Cecil B.DeMille's 1956 remake of his epic THE TEN COMMANDMENTS filmed in egypt and the sinai with one of the biggest sets ever constructed for a motion picture.. Enjoy the video and feel free to post comment.. God Bless Ya'll
If it were made today (without CGIs but produced as it was done in the 1950s), it would cost about $500 million. Parting of the Red Sea and the writing of the Tablets are impressive scenes.
yes Ben Hur won far more Oscar's, and was a great movie. However it is not a holiday classic that appear on primetime TV, also if you ask ppl to name a biblical movie we all know that 10 commandments would win hands down
This movie is so awesome! I see it every year! It's a tradition in my house! All the performances, actors, lines are classic! Anyone who doesn't like this classic film, must be severely lacking in good taste!
In 1956 people must have been blown away by the Parting of the Red Sea sequence. Best lines in the whole movie "His God is God!" Fade to black....................
People tend to forget that when the Ten Commandments was first released in 1956 to the public it received very mixed reviews. Most of the public loved it. Many film critics and some other film reviewers and organizations hated it or gave it very poor reviews, although some others did like it. Surprisingly a lot of the criticism seemed to be aimed mostly at its creator, director Cecil B. DeMille. It did not win any of the end of the year film awards and only got one Oscar.
Fake 🤥 News 📰 Ancient Egypt was pure African people period I know people who visit the museums in Egypt and told me that the mummies were pure African people period the art and statues and writing language is of pure African people period I look online and noticed that the mummies were pure African people period not this Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin BS 💯 true facts 💯 facts truth
@@jdewitt77 There are brown 🟤 African people you're not an expert on African people Sit 🪑 down 👇 little girl read a book 📖 and educate yourself because you don't know what your talking about
Yes you're the theaters back then were real events to get involved in. The screens you see in so many movie movie theater sceens can fit in your living room.. l worked às an usher at the RKO Dyker movie theater in Brooklyn in the late sixties with all the Technicolor for these classic movies I always remember my mom crying at these movies go screens must have been at least 50+ feet long..those theaters for the most part beautiful. Those were the days
@@shanegrim5421 ...it was re-released around 65 or so....they showed it at a kids club in Lake Tahoe...along w the movie SHE...both were great in the theater ✌️✌️😁
I have seen this movie probably 30 times.I have been watching it since i was a child and channel 7 WABC would broadcast it every Easter Sunday. And this scene when Moses says,"Behold,His mighty hand."Still gives me chills. One of my favorite movies of all time.And the best telling of the Exodus...I went to see the recent Ridley Scott interpretation starring Christian Bale and was quite disappointed.
Yeah the parting of the Red Sea at the end really got me down too, I guess I shouldn't have expected the same exact scene as this but I guess they are trying to be as realistic as possible.
+Vincent Hannah I agree even after 46 years of watching it still gives me chills also, this is a family institution, for my family, remember watching as a family sitting on the floor, all the kids in our neighborhood would go home just as the movie started. we as little kids would keep checking the time, so as not to miss the beginning,, what a different world today
The Irony is? Ridley scott says he saw this as a child and wasn't impressed and it looked fake (and I call bullshit on that statement, even adults at the time thought this was amazing...to say nothing about the view through a child's eyes? cmon...don't sound so superior) thus he made his own version? and its nowhere near as good...60yrs later.
How can they make a movie so real to have the sea open up and for people to walk thru a divided sea?! Amazing movie and Mosses actor did a great part in his role! ... praise God and his son!! ❤❤❤❤❤
This movie will be a gem forever ! Last week it was broadcasting on the Channel TV (Arte France March 06th 2017) and it has beating record of audience (all channels reunited ), as well in Italy the same week ....This movie is Universal and no one can beat it (including the modern Hollywood)
Mandalore the Hunter Also fun fact he would a few decades later play the character of Bishop in the comedy classic “Caddyshack” and when he and Bill Murray are on the golf course during the storm they are playing the Ten Commandments theme!!
Long Range Rifle this did happen and God is real whether you want to believe it or not and no rameses he was blinded by his sin wanted revenge and hated them all
And that's how a true man of God stands with his people. Facing with them, towards God. The beginning of the downfall of the church. Was when the rabbis started facing towards the people.. Putting themselves between God and his people. The Catholic and Christians suffering the same separation from God.

I've always loved the subtlety of this special effect. Look closely, and you can see the dark clouds have been slowly creeping up together over the Red Sea for the first minute of this clip - and the sea itself has been slowly churning this whole time, gradually getting more and more unsettled, until Moses invokes the power of God. Truly amazing attention to detail!
I love how the sky and sea start churning even before Moses lifts his staff to part the sea. I know its a movie, but its like you can feel God's presence and the power building.
One of the finest special effects nd photography in Hollywood movies. What a starcast, direction, background music n editing. Truly classic n cut above.
I would venture to say, there has never been a better movie before or since that boasted such an amazing cast of actors and special effects all in one movie, that I am sure of
childof jesusrose I highly recommend you check out the Dreamworks animated film that is actually very adult with its visuals, themes, and messages called “The Prince of Egypt”. While this is a classic and has more characters including Dathan, Nefriteri, Baka etc. The Prince of Egypt has less characters, but devoted more time to developing them for example it shows the bond that Moses and Ramses had with each other as brothers and as much as both would like it to go back to that it cannot be. Also the voice of God is much more calming to listen to while the one in this film let’s just say definitely fits the personal of “Old Testament” God.
I went to see the movie when it premiered in 1956 when I was 6 years old. The special effects are campy compared to today but you have to remember the time. In my opinion the greatest movie of all time with the greatest cast of all time. Everyone was a star in their own right. Who better to play Moses but Charleton Heston. I can't say enough about this classic.
I love the character of the general. He was loyal, sadly on the wrong side.. btw there's a great scene with him and Moses earlier when he is exiled to the desert. Everyone should see this movie!
Henry Wilcoxon; great character actor & also co-producer of TTC under the great C.B. DeMille. No; they don't make pictures like that anymore.... Great times, great cast, great movie!!!!RMA
That's who it is, I couldn't think of his name, actor Henry Wilcoxon. Did anyone notice that when Yul Brynner was about to throw his spear when the pillar of fire appeared, the actor Henry Wilcoxon grabs Yul Brynner's arm and says" No Dathan you cannot breach the fire of God". He called him Dathan(Edward G.Robinson) instead of the name of the Pharoah's character Rameses. I notice it every time that I watch this clip.
My mother to us to a movie theatre to watch this is west haven ct in the 60s. My brother and I to this day. Remember the impact of this movie in our faith..
Pharaoh probably would have said this, if he would have survived. Wasn't he drowned with the rest of his army? Of course they needed to let him live to finish the movie!
First saw this movie when I was 10 that was 45 years ago, i still get chills today, if you get chills or tears of awe watching this clip that surely means you have the spirit of Jesus Christ alive inside your soul, all have a blessed Easter!
Only if you're a Jew, according to the Torah. If you're anything else, you are less than worthy, and He'll kill you and the rest of your kind off in a murderous rampage, which might be the reason Judaism has been widely resented around the world for such a long time.
I think this is the best movie EVER made!! I just watched it this last Saturday and every time I say I'll never make it to the end. And I do. And it's soo great!!
why do certain people feel the compulsion to drag politics and political figures into wonderful movies? Let's enjoy these wonderful scenes for what they are. Thank you for uploading Salvi528.
Part of it might be because the producers dragged politics into the movie. The "rule of law" is fine, but how does living among the Jews, which practiced slavery on others, and who stoned people for picking up sticks on the Sabbath or not having the right fringe on their garments, or for not being a virgin at the time of marriage, promote the "rule of law"?
@@shirtless6934 Your idea of rule of law is modern. Rule of law was very different in that time. You make an error by comparing the two and expecting similarity. EVERYONE practiced slavery, not just the Hebrews. Their rule of law was finally put in written form by Moses in what became the first 5 books of the Scriptures. It was God's law, much of which this modern society does not agree with. But it was a law that was needed until it was time for Jesus to come to earth.
What a year 1956 was for Yul Brynner. He wins the Oscar for playing the king in "The King and I." He plays the scheming Bounin in Ingrid's great comeback film, "Anastasia." And, he's a fine actor to overcome Cecil B. De
This was perhaps the greatest scene in the film I've seen it many times it was one of the greatest films ever I watched it in its entirety every year since I was 11 in 1971 it's my favourite movie of all time the entire cast was brilliant including Charlton Heston and Yule Brynner a true legendary picture with Paramount Pictures.
You are aware that there's a geological feature, a ridge across the Red Sea, and when the wind blows consistently from one direction, as it does in the spring, it blows the water mostly off that ridge and holds it back? So one CAN cross the Red Sea with about a foot of water obstructing you? It's nothing supernatural, but it makes for great special effects. And they have found the body of the Pharaoh Ramses son, he was killed by a blow on the head, probably inflicted by an Israelite while he was departing his chariot which was mired when the wind let down and the water came back. Even after all this time, yes, they can tell he wasn't drowned. The Scriptures aren't a good guide to either history or truth, and I can verify this statement. I don't think they're a great guide to morality, either, but that's more along the lines of an opinion.
What a almighty GOD , we served ♥️ the angels bow before him Heaven and earth adored them. He is Jehovah Jireh Jehovah Jireh, my provider Jehovah Shalom, my peace Jehovah Tsidkenu, my righteousness ♥️🙏🏿♥️☀️
"After this day you will see his chariots no more." "Yes, you'll be dead under them!" "The Lord of Hosts will do battle for us. Behold His mighty Hand!!!!!" Great is the power of our God. He is El Shaddai, God Almighty!!!!!
Most people haven't seen it in a theater. That's how you see how terrific the effects of that time were. Practical effects including matt painting. Magnificent!!! NO doubt about it. And, of course, without Charlton Heston it wouldn't have worked at all.
The Lord will do battle for us! Behold His Mighty Hand! Showing He loved us so much that He gave us His ONLY Son to die for us when we were yet Sinners! Much love to all.
Not only the special effects but the acting and the actors were some of the greatest in Hollywood history. that scene of Charlton Heston standing on the rock what the Dark Skies behind him with his arms outstretched as the greatest scene in Hollywood history in my opinion
I remember watching this as a kid (I'm 23 now), every time this scene came on, I would run into the Kitchen, grab a broom and imitate what Moses(Charlton Heston) was doing. I wonder if there are any other people my age that did the same thing lol. Great movie, forever will be a timeless classic.
