Prince of Egypt Review: Raining Down Discontent Old Testament Style 

Dream works is trully a glass cannon company. I feel like they almost never make a product of a consistant quality as it could be a master piece in one and complete ass the next

No kidding, back in the day DreamWorks didn't worry about making or referencing religion in their films, prince of Egypt was one example, I was surprised in road to el Dorado where the captain talked about his men describing them as, "hand picked by me, like the disciples of christ!" It's only one reference, but it's pretty deep from the character, referring to how Jesus picked his disciples personally, choosing the ones he thought were the best of the best!

After I watched the Behind the Scenes, I am fully in the belief that God had a direct influence on the team.

The 10 commandments? Don’t you mean The Exodus?

@Skiazo_chu _Prince of Egypt_ took some inspiration from _The Ten Commandments,_ which was a huge Hollywood production that starred Charlton Heston.

There's CGI in this movie, but they blend it well so it's not off-putting.

its about money, this movie had alot of money put in it while even today alot of animes barely get any, thats why "bad" cgi gets used

@@spectron5012 while I do think money can one of the problems for CG in anime, I do think it is manly the lack of "know how" the use of CG is somewhat new for Japan, I do believe if they have a better grasp of CG it may not look breath taking but I do think it would have looked way better with the same amount of budget. One example that is more of an outlier is Ex-arm, unlike what people thought, the anime had a descent budget, they just invested it poorly.

@@nobody4741 We've had good CG in anime recently (e.g. Land of the Lustrous), so it really does come down to whether the studio has the time, money, and desire to utilize it correctly.

Others worth checking out are The Ten Commandments (anything with Charleton Heston is a classic), Ben Hur, Hacksaw Ridge, Silence, Jesus Revolution, The Passion of the Christ (gets kinda gory for my liking, but its a great film nonetheless), Amazing Grace (the one about William Wilberforce who headed the effort to end Britain's role in the slave trade), Luther, The Passion of Joan of Arc, Soul Surfer (where a girl got her arm eaten by a great white), Kingdom of Heaven (the extended cut of Ridley Scott's film is better), the Chronicles of Narnia films (the first two are good anyway), The Last Temptation of Christ, Andrei Rublev, The Devil All the Time (not explicitly Christian, but very clearly containing relevant themes about how our misconceptions of God lead people to justify acts of evil in the name of righteousness), Unbroken (the main character's experiences in WW2 were nuts), The Seventh Seal, The Tree of Life, The Book of Eli (I don't care, I'm including this because you can't exactly ignore its inherent religious/spiritual themes, and it was pretty clearly producer Denzel Washington's intent to preserve that element of the story, plus it's just a badass, underrated film where Washington and Gary Oldman absolutely kill ut), The Lord of the Rings (same reason as The Book of Eli, it stands on its own two feet, but there is very deliberate Christian themes and symbolism throughout). There are actually quite a few great films with inherently religious themes (and I just mentioned some films relevant to Christianity). Sadly, too many so-called "Christian films" suck for more or less the same reason why many environmentalist and social justice films today suck. They care more about proselytizing and using the film as a sermon more than concerning itself with telling a good story first and foremost. Thankfully, there are still many quality examples. As far as shows go, Daredevil is one of my favorite shows, and it also has a ton of religious themes, as does Midnight Mass.

Summed up every royal bloodline. So focused on keeping the family strong that they cornered themselves into inbreeding

I think the Egyptian royalty only practiced incest with the Ptolemy's.

Fun fact I am the kid who had nightmares after watching this film when I was 5 or6

True, but revisionists will skin you alive if you bring that up.

They did make a prequel The King of Dreams. Though it was straight to video.

@@Guciom That was a prequel? I thought King of Dreams came out before this.

Imagine a movie about the life of David in this art style.

@@Tyler_W David’s life in this art style would be an amazing story!

Also. “Man of God” and “The Island” are highly rated orthodox movies

The fact that to this day with had no good take on the story of Samson is a crime!

@@Guciom i have been telling people for a while that the life of david could be an insane Game of Thrones level show with all the crazy political intrigue and war that happens during his time.

So you're saying God weaponized Kek?

Same

If I remember correctly, one of the major co-founders of DreamWorks was an ex-Disney Employee who got passed up on promotion and was let go by Mike Eisner. Eventually he would form his own studio DreamWorks with Spielberg and that's why there are many jabs and insults to Disney and Eisner himself in Shrek.

Now it looks like we're in a period where DreamWorks and now Illumination are credibly challenging Disney's animation dominance.

You may have a gun, but Loli has Shota.

Was that actually Bob Odenkirk? If not that’s the best impression of any character ive ever heard

@@fwwaller Loli trained an AI specifically to impersonate Saul Goodman. He posted about it on his twitter

A movie about the crazy stories of King David would be sick. He gets chosen by a prophet as a boy to supplant a corrupt king. He kills a giant (and later the giant's siblings) in single combat. He becomes a renowned warrior and goes on the run from the king because of the King's jealousy where he forms a mercenary band of outcasts (quite possibly some of the inspiration for Robin Hood and his band). He becomes king, expands the kingdom, is mostly a great ruler and considered a virtuous man after God's own heart in the way that he always tried to do the right thing and made amends when he made mistakes. While he was on the run, he's actually a real hit with the ladies and ends up marrying two or three different women who are all in love with him, but because of the messy family dynamic and the pressures of ruling both a kingdom and his complicated household, he was kind of an inadequate father, which leads to some ugly family drama down the line between his various kids (real Game of Thrones level messiness). He gets wrapped up in adultery and gets the woman's husband (and his friend) killed in battle to cover up the pregnancy. He gets called out on it by a prophet and does what he can to make things right again. One of his sons leads a coup that splits the kingdom in a short-lived civil war, and he kills the captain of his royal guard for taking it upon himself to kill David's insubordinate son against David's wishes. There are some wild stories, and I'm kinda shrouded that nobody has seriously tried to adapt them like so many have with Moses and Jesus.

@@Tyler_W Dude, Uriah alone could be pushed into full blown Hellfire-from-Hunchback territory if done right.

i guess you discovered reddit during that time lol

i assume you are joking or something ?

He always was. God is good.

​@@arawn1061It is the absolute Trinitarian cope that that God and Jesus are the same. They just can't handle the idea of Jesus having any human in him.

That would be awesome if he does

Are you talking about Cecil B DeMille's 'The Ten Commandments'? I used to have my dads VHS copies of that film, but no VHS player to watch them on. Should probably look into getting the BD version one of these days.

@@Dimumouto Yep. Also, I recently checked out the 1960's epic "The Bible-In the Beginning", just two weeks ago. It's pretty much them going "Hey, what if we simply put these stories into the big screen? No, we're not going to 'modernize' it or 're-interpret' it, no. We're simply going to retell these stories as closely as it was written, using film techniques and technologies at the time." The result is...pretty wild, and ambitious.

He's also identified as the burning bush, pretty much any time "the angel of the Lord" is mentioned in the OT (since said appearances are identified as "Lord"), and God as seen in the Garden of Eden

Disney remade the lion king, what stop DreamWorks from remaking the lion king complete?

​@@daninogil Liberals...they would cry for this movie to be torched. They hate Christianity

Thank you for being truthful

I wished they kept the parts after they escaped Egypt, I feel it would show more problems Moses had to deal with (Aaron had to speak for Moses most of the time as Moses was not a good speaker, his people were unbearable and they even wanted to go back to Egypt despite all the damage and miracles God committed unto Egyptians to lead the people he promised out of egypt to the promise land) and even God's patience was at its limits. I feel it show Moses' patience and his loyalties to his duty to God and even to a people he wasn't even raised by but are his blood despite it all. But maybe that make the movie too long and I get a feeling it would not see the light of day if one paints even the ancient ones as bad as any other human can humanely be.
