory would be a place full of babies being burned for the crime of being born. But don't worry, give your shekels to the pope and it will buy your baby a fast-track out of purgatory.

It's stuff like this that reveals just how steeped in paganism the Catholic church is, and how it's teachings have very little to do with the Bible at times.

What is an ant to a man, or a man to a god? If I somehow manage to communicate with ants and recreate the Exodus with an ant colony but my Moses ant refuses, I'm going to completely and utterly obliterate him in half a second and move on to another ant.

story is fucking stupid. moses only won because his god actually exists. The egyptian gods should have been real as well

if you replace the jews and egyptians with something else you will immediately see how stupidly one-sided and annoyingly preachy the story is. Only people give this a double standard pass because they believe it

Fun fact, the Old Testament doesn't explicitly state other gods do not exist, just that Yaweh is the greatest.

So if you want to go full Christian polytheist you technically could without being a heretic, but you couldn't really acknowledge other entities as gods of course.

>>81994319
Well Moses does convince God not to kill all the Jews after they worship the golden calf, so he actually was somehow able to change God's mind. The "slave to God" mentality is much more in Islam, it's not really in Christianity or Judaism.

You do know that the entirety of Exodus is ahistorical right. The entire thing is a wish fulfillment narrative constructed during and after the Babylonian captivity (which did happen), in a "this shit has happened to us before and we got out okay then" way.
