I think Joel Edgarton did a really great job - I do believe his performance as Ramesses was quite good. He manages to go from an unsure leader to a tyrant to a heartbroken father and Joel pulled that off brilliantly. The fact he's so damn good looking certainly helps. I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers.
Christian's answers were perfect. I like that he said "debate is healthy". Very professional answer. I cannot believe that Mr. Scott did not read the Old Testament before making this. It is unbelievable. Why would you make something so many people care about and not go to the effort to make sure you make it as true and real as you can? Why make the film at all in that case? Rather make a superhero movie about a fictional marvel character (which I would watch) that no one worships. The kid/Malak representation of G-d was my biggest issue with this movie. A voice from heaven would have been fine, a whisper on the wind would have been fine, an angel would have been fine, an old man would have been fine. But the kid came across as childish and petulant. (Great child actor, but the character didn't work.)
I would have liked a mysterious figure in robes with his head wrapped up so that you can see his face. I think that would have been a far better representation of God.
I was really lovin the movie....but then I paused it halfway in...read all of Moses in Exodus in King James...then I got pissed...it ignores so much of what's there....also movie does not develop Ben Kingsley...Aaron and Joshua enough as basic characters in a movie...
When the director said he did not bother to read the biblical story I actually felt nauseous. That is like making a film representation of "Moby Dick" without even reading the book. Unbelievable.
this one warms the heart too LOL www.newsweek.com/ridley-scott-refused-cast-mohammad-so-and-so-new-film-287689#:~:text=World-,Ridley%20Scott%20Refused%20to%20Cast%20'Mohammad%20So,and%2DSo'%20in%20New%20Film&text=Ridley%20Scott%20has%20responded%20to,was%20due%20to%20financial%20reasons.
This film had everything to be something truly remarkable: Great director, awesome ensemble cast, and huge budget to support the project. But no, the writers did a HUGE MESS with the plot. Was it that hard to take the bible and read? The Prince Of Egypt is 10 times better for sure.
Visually stunning, yet lacking in spirituality. Which is at the core of such and ancient and Biblical story. It's portrayal of God, shows the psychology behind the screenwriters, when penning this film.
I agree, the lack of spirituality and heart is the deal: That horrible script transformed Moses in some kind of atheist antipathetic soldier and basically seems that they just did a great spectacle without soul. P.S. The Prince Of Egypt is 10 times better in every way.
There's a reason stories like Moses are fundamental to three major world religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) because all were rooted from the same father, Abraham.
Agree 9nania And did he say he does not believe in God? Smh. Church was planner mg a movie putting to go see it... not sure if I'm interested as much now
When it comes to casting, my main complaint was the actor who played Viceroy Hegep. The actor who played him looked far too out of place. With that being said, I'm still not a huge fan of Christian Bale as Moses and Joel Edgerton as Ramesses.
Out of place? Ben Mendelssohn was the least of the miscasts. John T. as the pharaoh, Sigorney Weaver as one of the wives, & worst was the Scottish guy from Trainspotting as a priest.
My girl friend & I watched this movie yesterday. We: love this movie; incredible movie; not boring; feel like it's real (even if we did not see it on 3D or Imax); you feel their characters; as if you are part of the movie; Bale's a great actor; Ramsey's up there w/Bale in acting. Though there's some changes, after reading the Director's explanation, I did try to accept those changes. I do hope this epic movie gets an award/awards! For me, this movie is not racist just because the main characters’ white. For me, it's worth watching!
I just wish it would of been more accurate to the Bible although I still like the movie alot like the kid speaking as a messanger instead of God speaking from the bush some things I thought were stupid.. if they had movies that were exactly to the Bible description I would watch them over an over although I am watching it again right now. lol
6:34 lol Ridley didley, yet you can create worlds where aliens rip out of chests and create alien human hybrids, please you don't need to believe it, just portray it accurately , it's like saying Harry potters magic wand is not possible and we cant have that, so we are going to have to change that. I know he did not write the script, he was just the director, and he didn't even need to read the source material. If you did not read the source material , you really don't have a solid opinion.
it's funny how a monster actor like Bale can be stressed about his performance before starting doing the movie :D such a great movie by the way and great actors
ok yeh Moses is a historical figure for the 3 abrahamic religion sure but he was an hebrew and lead his people out of egypt to canaan modern day Israel which is the only country that has hebrew as it's official language. So I guess it's fine for other religions to play catch up now but Abraham and especially Moses, are both historical figures of jewish culture and identity.
who cares if theres black or white ppl.? the movie is more important than ppl criticizing about that stuff .... see the movie first before all the judgemental...and to those ppl saying there not a single dark person..check again oh and i saw the movie...its a great movie!!!
My favorite director, one of my favorite actors. Such a disappointing adaptation. The only way the movie works is to assume the audience knows the bible or has seen the Ten Commandments (1956). Otherwise, there's no character introductions or development. There's an assumption of prior awareness by the audience yet the director shuns a deep awareness of the original material. It feels like the material needed to make this film work was left on the editing room floor.
Beyond race or historical accuracy, the REAL issue is the extraction of the "God of the Bible" from the narrative. Ridley even said he does not buy/believe the Biblical account of God speaking to Moses from heaven so he "changed" it. The same thing happened with the Noah movie earlier this year. These movies are powereless from a spiritual/redemptive perspective because the Biblical account has been trashed. Say what you will about Mel Gibson's personal life, but he got "The Passion of The Christ" darn near perfect in terms of the Biblical/historical account. And you know what?... Hollywood HATED him with a PASSION. As a result, the hollywood croud began distancing themselves from him and Jim Caviezel. Hollywood has NOT made any attempts to discredit this movie nor the Noah film. While they went to extremes to rip the Passion of The Christ to shreds. Ask yourselves why??
Who cares? There are two important things here. One - Noah was much better fantasy movie with a cool massive battle scene, and two - there's no evidence for God's existence. What Hollywood thinks about movies with God in it doesn't matter all that much. Even if they would have agenda against God - it wouldn't prove that it exists in any way.
Tomasz Wota actually, the fact that they work against Biblical truths and against the work of God is evidence in and of itself that Hollywood HAS to actively work against "something" ...which in an odd way shows that even Hollywood believes there is a God - why else would they work to constantly discredit Him to save their profits?
vindemiatrix "Actually" - no it doesn't show in any way that they believe in God. It's reminds me of an old argument against atheists - they say they don't believe in God all the time, but hey - they wouldn't be so vocal about it if they didn't actually believed in him! They're probably just mad at him! Well duh, it's the same kind of stupid. If I speak out against the claim that the God (capitalized, hence of the Bible) is pure love it doesn't mean I believe God actually exists, it means I've read the thing and God kills a lot of innocents in these stories. But I guess killing innocents is how God shows his infinite love. Even if - and that's a big if - Hollywood would have an agenda against belief in Christian (or whatever other) god, then that is not an evidence for existence of that particular god. I mean, come on. It just doesn't follow. Think about it. There's no connection beyond a superficial jump.
christian bale is such a genious to shut his mouth untill movie is in postproduction to drop such heavy lines , like terrorist and drones 100 % sure producers were not prepared to that.
I love him but if I hear about u being in a movie I can't help but cast judgement right then and there. If I have a different opinion after the movie then so be it but that's YOUR job isn't it? To make me a believer in what u r doing in the film. So with all due respect dad. Have a ducking eggplant sandwich and shut the duck up telling me what to do.
What about Nathan messenger ? 🤣🤷♂️ he who wrestles with god - I like when the messenger gets Moses's attention calling him general - not finished - I like him -
People say Moses didnt exist but he did exist, there is tangible and empirical geological and historical data that proves it and there are far too many accounts of his existence that come from entirely different sources with entirely different origins that its impossible that he didn't exist. And the plagues were justified as the right thing because God of Moses (Allah in Arabic, Elloh or (Eloh) in Old Hebrew) created everything and there is nothing else that sustains all existence except Him. So anyone who believes or worship anything other than Him and oppresses his creation has no room in existence, because even the air Eqyptian's inhaled was His creation, space and time dimension their bodies occupied, even their human bodies as well as their souls were His creation. He created everything out of nothing, so everything is His whether He punish it or bless it, its His will, no one has any say in it. There is just no room for anyone who believes in anything else, not on this planet neither in space. Because He created **everything** and when someone believes in anything or anyone other than Him, then they lose right to **everything**. People with alternate false believes only exist and receive sustenance to complete the life time that has been allotted to them and that is it and nothing more. There is absolutely nothing for a non believer, any kind of plague or punishment is justified for a non believing oppressor and Egyptions were the worst of the oppressors.
Not only was Moses a terrorist, Ramses are a super-nice guy, especially by the standards of the time. Ask Hong Xiuquan and Amakusa Shirou Tokisada what happens when you try to pull that kind of bullshit on the Manchurian Empire or the Tokugawa Shogunate.
who exactly is this movie for "no christain gonna watch"no jewish person gonna watch it, athisist dont give a -- about moses, plus your misleading races ."what was the point of making this movie?
Disrespectful to the true tale. Trying to retell the story to make it more 'believable' is spitting on peoples faith! Yet he didn't even read the story in the Old Testament. Why spend money and time to make something that you don't believe in? I wish someone else would've directed this film.
As Achilles i didn't die i was poison and tricked by judist priest i sent statute of me with goats head scared the greek away from king Agamemnon my men Achilles show up in Egypt kill people poison killed Samson hurcles they died building a sewage system saved Egypt
Clearly the movie is not meant to be an accurate representation of either history or ancient myth, but the larger tragedy is that over 50% of Earth's population believes it is true history, and after watching this movie their children will think "God's Chosen People" are only bald white people, and even worse, with British accents.
Tuulia Moors "Six in 10 in this ABC News PrimeTime poll say the Biblical accounts of Moses parting the Red Sea, God creating the world in six days and Noah and the flood happened that way, word for word." abcnews.go.com/images/pdf/947a1ViewsoftheBible.pdf 60% is not a small minority.
Piesho Nais I wasn't talking about anybody's religious beliefs, I meant that only a small minority of people would take any movie as seriously as the writer above is assuming. Clearly people who think "God's chose people" are only white people speaking English because they see that in a movie must be idiots.
Tuulia Moors "only a small minority of people would take any movie as seriously as the writer above is assuming" If the plot of the movie goes against their personal beliefs, no, they won't.
RaNa Alaa you are white and not the original Egyptians yourself whether you like it or not, you are Arab and yes that's what makes you not African because when you in the Continent of Africa, you are African and you Arabs know you not Africans, you are just impostors lol!!!...come on check your History and stop posting empty comments just because you from Egypt does not mean we have to believe whatever you say come on!!!
RaNa Alaa Why is there no trace that ties you Arabs to the Pharoahs huh?!!!...www.dnatribes.com/dnatribes-digest-2013-02-01.pdf www.dnatribes.com/dnatribes-digest-2012-01-01.pdf
This is not one of those movies. This movie and many others are of religious stories that clearly didn't happen, they're not movies that try to convert. You have to respect the thrill and excitement of these stories; they make good movies.
This movie is a joke, Christian Bale as Moses?! It's amazing how you can completely ignore who Ancient Egyptians were...and they certainly weren't white, yet the gaurds and servants were black.
If you do a little digging, then you'd know that the real Ramesses II was in fact a red head - and since we don't know what his actualy family background was in terms of ethnicity it's quite possible he could have had a lighter skin tone.
@@victoriabardsley8097 please stop talking if you know nothing of the rituals and customs on ancient Egyptians. The hair is red because it was dyed! The mummy of Ramses II looks like what we would today call a “white” person . Except for when you consider they are part of an Afroasiatic family, and Ramses could possibly have looked like the people from the Horn of Africa, who also belong to the same genetic and language group. People from the Horn of Africa are not always called black and normally have up to 40% near Eastern admixture. Lastly, artifacts that aren’t often seen depicting Ramses ll has no different skin color than any indigenous African’s skin tone range. I think you're the one who has to go digging beyond the surface level.
@@PANADUCE Actually microscopic inspection of the roots proved that Ramesses II was in fact a red head - and that also suggests that he had other family members with red hair. Nice try though.
Delutional! The people of the biblical historical document were black.....this takes place in Africa....hello??? This is a fictional movie for entertainment....not remotely based in reality!
Christian bale and Ridley Scott are both known and confirmed members of Islaminati. Islaminati has been continues to control the world through the 3 religions or concepts made by them, namely, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Islaminati wrote all three books and stories., and has also made one book look superior while the other inferior. Keeps contradictions between the concepts, so that they dont look like, all the books have been written by one author. all lies and garbage. do not fall for such crap movies. they are made for mass control. to keep us under.
I think Joel Edgarton did a really great job - I do believe his performance as Ramesses was quite good.

I never found a problem with that infact it was more relatable considering in the gospels God took a human body just to be more relatable also.

It was either Christian Bale or Kevin Sorbo.

If you do a little digging, then you'd know that the real Ramesses II was in fact a red head - and since we don't know what his actualy family background was in terms of ethnicity it's quite possible he could have had a lighter skin tone.
@@victoriabardsley8097 please stop talking if you know nothing of the rituals and customs on ancient Egyptians. The hair is red because it was dyed! The mummy of Ramses II looks like what we would today call a “white” person . Except for when you consider they are part of an Afroasiatic family, and Ramses could possibly have looked like the people from the Horn of Africa, who also belong to the same genetic and language group. People from the Horn of Africa are not always called black and normally have up to 40% near Eastern admixture. Lastly, artifacts that aren’t often seen depicting Ramses ll has no different skin color than any indigenous African’s skin tone range. I think you're the one who has to go digging beyond the surface level.
@@PANADUCE Actually microscopic inspection of the roots proved that Ramesses II was in fact a red head - and that also suggests that he had other family members with red hair. Nice try though.
@@PANADUCE he wasn't blacm
Delutional! The people of the biblical historical document were black.....this takes place in Africa....hello??? This is a fictional movie for entertainment....not remotely based in reality!
Christian bale and Ridley Scott are both known and confirmed members of Islaminati. Islaminati has been continues to control the world through the 3 religions or concepts made by them, namely, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Islaminati wrote all three books and stories., and has also made one book look superior while the other inferior. Keeps contradictions between the concepts, so that they dont look like, all the books have been written by one author. all lies and garbage. do not fall for such crap movies. they are made for mass control. to keep us under.
