For me it's the whispered "I shall be *with* you, Moses..." at the end, and the tear of wonder, relief, joy, and comfort that shows in Moses's face after his encounter with the Divine. So many human touches to this scene for an animated film; it's just excellent. The amount of reverence they showed in their depiction of God, keeping the sublime without making it heavy handed or preachy, was so well-done. We need more films like this.
3:00 Just realized that there is a second, softer, quieter voice of God speaking in tandem with the authoritative (and angry) voice of God. Turn it way up, you'll hear it.
The reason why you feel the presence of god is because they’re reciting the word of God the Bible! That’s why we all get chills and cry. This is the power of God
This comment is not for the person who posted it but is for the production company Dreamworks Animation, who made "The Prince of Egypt". This scene has added and taken out words from the Holy scriptures according to Exodus chapter 3 through chapter 4 to verse 17. To all viewers please remember Revelation 22: 18 -19 "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book, 19, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." If the production company could not go word for word as it is written in the Holy scriptures. Then do not make a movie on it. Whether a children movie or not, everyone is to have the same teaching in the Lord Jesus Christ.
As a Christian, this is one of my favorite scenes in animation history, this movie is what I believe to be the greatest animated film of all time and this scene perfectly captures the reverence to the Bible and this account. The soundtrack is just transcendent in this scene to the point that even when I don’t watch the scene, just by listening to The Burning Bush when God speaks to Moses it always makes me shed tears. It’s just such a powerful and uncompromising work of art that will never cease to amaze me.
As a former troublemaker who didn't know their place or meaning in society, who's now persuing a career in healthcare (and thriving)..I watch this scene as a reminder of my mission, and that I AM meant for something great in this world, bc it's in God's will for me to do so. I never knew if I'd ever find my way. Every time I watch this scene, I fight back tears.
"Who made man's mouth? Who made the deaf, the mute, the seeing or the blind? Did not I?? Now Go!!" Always loved that delivery because its like God was impatient but also stern in a Godly father way...showing He is God and He's not to be doubted or questioned. He humbled Moses 🙏🏾🙏🏾 and the animation portrayed both perfectly 3:00-3:10
I had an encounter with Jesus, he came to me in a dream during a hard time in my life and his love and comfort split my dream down the center and woke me up, while awake I could still feel his endless love and hear his voice speaking to me, later as i was thinking about his voice, I thought it sounded very familiar and I realized it sounded really similar to the voice in this scene, except his voice definitely had an even more ethereal quality to it that can't be reproduced. Like rushing waters as the Bible says.
I feel like if most people were to pick one scene to why they like The Prince of Egypt, it would be the parting of the Red Sea. For me, it would be this scene that best represents why I love this movie. 😢
3:18 Starting here, when God is holding Moses with His Light and It goes into Moses.... I feel it too. I literally feel not just emotions but... the Holy Spirit within me reacting to it. It's like I'm there with Moses sharing the experience. This whole scene was beautiful. 🥹🥹
I love how Val Kilmer voiced both Moses and God in this scene, because when we speak to God, it feels just like another voice inside our head. That was a nice detail with the filmmaking
I was 7 when this film came out. I'm now 32 and it still moves me to tears. What I didn't realise was how much this story would come to mean in one of the darkest times of my life. Waiting for God to lead me through the desert ❤
Every time I watch this I cry and I bow at the splendor of our lord and his absolute forgiveness. I’m not half the man I want to be but with him all is possible.
3:34 - 3:47 I could be completely wrong here but I think this part is referencing a moment in Exodus chapter 33 verse 22 where it says “When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.” So I think what we’re seeing here is God’s Back.
This movie is absolutely iconic. Beautiful! One of my favorites from childhood! Left a huge impact and sense of awe and splendor in my soul. And I can only assume that our Father spoke NOT in English when it actually happened. Can you imagine what that sounded like?!? Beyond intense I bet! #IBelieve ❤❤❤
So many of us long for a meeting like this with God, so many wish to find a purposed but I promise you, go into the woods and listen. Clear your head and listen. God will find you and show you your path.
