What a beautiful movie this is. A little background info for those who are interested, just things that make this movie even better: Jeffrey Katzenberg, the founder of Dreamworks, while working for Disney, has always wanted to do a Bible adaptation, but the then leader of Disney did not want that. So Katzenberg, instead of abandoning his idea, and after growing more disillusioned with Disney, took the first opportunity after creating Dreamworks to create this adaptation. He consulted both Christian and Muslim theologians to make sure it turned out as accurate and great as possible, and these theologians worked together to help create this work of art. He never cared how much the film will make, he wanted to see his vision become reality and he set out to make it one, no matter what. This was a project made out of pure love and not an ounce of greed, and THIS is why it has become such a legendary piece. I'm grateful he saw the project through so we could enjoy it even after 23, almost 24 YEARS!

[@keh-dalia809]

Yeah, and then Disney fought to buy out dreamwork to stop him, and eventually did buy out dreamworks, what a disgusting shame!

That's the trick. Realizing that no one, regardless of their social and emotional wellbeing, knows all the steps. You can spend a lot of time learning and trying to adjust your perceptions and beliefs about yourself, but the only way to truly grow is to start experiencing life firsthand. That's the true catalyst for positive change. Granted, it's easier said than done with people who have more debilitating conditions, but the core idea still holds true.

This film does something most Biblical films fail to do -- it humanizes Moses. He struggles to build a new life for himself, he finds himself serving a God he barely knows, and he is genuinely conflicted over the things that God does. He even still retains respect and love for his brother the Pharoah even though he knows his heart is hard and his stubbornness leading to unimaginable pain and suffering. Now if someone would only make a film that does the same justice to Jesus...

[@AzguardMike]

the film ends on a depressing note too. He gets the commandments. And we all know what happens next when he returns to the camp of the Hebrew's he just saved. They are whoring, worshipping other God's, drinking, gorging, blaspheming. And God, the merciful deity that he is "Smite! Smite! Smite!!!"

[@Danielsbigfish]

0:21 It's pretty simple and short, but I really like how the camera shifts to show Tzipporah's expression after Moses humbles himself to Jethro, saying that he's done nothing in his life worth honoring. I like to imagine it as an eye-opening experience for her. She has this image of Moses constructed in her mind of this spoiled and entitled Egyptian prince, but all it takes is that one self-reflective comment that he makes and you can see that she's left having to completely rethink her perspective of his character. It's a small detail, but I think it's underrated.

[@jpraise6771]

[@lonewasp]

I was about to write this! It's a great transition, especially when the song is about viewing one's life through "heaven's eyes" - in other words, seeing the greater picture of your life and how it connects to everything else. Thus how much we see Moses' life progress in these 3 minutes (which, in the movie, of course, is probably several years) connects with the message of the song - all of these little moments that we see of Moses' life with these people over several years are part of a greater picture. And it's all so fluid and well done that the audience barely even questions how several years progress in 3 minutes! (Technically in the bible he stays with Jethro for around 40 years, but, obviously they didn't want that much of a time gap in the movie.)

[@QuantumWalnut]

The impressive thing about this scene is that you don't even realize how much time skip they did in less than 4 minutes. By visual cue, it is implied that many years had passed since Moses first attended that bonfire dance. The writers need to get Moses back to Egypt as quickly as possible (because, you know, that iconic scene), but they must also give him enough time in the tribe to experience an emotional transformation. Now consider you only have less than 4 minutes to do that as a writer/animator, how are you going to do that while weaving a musical sequence into the plot? I can see animation students going back to study this film even today.

as an atheist, it's often bugged me how people go "this is really good despite being a bible movie", or something to that effect. There is no "but" about this movie. The bible has epic stories that have a point for the believers, and this movie would NOT be as good if it didn't take that religiousness seriously. This movie is moving BECAUSE it's about faith. Whether or not I believe doesn't matter. I enjoy seeing other people's beliefs (I actually love the Hindu faith the best because their stories and gods feel so human to me), and if Moses means this much to people, then how can you NOT be moved?

I love how GENUINE Jethro's singing is. You can FEEL the absolute PASSION in his soul as he sings, because he KNOWS that what he's saying is more valuable to Moses than anything that's ever been spoken to him by man, and his heart cannot contain it. The final verse always shakes me; the way he's singing isn't just a song - this song is a prayer, a PSALM. His faith is so STRONG, steadfast, and true. He will never give up his God for anything. You can hear the goodness in his heart echoing through each word, and you suddenly feel welcomed, brought home. You're family now. THAT'S how God's Word is supposed to make you feel.

[@robertlombardo8437]

I've had the pleasure of attending Passover Seder at a Messianic Jewish church. As well as hearing the story of Esther read aloud. The joy and community of the people can simply not be contained and it takes on a new tone with them knowing in their hearts that their Messiah really has come for them. As though all their long history of suffering and hard labor has truly been worth it. One of the church members is even old enough to remember living in East Germany. Her family escaped the Holocaust only to live through that nightmare. She is just blind in her joy though. Whatever new thing comes over the horizon, she knows that it's all taken care of.

Well the entire point is that the perspective you need is one of godly origin. As the song said, a human can only see one string and never the entire tapestry. A million humans can only see a million strings and still not the tapestry. You can gather millions and billions of strings and all you will see are repeating patterns on a pile of strings. You will never know what a tapestry is because you don't acknowledge that the strings are a piece of decoration being hung on a wall. You need to acknowledge that there is a wall in the first place and your tapestry is only beautiful because it sits over a wall. An atheist that does not believe in a wall, in a god, will never know what a tapestry is because all you will see is an expanse of woven strings you can't even see the edge of.

[@shadydaemon4178]

I’m not a fully fledged christian, even though I have always went to church, and I love always been worried about being late. But I didn’t go once since I was sick, twice because someone else got sick. Anyway, I’ve watched this movie again today, and my brother who also hasn’t seen it in a long time, recited the lyrics to the songs of the movie. Even this one, and me and him were happy to watch it again. So even though you’d not really be particularly involved in religion(I’m sorry if I assumed), you can even be welcomed. And that’s what this song is likely about.

[@Faithandhope44]

I'd like to add that this song shows how we can never see ourselves as God sees us- once we repent and are forgiven, He truly sees us as His children: imperfect but loved. He knows how valuable we are to Him, and though we fail to see it, His purpose for us is so, so important. We must also look through Heaven's eyes in order to see how He works through those around us. ❤

@@adamandeveourfirstparents4709 Yes and the story of Moses is based on religious beliefs, but the way this movie is made isn't so forced and unrealistic. it shows emotions for how they are, and that Bible characters are human too. They feel doubt and worry just like the rest of us. You can also see Moses finding his self worth and purpose throughout the film, like a lot of people struggle with themselves. It shows you can always redeem yourself and find your path in life. It gives multiple messages that you can use in life (for ex: finding self love) that can stick with people and impact them besides the typical "follow God now or you'll burn" type of forced message a lot of legalistic religious people push. Even the Biblical references used can be tied to every day life lessons and can give you a different perspective to life.

Never demand life give you something. Be grateful always for what you have, no matter how little it may be. Give thanks for your life, for the struggles you possess and are moving through, because something bigger and brighter is coming your way. Keep pushing on, and smile, knowing that others have been there too. You're not alone. We are but a speck in the grand scheme of it all, but we can have such a lasting impact on this world. Don't fill your heart with hate. Forgive the ones that have wronged you, and above all else, forgive yourself. Learn to love, to see your life from the outside looking in. Whether you see it or not, you have something in your life that someone else envies. Treasure all that you can, while you can, because we are temporary beings and time is ever fleeting. And NEVER....EVER.....EVER....forget to LIVE. Laugh with your whole gut, with wild abandon. Dance and sing like no one is watching. Wave to a stranger that passes you, and enjoy the fruits of this world. I wish you all prosperity, love, forgiveness, hope, peace, and courage in the world. You are seen and loved!! ♥

You can never see through the eyes of man You must look at your life Look at your life through Heaven's eyes [ENSEMBLE] Ai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Ai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Ai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Ai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai [ENSEMBLE & JETHRO] Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai [JETHRO] A lake of gold in the desert sand Is less than a cool fresh spring And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy Is greater than the richest king If a man lose ev'rything he owns Has he truly lost his worth? Or is it the beginning Of a new and brighter birth? So how do you measure the worth of a man? In wealth or strength or size? In how much he gained or how much he gave? The answer will come The answer will come to him who tries To look at his life through Heaven's eyes And that's why we share all we have with you Though there's little to be found When all you've got is nothing There's a lot to go around No life can escape being blown about By the winds of change and chance And though you never know all the steps You must learn to join the dance You must learn to join the dance [ENSEMBLE & JETHRO] Ai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-la-lai Ai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-la-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai [JETHRO] So how do you judge what a man is worth? By what he builds or buys? [JETHRO & ENSEMBLE] You can never see with your eyes on Earth Look through Heaven's eyes Look at your life, look at your life Look at your life through Heaven's eyes JETHRO]

Who needs that stupid, white-washed Christian Bale "Moses" movie when you've got this masterpiece to watch?

[@m.q.7149]

Charles Heston played Moses before him and he was white too. The 10 Commandments is still considered a classic though! Do you think the same will happen with Exodus?

[@ElongatedVowels]

M. Padilla To be fair, at least The 10 Commandments tried to stay close to the source material. Exodus is a summer action flick that I can already tell will be nowhere near accurate to the original story.

[@ElongatedVowels]

ElongatedVowels Also (I can't seem to edit comments on mobile), The Ten Commandments had a white cast because it was the 1950s. A major black (or any minority) actor in hollywood in the 50s? I don't think so. We live in the year 2014 and some white Australian dude with a bad tan is playing an ancient Egyptian pharaoh? Inexcusable.

[@m.q.7149]

ElongatedVowels That's a good point. I'm not too familiar with Ancient Egyptian history. But wasn't their society mixed because of the Romans and Greeks? Also I think they chose Christian Bale because he was Batman and draws a big audience. Who do you think should be playing Ramses and Moses?

[@ElongatedVowels]

In the classical period and onward, Egypt did have a much more ethnically and culturally homogenous society because of Greek, Roman, Arab, etc. influence. But at this point in history (during which the Exodus takes place, somewhere around 1500 BC) the majority of the free Egyptian population was of the native Egyptians (khemet), i.e. black African people. And honestly, I couldn't care less who plays who. As long as they're good actors and actually representative of the culture their portraying.

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. Watched it over and over. My grandma owned this on DVD and borrowed all the time. It amazed me that a story I grew up knowing could be made into such a pretty movie. Now being older I understand the meanings and art put together so that this movie could be made. That what makes it such a masterpiece, it appeals to children because it's a easily understood film, but also appeals to older people because of its symbolism and story. I'm happy to have grown up knowing this movie, and loving it even then.

The part that ALWAYS hits me is the “ the stone that sits atop of the mountains mighty face doesn’t think it’s better than the one that forms it’s base , so how can you know what your life is worth or where your value lies if you can’t see your life through heavens eyes“ As someone who is always too hard on myself feeling like a constant screw up because I’m not as far along as where I want to be in life has me depressed until this lyric hit.. who am I to say I haven’t made any impact on others or that I wouldn’t be missed if I was gone. Sometimes you have to look outside your self and see yourself how others see you , while I may not think my life is all that great others around me who say I’ve changed their life would disagree. Life really is what you choose to make of it , if you only feed your brain negative thoughts you’ll only experience negativity. I see this now !

It's absolutely shocking how this song is so resonating in today's world.

[@alien9413]

While not a believer, that is a pretty cool metaphor at how religion has stuck with people for centuries now. People of different generations being able to get guidance from it.

[@p1ckmansm0del]

+Alien Not just guidance. But hope, faith, and a way to keep themselves from doing wrong doings

한솔 the same people are alive in america today they're labeled black and hispanic judah and rueben or judah and isaachar..

[@adrian2461000]

It genuinely hurts me that we'll probably never see movies like these made in a long time.

I’m 30 and I know how you feel. I’ve been driven to near insanity by the state of Post Pandemic Hollywood

[@skudopludo]

I’m 20 years old this year. Life goes by very quick. I tear up when I watch this

[@garystewart2355]

Ever since I heard this song I've been obsessed with Brian Stokes Mitchell looking for youtube clips of him singing and I found the best performance of Impossible Dream I've ever heard.
