Excellent, a Must See

Best movie ever!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is great inspiration,very expectant and allways a great teacher ....you.guys know it ..love the 10 commandments...young n l e !?,

No better bible movie to me. Cast is great, Effects are great, storytelling is great the Lost goes on

The epic retelling of the incredible Exodus from Egypt by the Hebrew Nation. The story of Passover. Wikipedia may be wrong about how many times this movie has aired. I seem to remember 2-night broadcasts as far back as circa 1970, always on ABC(?) It was "split" as Moses was cast into the dessert by Pharaoh. The real intermission occurs about 20 minutes later, as released. Several minor edits for TV include the infamous opening scene when a guard runs his sword through a first born Hebrew child. Some (apparently code objectionable) harsh language between Pharaoh and his betrothed is also cut, with reference to him treating her like property or an animal. Such edits are minor. Unintentionally funny in spots, with various English accents and catch-phrases. Often regarded as a work of fiction by many, every attempt was make to make it as historically accurate as possible, using biblical and rabbinical works as well. Thousands of extras. Lustfully done, with some slightly "salty" language and rather melodramatic staging and dialog. Attempts to successfully remake this classic have (usually) failed, due to the extremely vivid performances by the actors. Multiple well-deserved awards and a rousing musical score by Elmer Bernstein. Wonderful costumes, amazing sets, impossibly rich Technicolor, and stunning cinematography. The parting of the Red Sea was later "colorized" as bluer for re-release. In the original, it was more greenish. One of the most famous and effective optical special effects of all time. Also, still one of the top grossing films of all time at the time of its release. No animation studio is credited with its special effects, so it is assumed to have been all "in-house". Cecil B.DeMille's finest and final film, and he died soon after completing it. It cannot be truly appreciated on even a "giant" home screen or a typical multiplex. I saw it in the "60's" re-release in "Super-Panavison" in an old theater with a huge screen!

Here's the ritual every Easter Sunday at our house: "Well, TTC is on again. I bet I've seen it 15 times." "Not that old thing. Let's watch something else." "OK. (Other show) doesn't start yet so let's just watch a half hour." "OK." "Time for (other show)! "No! Don't change the channel!" (An hour later) "How about now?" "No!" (Two hours later) "How about now?" No!"And we watch again. And are completely swept into the magnificent, heartrending, hokey story every single time. Epic.
