I think people also forget that when they read xyz bad time happened to the Jews, there were things they did or disobeyed God on & they were often given the lesson to grow. Ex even they leave Egypt they start "murmuring" (complaining & griping). God JUST delivered them & it wasnt good enough??? So they got 40 years wandering in the desert. Ben Shapiro pointed out recently that Jews being the Chosen people of the Lord doesn't mean they are the favorites & they get their way. It means they have way more commandments, that they are the example for the rest of us, that they are held to higher standards in the Lords eyes.

Slight Issue, in Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet would wonder up and down the nile when Man had been disrespectful or misbehaved and smite people. The only way Ra and the other gods were able to stop her was by getting her drunk until she passed out, but only after she would turn the nile red with blood. This shows the nile turning red wasn't a freak occurrence because of Moses but was a semi-regular thing and it was. Large deposits of clay would sometimes wash through the nile, turning it red and ruining the water which then usually lead to disease outbreaks, etc. Basically Moses just happened to be in the right place at the right time for a semi-regular event to suddenly become "biblical"

"Deliver Us" literally gave me tears and goosebumps whenever I listen and watch this scene alone. Also, Ofra Haza who does the voice and singing voice of Moses's biological mother, Yocheved, not only did the singing voice in English and Hebrew but also reprise the role in 17 other languages including Spanish (Latin and Castillian) and Portuguese (European and Brazilian) for a total of 19 languages in the film's dubbing. Sadly, she was taken far too soon and passed away from an AIDS related illness in 2000 at 42 years old, just two years after the release of this movie. May she rest in peace. Finally, one thing to note is that while this is DreamWorks Animation’s most serious film, the two priests: Hotep (Steve Martin) and Huy (Martin Short) act as the film’s comic relief in the film, but once they leave the picture during the song, "The Plagues" (they last were seen when Ramses ordered them out while removing the boils on their bodies) the film becomes serious once again.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

Aaron wasn’t originally supposed to be his spokesperson either. Moses was just so insecure about his speech that he kept insisting he couldn’t do it, even when God said he’d be with him. Aaron was a compromise: Moses would still confront Pharaoh, but he would have his brother there to speak for him.

[@Tomf-tz4pd]

Friend Moses did not have a stutter, he just was not fluent in Egyptian anymore. I really like your last point, between the brothers one incident really brings this to life. While Moses was on Mount Sinai, the people of Israel felt anxious and uncertain. They missed Moses and were not used to trusting an invisible God since they were familiar with physical idols in Egypt. During this waiting period, they should have focused on understanding God's laws better but instead grew careless and unruly. The situation worsened, especially among a group known as the "mixed multitude," who were particularly impatient and suggested either moving forward to the promised land or returning to Egypt. In Moses' absence, Aaron was left in charge. When the people demanded an idol to worship, Aaron, lacking strong leadership qualities, gave in to their demands. They collected gold earrings and made a golden calf, an idol similar to those worshiped in Egypt. This act was a significant betrayal of God, who had shown His power through miracles and had forbidden such idols. Aaron even organized a festival to celebrate the idol, which turned into excessive feasting and revelry, misrepresenting true worship. This story reflects a broader theme where people sometimes disguise selfish desires as religious devotion, both in history and today. Aaron's failure to stand firm for God's honour led to widespread disobedience among the people. If Aaron had stood firm, the Israelites would have never fallen into apostasy.

[@NicholasAHart]

Just an interesting thing to note.. In the Book of Jasher, there is a moment where Moses as a child setting on the Pharaohs lap during a banquet with High Officials of the Land, grabbed the crown off of Pharaohs head and put it on his own head. (To say it short) The Pharaoh and High Officials wanted to kill baby Moses for what he did. An Angel of God came down to help them decide what to do. (The Angel said put an Onyx Stone and a burning Coal in front of the child. If Moses picks up the Onyx, then he took the crown on purpose and knew what he was doing. If he picks up the burning Coal, then he is innocent, without knowledge. Moses started to reach for the Onyx Stone but the Angel moved Moses' hand to the burning Coal and touched it to his mouth and tongue, causing the way he speaks later).... God saved Moses again and if Moses would have believed that God can heal him and cause him to speak perfectly, then there would have been no need for his Brother to help.... If that is what really happened, then that would clear things up with the story of Moses not speaking well. Also, an answer to another person in this comment.. God would have given Moses the speech to speak in the Egyptian Tongue by his Spirit if he has forgotten. Also, given that Moses was brought up in Egypt and have leading roles, then he would have known the Language.

And the construction of Egyptian idols is so earthbound and heavy and physical--stone, wood, sand, mud, blood, and water. The Hebrew God appearing, at most, as light/unburning fire/wind/a voice is so comparatively intangible, and yet proves time and time again to be the dominant power. And then the only thing that becomes truly tangible, in the end, are the commandments--not carved into stone by people for a god, but carved into stone for a people by a god.

In this storyline version, it's supposed to be a dream that God sent to him, so he could see why he was saved and his fate, unlike the other children who were killed and murdered by his adopted father's hands. So, he does somewhat remember the song somehow in his head, but otherwise, he didn't know the truth until his sister told him the truth. And his eyes opened for the first time he was a slave being raised by the royals. He was saved when millions of others were slaughtered. He realizes that ugly truth.

[@jessc.994]

One thing I find interesting is what they chose to do with the wall depicting Pharaoh wiping out the Hebrew children. Moses and Ramses were in that room all the time. Later in the movie, Ramses is sitting on the same ledge as the beginning, and Moses even says they could always talk there. However, Moses is clearly shocked at seeing the wall after the dream sequence, even though he’s been in that room many times before. It just shows how much he didn’t pay attention, or chose not to see, before everything happened.

You know, the funny and interesting thing is that I literally didn't know Michelle Pfeiffer was in this movie as the voice of Tzipporah, cause at the time I initially thought her role as Eris in _Sinbad_ (released five years after _Prince of Egypt)_ was her first and only DreamWorks Animated film she provided voicework. Still, it’s interesting to see Michelle providing voice as the heroine and love interest to Moses in _Prince of Egypt_ to becoming the main villain in _Sinbad_ five years later.

[@AshLee92490]

She did the voice work and the singing in "When You Believe". My first experience with Michelle Pfieffer was Grease 2...

[@EChacon]

@@AshLee92490 My first experience on seeing or hearing Michelle Pfeiffer was _Sinbad_ and especially _Stardust_ where she played the villainous witch Lamia. Come to think of it Michelle’s usually cast as either the Mom’s or as the Villains in later films.

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

YES!! it’s such an underrated one, I love all of the songs and the way it’s made almost just as much as this one!! And yet, because it was basically direct to DVD and not super successful, almost no one knows about it!

[@liljenborg2517]

It was a Direct to Video movie (Disney was doing a lot of D2V "sequels" at the time, too, like the Aladdin 2 & 3 or Lion King 2) and animated much more cheaply. You definitely don't see the lighting and cinematography that you see in Prince. I like the songs from Joseph, but you can tell they didn't have the movie-budget orchestra or choirs that Prince got. On the one hand, it's a much less "epic" a story and more personal - so the movie doesn't suffer as much for it as, say, Aladdin 2 did - but I still wonder what King of Dreams might have been if Dreamworks had sunk as much money into it as they did with Prince of Egypt.

[@Alphasnowbordergirl]

What I like about the movies is how even the Pharaoh (their father) wasn't evil. He loved his sons. He was tough on Rameses because he wanted him to be a good leader, he listened to Moses's advice, and when Moses's found out the truth, he tried to comfort him (albeit very poorly but he thought his words would help) hugging him. You see so little of the character, but they humanized him. It's easy to see that what Rameses went though was probably how he was raised as well.

[@emilyrln]

Yes, I really appreciate that aspect of the film! Pharaoh has the same blind spots Moses had before realizing who he was (ignoring and not valuing slaves). Part of Moses's horror and anger at Pharaoh might have been because he saw who he himself used to be in Pharaoh's behavior. We're very sensitive to our own flaws in others.

[@besupaaa]

Sure you gonna notice it but I love the scene where they show the Pharaoh's profile and his statue in the back, and then in the future we have the parallel of Ramses profile, and his statue is bigger than his father's. But I gotta say the voice actors cast in this is super ironic.

[@jacobmonks3722]

Ramses' statue is bigger, but his head appears noticeably smaller in frame, a nice visual metaphor for his inflated sense of greatness.

You should also check out the three other traditionally animated movies that Dreamworks made! • The Road To El Dorado • Spirit; Stallion of the Cimarron • Sinbad; Legend of the Seven Seas

[@davidh6284]

There are so many little moments in this movie that have a small story arc. 1) 2 Egyptian soldiers drop their weapons and join the Hebrews. Then they can be seen helping people crossing the Red Sea. 2) A little girl helps an old woman leaving Egypt. Then the old woman comforts the little girl when she's scared in the Red Sea. It's small things like that that make this movie even more special. And there is so much foreshadowing. I like that Rameses yells after Moses when Moses flees Egypt, and then Rameses yells after Moses in the same way after the Red Sea collapses.

[@SuperiorPosterior]

_The Road to El Dorado_ and _The Prince of Egypt_ are what made me think of DreamWorks as "Disney for grown ups." While certain things are changed to be more palatable for audiences (e.g. Moses having an accident rather than a murder on his hands), it's not made cutesy or childish. The Nile becoming blood becomes *_actual_* blood, which plays into the Egyptian priests(?) being charlatans for _only_ making a somewhat red-colored water.

[@richin2123]

This movie has an amazing all-star cast of voices: Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Sandra Bullock, Patrick Stewart, Jeff Goldblum, Helen Mirren, Martin Short, Steve Martin, Danny Glover (with Brian Stokes Mitchell supplying the singing voice), and Michelle Pfeiffer.

I am an atheist and I love this movie! About your thought at the beginning, being separated from your biological parents at a young age is actually easier than later. I am an adopted child and I had no problem growing up. It depends on what kind of family you end up with and how they tell you about your adoption

Right that makes sense, humans are really adaptable. I was wondering if there was like an effect like some animals that like imprint of the first creature they see etc. but yeah humans are so flexible.

@@thecocoacouch there is scientific research showing that babies who stay on their mother skin can develop a better link with her. Personally I don’t know a lot about my biological mother but my adopted parents always told me she didn’t abandoned me but gifted me in hope of a better life. I also had a name given to the nuns at the adoption center contrary to other babies who had numbers for nicknames. A name that I kept as my second name. That’s how you handle adoption with a kid. You don’t erased their past, you tell them so they can rise. I think it’s not about adaptation but more about love and care

[@angelaott295]

I'm glad your experience has been generally good. Adoptees attempt suicide at a much higher rate than non-adoptees though. It's not always roses for everyone. The primal wound of that separation from one's family, and sometimes culture and language, is a heavy thing to carry.

If anyone is interested, there’s actually some pretty cool archaeological evidence to support the Exodus story as being a real historical event. Some facts are as follows: - The city of Kahun (just outside the Egyptian city) was known to have Semitic slaves (the Israelite people) - showing that these people did exist. - Large wooden boxes, probably used originally to store clothing and other possessions, were discovered underneath the floors of many houses at Kahun. They contained the skeletons of babies, sometimes buried two or three to a box, and aged only a few months at death. In the Bible, Exodus 1:22 says, ‘Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw into the Nile..." Many grieving mothers must have had their babies snatched from their arms and killed. They apparently buried them in boxes beneath the floors of their houses. - Another striking feature was the fact that these slaves suddenly disappeared off the scene. An archaeologist writes, ‘It is apparent that the completion of the king’s pyramid was not the reason why Kahun’s inhabitants eventually deserted the town, abandoning their tools and other possessions in the shops and houses. The quantity, range and type of articles of everyday use which were left behind in the houses may indeed suggest that the departure was sudden and unpremeditated.’ - The Pharaoh at the time of the exodus story had a daughter who couldn’t bear children. She would have come to the river to bathe, praying to the river god Hapi, who was also the god of fertility. Having no children she would have needed such a god, and when she found the baby Moses there she would have considered it an answer to her prayers (Exodus 2:5-6). - Regarding the plagues of Egypt, Exodus chapters 7-12 describes waters of the sacred River Nile were turned to blood, herds and flocks were smitten with pestilence, lightning set combustible material on fire, hail flattened the crops and struck the fruit trees, and locusts blanketed the country and consumed what might have been left of plant life. The economy of Egypt would have been so shattered that surely there would be some record of such a national catastrophe. In the Leiden Museum in Holland there is a papyrus written that describes the conditions that prevailed after the plagues had struck. It reads, ‘Nay, but the heart is violent. Plague stalks through the land and blood is everywhere … . Nay, but the river is blood. Does a man drink from it? As a human he rejects it. He thirsts for water … . Nay, but gates, columns and walls are consumed with fire … . Nay but men are few. He that lays his brother in the ground is everywhere … . Nay but the son of the high-born man is no longer to be recognized … . The stranger people from outside are come into Egypt … . Nay, but corn has perished everywhere. People are stripped of clothing, perfume and oil. Everyone says "there is no more". The storehouse is bare … . It has come to this. The king has been taken away by poor men.’

[@Drakainas._.heart._.]

Where the crossing of the Red Sea took place is a gigantic section of melted sand (glass) between the path and the coastline, where the Israelites would have camped, where pillar of fire would have blocked the Egyptians from reaching them. Later on, there was a marble pillar that was put in place by King Solomon to mark the place where they emerged from the sea floor. There also used to be one on the Egyptian side, but it was torn down.

[@NicholasAHart]

There's also a very old tradition in Egypt, an ancient myth dating back centuries before the Exodus, that a day was coming when the first-born of Egypt would die.... Even the pyramids of (5th Dynasty) king Unas, and (6th Dynasty) king Teti, are inscribed with this line from a well known inscription called the "Cannibal Hymn": " It is the king who will be judged with Him-whose-name-is-hidden on this day of the slaying of the first-born". Him-whose-name-is-hidden.....ie. I AM WHO I AM (Exodus 3:14), the One who would someday fulfill the prophecy of the slaying of the first-born. That's speculation, of course, but fascinating.

Another excellent reaction. I don't comment often but I just wanted to let you know, if you ever see this, that out of all the reactors I've ever seen you are undoubtedly one of the best. Some people feel like they are forcing themselves but you just seem to bring us along for a ride you are invested in. I've watched every single one of your videos so long as they were of things I've already seen (I don't like spoilers but it gets hard sometimes when I'm getting tired not seeing as great reactions elsewhere after watching all of yours that I can). You seem very genuine and naturally have interesting reactions (physical and verbal, great for learning about how effective storytelling is/what makes other people interested, and you have interesting and thoughtful insights.) probably because you seem to have a true appreciation for this art form. If you read this, here are a few suggestions for future movies and shows to react to would be: *Joseph King of Dreams* (I know others want this as well), *Merlin* (a BBC series that is amazing and so underrated. It's genius in terms of character and acting, generally story wise as well, despite a couple of things that are forgivable due to how awesome it is overall), *Hidalgo*, *Padington* 1&2, *Arsenic and Old Lace* (very fun and bizarre), *Alita: Battle Angel* (underrated), *Narnia (the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe* is the best of the ones Disney put out and the most accurate. It's a 10/10), *The Secret World of Arrietty* (a Studio Ghibli adaptation of The Borrowers), *Castle in the Sky* (another Ghibli film), and if possible *Spy x Family* (Idk how possible it is, I'm pretty sure that animes tend to be a bit trickier with copyright) There are lots more that could be suggested. Mostly oldies but goodies, *The Lady Vanishes* (directed by Alfred Hitchcock), *Shane* (a western), *Fandango* (1985) and *Gaslight* . No idea if you've seen these animated films already but also: *The Incredibles, A Bugs Life, The Fox and the Hound, Up, Toy Story (1,2&3), Nemo, Megamind and Wreck it Ralph* . *Edits* were made to make some of the text bold.
