...I thought Moses WAS human.

[epluribus_2]

inner torment of his Moses

I suspect this movie was needed because of the inner torment the CBW/Hesten version gives to a lot of liberals...

[Bean Counter]

I read a review of this TV-Mini-Doc this morning, and by all accounts, this is another snorer.

Not to mantion the futility of trying to out-do Charlton Heston's Moses...

[Old Professer]

"Halmi's own interest in revisiting the story of the Exodus arose from his conviction that great stories need to be retold for new generations every 35 years or so."

I told you to paint the PORCH!!!

Yep - human, speech impediment, didn't feel up to the job and failed in several areas, which kept him from setting foot in the promised land, etc. God uses the most unlikely humans to do great works.

Heck, Gideon was cowering and arguing about being the wrong guy for the job, when God called him a "mighty warrior"; He did God's bidding, and great things happened.

I'll bet Muslim scholars had a lot to say about the scrip since they MUST be clueless about Moses being from a religion of LIES. Mad Mo totally distorts and perverts the Bible's stories.

...I thought Moses WAS human.

In this version he is "more human." He is a gay illegal alien in a wheel chair.

[Alouette]

Moses is plagued by self-doubt. He is virtually horrified to learn that God has selected him for such a formidable task, since he is painfully aware of his inner flaws.

This is the Biblically accurate version, according to Exodus 4

No outside corroboration for the myth of exodus. I know that will make no difference for the mythologically inclined. Flame on.

Adapted from a variety of religious novels, that earlier version introduced a number of extraneous characters and story lines to the biblical account...

OK, maybe the car chase scene was a bit of a stretch...

I hope Chuck Heston hunts down those responsible for this and............

.....no wait, I was confusing the 10 Commandments with El Cid......sorry.

[ZULU]

Those modern entertainment liberals just didn't like Charleton Heston becasue of his NRA and Republican connections.

If Moses was alive today, I DOUBT he would have been an anti-gunner OR a Democrap.

[FreedomCalls]

I'm still waiting for the Hollywood biopic of Mohammad. They could film him like they did Tim Taylor's neighbor from "Home Improvement."

[Grig]

Prince of Egypt was good, but this one sounds like they are trying more to undermine faith than build it. The faithless can not do movies like this because they just don't understand what they are talking about.

[antiRepublicrat]

I like the idea. DeMille really glossed over a lot. My simple reading of my Bible shows that Moses was indeed quite a flawed person. To me that makes it all the greater that he could lead his people to freedom. If he could do it, there's hope for the rest of us.

For the religious it has even greater meaning: If God can choose such a flawed person for greatness, then there is definitely hope for every man to do great good by God's will.
