    The Prince Of Egypt Movie Description:
    The Prince of Egypt is a 1998 American animated musical drama film produced by DreamWorks Animation and released by DreamWorks Pictures. The first feature film from DreamWorks to be traditionally animated and their second overall, it is an adaptation of the first fourteen chapters of the Book of Exodus and follows the life of Moses from being a prince of Egypt to a prophet of the Lord, chosen by God to carry out his ultimate destiny of leading the Hebrews out of Egypt. The film was directed by Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner, and Simon Wells (in Chapman and Hickner's feature directorial debuts) with a screenplay written by Philip LaZebnik. It features songs written by Stephen Schwartz and a score composed by Hans Zimmer. The voice cast consists of Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.
    Jeffrey Katzenberg had frequently suggested an animated adaptation of the 1956 film The Ten Commandments while working for The Walt Disney Company, and he decided to put the idea into production after leaving Disney and co-founding DreamWorks Pictures in 1994. To make the project, DreamWorks employed artists who had worked for Walt Disney Feature Animation and Amblimation, totaling a crew of 350 people from 34 countries. The film has a blend of traditional animation and computer-generated imagery, created using software from Toon Boom Animation and Silicon Graphics.
    The film was released in theaters on December 18, 1998, and on home video on September 14, 1999. Reviews were generally positive; critics particularly praised the visuals, songs, score, and voice acting. The film grossed $218 million worldwide in theaters, which made it the most successful non-Disney animated feature at the time. The film's success led to the direct-to-video prequel and spin-off Joseph: King of Dreams (2000), and a stage musical adaptation which opened in London's West End in 2020.
    The song "When You Believe" became a commercially successful single in a pop version performed by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, and went on to win Best Original Song at the 71st Academy Awards, making it the first animated film independently outside of Disney and Pixar films, as well as the first DreamWorks Animation film to receive two nominations and win one at the Academy Awards, succeeded by Shrek (2001) and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005). The film also won the inaugural Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Animated Feature, in a tie with Disney and Pixar's A Bug's Life.
    In retrospective years since its release, the film has been widely acclaimed and regarded as DreamWorks' magnum opus, and one of the greatest animated films of all time.

      The Jewish people observe Passover every year to this day in remembrance of the night the Angel of the Lord passed over the doors marked with the blood of the lambs that were prepared on that first Passover supper. Their salvation from death by the shedding of a lambs blood is symbolic of what Christ would do many years later through His sacrifice on the cross.

      To anyone reading this, Jesus Christ Loves you so much that HE died for you all to save you all from eternal death and suffering. And HES calling you all to a relationship with HIM. All you need to do is to Believe in HIM with all of your Heart that HE died for all of youre sins meaning (past,present,future sins) and believe that HE rose again on the Third Day then you will be saved. Does that mean that i can now do anything i want, no. When you are now saved in Jesus Christ, you are now renewed in HIM meaning your old self (sins, darkness, lusts) are all gone For Jesus Christ has now renewed you and when you are now saved, you start a relationship with HIM, so that you may know HIM more and know about HIS words and commands which are in the BIBLE and aswell most importantly you can apply GODS words into your Life and Make GODS words your lamp to your feet and to your path and your guidance on How to Live life. And some might say i need to be clean (sinless) to come to Jesus Christ but thats not the Case, Because GOD Himself when you come to HIM will transform you and renew you, but does that mean that i will not sin again?, no but thats why you need to have full total Faith in GOD so that you will not sin against HIM and you will be all set. GODBLESS you all, May GODS Grace and Peace and Love which is Powerful be with you all❤.

    Fun fact:
    The reason why Moses went to talk to Ramses before the final plague to convince him one final time, was because God told Moses that Ramses himself would choose what the final plague would be.
    So when he goes on that rant, threatening to reenact his father's crime, Moses was trying to stop him because he *knew* what he was about to say and that would have been God's que to *finally* take the gloves off.

      Not to be that "ackchewally" guy, but the reason the plagues were what they were was because they were each an affront to a different god in the Egyptian Pantheon, proving the divinity of the Hebrews' God.
      The Nile river being turned to blood was an insult to Ea, the goddess of water, etc.
      The Egyptians regarded Pharaoh as a reincarnation of Ra; his inability to protect his own son would prove his claim to godhood as false.

    Two fun facts:
    1) Ofra Haza, the voice actress for Yocheved (Moses' biological mother, whose name may vary depending on the translation), sang her own vocals in 17 different languages for the various foreign releases.
    2) This film was animated using a mix of hand-drawn and CGI, which was later used by Disney when they made Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet. This was also made a few years before those, so that might be why the animation for things such as the basket baby Moses is put in or the stone tablets at the end might look a little weird.

    This movie may just be the greatest thing DreamWorks has ever released in terms of pure cinematic scale. The animation is incredible, it follows the story as written in the Bible almost verbatim, the score is perfect, (infact, this movie won an Oscar for Best original score,) and the bond, turned rivalry, turned hatred between Moses and Rameses was so fantastically and maturely written. Nothing the studio has released since has quite topped this in terms of pure cinematic scale.

    Fun facts about this movie:
    • in the Bible, Miriam (sister) goes to watch over him as he went down the Nile and made sure he was safe and when the Pharaoh’s daughter saw her, she was able to get Moses’s mother to take care of him as his nurse until he was old enough.
    • The four-minute parting of the Red Sea sequence took ten animators two years to complete.
    • The voice of God, to avoid controversy, was played by all of the major actors. The actors were told to whisper the lines, so none would dominate the performance, but by the time they got around to having Val Kilmer read his lines, they realized they needed someone to be louder. You still can hear the rest of the cast whispering beneath Kilmer's voice in God's lines.
    • When Moses enters the cave with the burning bush, God tells him to take off his sandals, for he is standing on holy ground. But when Moses leaves the cave, he doesn't put his sandals back on, and is barefoot for the rest of the movie.
    • Ofra Haza recorded her famous "River Lullaby" while singing to a baby doll, to allow herself to express as much emotion as possible. Ofra Haza performed the voice of Yocheved in 17 of the 20+ languages in which this movie was dubbed, pronouncing the words of the languages she did not speak phonetically.
    • This movie is banned in Malaysia, Maldives, Indonesia, and Egypt. But it was later released on video dvd format in Indonesia.
    • Changes were made to the story to make it work as an animated feature. Here is a short list of differences between the movie and the Biblical account of Exodus. 1. Moses was adopted by Pharaoh's daughter, not his wife. 2. Moses killed the Egyptian slave master. The words used in Hebrew suggest this was not done intentionally. 3. Aaron supported Moses from the beginning, and even helped perform some of the miracles of God. Aaron did not doubt Moses. 4. It was Aaron who turned his staff into a snake, and turned the water of the Nile to blood, not Moses.
    • The filmmakers have suggested that it is possible that Rameses II (Ralph Fiennes) died when the Red Sea closed, and that his final line ("Moses!") is imagined by Moses (Val Kilmer) as wishful thinking. This is why they appear on-screen at the same time during that moment.

      It works so well for non-religious as well because god is for the most part just a means to an end. The conflict is the oppression of the Hebrews, the identity crisis and guilty conscience of Moses and the clash he and his brother end up having where you can feel sympathy for both, even though one is very much in the wrong.
      And that's simply good drama.

    Because I’m Jewish, I really do have a gigantic soft spot for this movie. I absolutely love it, I consider it a masterpiece. I consider it the best cinematic representation of the Exodus story. I love how it elevates the story between Moses and Pharaoh to the level of Shakespearean tragedy by showing how they really were brothers, how much they truly loved each other, and how much neither wanted to be in this position. (“And even now I wish that God had chose another serving as your foe on his behalf is the last thing that I wanted”, “You who I called brother, how could you have come to hate me so? Is this what you wanted?”)
    I think it’s just a great movie. And I do think the relationship between the brothers really is the heart and soul of this movie and what makes it work so well.

  • @madNbooks
    @madNbooks 5 місяців тому +504

    From a storytelling perspective, the best decision the writers made was honing in on the brothers’ relationship and instead of going for the classic rivalry where Moses and Rameses were always at odds, making it one that was filled with love…because then watching it all fall apart becomes tragic and heartbreaking. Even if you know the story and the outcome, you hope it doesn’t turn out as badly as it does because it’s not fun or satisfying to watch the love turn to enmity - its just sad, and emphasizes the weight of what’s happening but on a deeply personal level.

    In the British museum is a parchment found in Egypt, of the 10 plagues, written by an Egyptian scribe from when the Exodus happened. There were many Egyptians who came to believe on Yahovah (God of the Bible) who covered their doors and left with Moses and the Hebrews and follow God. My family goes back to Manasseh, who was 1/2 Isra’el and Egyptian, son of Joseph (who was an Isra’elite slave to 2nd in command under pharaoh of his day). The story has some things missing but the jist of it is here. Hans is amazing, glad you enjoyed this, good review!

      To anyone reading this, Jesus Christ Loves you so much that HE died for you all to save you all from eternal death and suffering. And HES calling you all to a relationship with HIM. All you need to do is to Believe in HIM with all of your Heart that HE died for all of youre sins meaning (past,present,future sins) and believe that HE rose again on the Third Day then you will be saved. Does that mean that i can now do anything i want, no. When you are now saved in Jesus Christ, you are now renewed in HIM meaning your old self (sins, darkness, lusts) are all gone For Jesus Christ has now renewed you and when you are now saved, you start a relationship with HIM, so that you may know HIM more and know about HIS words and commands which are in the BIBLE and aswell most importantly you can apply GODS words into your Life and Make GODS words your lamp to your feet and to your path and your guidance on How to Live life. And some might say i need to be clean (sinless) to come to Jesus Christ but thats not the Case, Because GOD Himself when you come to HIM will transform you and renew you, but does that mean that i will not sin again?, no but thats why you need to have full total Faith in GOD so that you will not sin against HIM and you will be all set. GODBLESS you all, May GODS Grace and Peace and Love which is Powerful be with you all❤.

      And that's where that can go horribly, horribly wrong. Because Satan has used exactly that trick to deceive people, where their own voice moved them to say/do something, and they attributed the voice to God, but it actually wasn't. It was Satan inciting some unholy/inhumane/evil violence. Which then came to pass.
      Movie traditions, like religious traditions, are often contrary to the Bible's statements, instructions and prophecies, and that always creates doors for evil to enter and do what it does best: do evil in the name of God, and tarnish the name of God in they eyes of man, so that people by their own choices reject God in droves, because they are all deceived to think God is responsible, by attributing evil to Him instead of where it truly comes from: the heart of man, and the heart of Satan and his angels.

      so while the symbolism of the story is nice, the river turning red, not into blood but red, actually happened. all of the 10 plagues actually did happen but they are the result of a volcanic eruption in the mediterranean sea. the falling burning rocks are pumice, the red river is volcanic chemicals mixing with the water, the frogs leave the river because the water is now poisonous, the bugs overpopulated because the fish and frogs in the river that normally ate them died or left and thus the swarms. the bugs, poisonous volcanic gasses, and sulfur in the air from the volcano making acid rain brought the boils to the people. the animals dying was the lack of food caused by the bugs as well as the diseases the bugs brought plus also acid rain and poisonous air and water. and finally the death of the first born is because the injured, young, and elderly were having to stay inside for safety but food still had to be gotten, water had to be brought in, and work still had to be done so the strong oldest sons of each family had to take care of those things bringing them in more contact with danger to their lives.
      oh and also that volcano exploding was the cause of the myth of Atlantis as around that volcano had been a prosperous city state. the whole island that their city state was built on exploded under their feet when the volcano blew.

Especially when one sibling never recognizes the wrongdoings of the parent they protect. The music is amazing, the design and animation is amazing, the acting is on point, and I know that it's practically pulled directly from the sources, but the writing is phenomenal.

    Like, setting the book version aside, it just makes you think about moms. Moms in history in an impossible situation. Mothers now too, in impossible situations. Someone bad is coming to kill your baby, your infant Right Now. What do you do? She doesn’t know this river is a path to safety. Even setting religion aside and she’s “praying something good will come”. She’s essentially choosing to kill her baby on her terms and by putting him to sleep peacefully or as peacefully as she can. Send him down a river. That kind of choice and that kind of terror and pain I just always thought was so beautifully captured. And the cry she gives after her river lullaby, as if she’s wailing to the sky with all the grief of a mother who has had to just doom her infant on her terms so someone else doesn’t kill them cruelly. Shattering.

    This is one of THE best animated movies of all time, a perfect example of how you adapt and change a story to focus on a really important message, not hammering it home, but making it part of an overall beautiful narrative. The songs and voice performances are masterclass, as is the directing and editing, this movie is even better than the best Disney movies of the time (Disney renaissance Era), and none has come close ever since then. - Sadly we lost Ofra Haza way too soon, she was one of the best Israeli-Singers and Songwriters ever, and her voice in this movie shines so brightly (she even spoke and sung her lines in dozens of languages worldwide, so she is the only constant single voice worldwide, which is just AMAZING!). - And yes, I have NEVER ever seen such a star studded cast in any movie ever (Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Danny Glover, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Martin Short and probably some I forgot).

    It's fun to watch people who aren't extremely familiar with the Bible react to this. Kinda like watching folks who aren't anime fans react to One Piece.
    I watched this as a kid (not super young, of course), and by that time, I was already very familiar with the Bible story. So I knew why Moses was put into the water, and why Aaron wasn't. (When I watched as a kid, the death and such didn't feel as real. I mean, yeah, it was real to me... but naïveté protected me from the full impact. Same goes for multiple Bible stories.)
    34:20 - Yep, Moses was old. Eighty years old, based on Bible reckoning. Forty when he left Egypt the first time. (I sometimes wonder if their calendar was a bit different, when I see the ages in the Bible. Or if they rounded up and down for poetic reasons. Moses's life was split neatly into forties.)
    35:00 - Yup. Perfect edit. That particular set of tablets doesn't last long. >_>
    Actually, I bet Mel would have a GREAT reaction to the golden calf thing. He'd share some of Moses's disappointment, exasperation, anger, sadness, etc.
    37:40 - All the disclaimers asking people to be civil in the comments... I've seen multiple people react to this, and it seems like the comment sections are all peaceful. We're all united by appreciation for an excellent movie. The biggest discord may be the book versus movie stuff. They took artistic license with several things-compressing the timeline, developing characters/adding scenes to enhance portrayal of characters, leaving out Aaron's big role in speaking for Moses, etc. The book adapted is the BIBLE, and "Bible fans" are still less "well, actually" about it than LOTR fans often are. :)

    • @dancedancelauren
      @dancedancelauren 4 місяці тому +2

      Spot on with Moses' age! And yes, it's possible his ages are poetic/symbolic - almost all numbers explicitly listed in the Bible are highly symbolic, because the "meaning" of numbers was usually more important to ancient cultures than their numerical accuracy. 40 is a super important number Biblically, especially as it relates to the Exodus (I mean seriously, practically everything is in 40s), but it shows up repeatedly throughout the Bible and frequently is meant to call back to the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years after they refused to enter the promised land the first time. Though your comment shows you're at least somewhat familiar with the Bible/Biblical discussions/the Exodus, so... you probably already knew all this. Sorry. 😅

    • @LexAnnalyn
      @LexAnnalyn 4 місяці тому

      ​@@dancedancelauren Interesting insight into the number 40! It's very likely that I've heard about the connection, but I admit that I usually forget discussions about significant numbers and what they symbolize. I can remember and point out some numbers and their connections (Jesus's 40 days and nights in the desert is very relevant here), but it's not been a focus in my studies. Numbers are slippery for me, and I'm pretty sure all the biblical numbers I remember are from stories and passages I'd heard/read many times before I even turned 10.
      I can tell you the connections between other things (covenants throughout the Bible, for example). But numbers? Ehhh...
      I appreciate the reminder of the symbolic/poetic use of numbers throughout the Bible. It's relevant to my recent reflections on how we interpret Scripture. :)

    The Ten Plagues of Egypt (In Order):
    1. The Nile River and all fresh water is turned to blood.
    2. Frogs emerge from the Nile and invade homes.
    3. The Egyptians are infected with lice and pestered by gnats.
    4. The Egyptian homes are overrun with flies and bugs.
    5. All livestock in Egypt die.
    6. The Egyptians (Including the Pharoah) are inflicted with painful boils.
    7. Flaming Hail rains down from heaven, destroying many homes and monuments.
    8. Locusts devour all remaining plants, sending Egypt into a devastating famine.
    9. Egypt is covered in total darkness for 3 Days.
    10. The firstborn boys of all homes in Egypt that are not marked with lamb's blood are killed.
    The Israelites are spared from all of these plagues. There is also a substantial significance in the choice of plagues too, as all of the plagues correspond to a god in the Egyptian pantheon, to demonstrate God's total superiority over the Egyptians. For example, The Nile turning to blood is a direct shot to the Egyptian god Hopi, and the Sun being blotted for 3 days is a shot at the god Ra. The final plague is a shot at the Pharoah (considered a god by the Egyptians). By killing Pharoah's firstborn son and thus ending his bloodline, God establishes his superiority over the entire Egyptian pantheon of gods AND their godly leader, while ALSO getting justice for the hundreds of years of slavery the Egyptians had inflicted on the Israelites.

    They show how hard it is to go against what you may have known your whole life. I love that they don't shy away from how cruel the plagues were and the pure pain Moses and Ramses feel as they see someone who they believe was their brother turn into someone they don't recognize.
    Plus Ramses is severely damaged by that pressure put on by his father i imagine.

    My favourite songs are when Moses meets God in form of a burning bush. You have to listen to just the soundtrack without the voices. It's haunting and beautiful.
    The other one is the River lullaby. I catch myself singing or humming it every once in a while.

    I love this movie. I actually was reading about Prince of Egypt yesterday. I absolutely love this movie. Growing up going to church regularly. I watched this movie often. This year is 25th anniversary of this movie.
