Save your money, ping!
No way will I waste money on this monstrosity.
I can’t get past “Batman.”
Sounds as blasphemous as I thought it would be.
I’ll see it and take it with a grain of salt. It looks entertaining.
“After The Passion of the Christ, the studio heads discovered there was a market for movies based on the Bible.”
The key here is holding true to what the Bible says and not making it into some mythical story that tries to draw in viewers with theatrics and change the Biblical truth. Passion of The Christ stayed true to the Bible, this film will follow Noah and be full of BS.
Have no desire to see the Godless view of the Bible!!
For that reason alone, I will avoid this movie like ebola.
Ping!
What is “BCE”?
The producers and writers of the 1956 film “Ten Commandments” took care to consult Bible scholars, both Jewish and Christian, before even attempting to make their film. The current group seems to be consulting doubters and nonbelievers, and then stretching the storyline as far as they could to make a great “popular epic”. The Biblical story is epic in and of itself. But they must tell their “truth” to the world, and not G_d’s.
I have read the commentary above and elsewhere about the contents of the movie. It seems the new Exodus movie has G_d appearing to Moses as a young boy rather than in a burning bush to command him to free Israel. The miracles are explained away as acts of nature. Moses confrontation with a fellow Hebrew, after killing an Egyptian who had been beating a fellow Hebrew the previous day, is twisted way out of context. My money will stay home, just as it did with the film about Noah.
There is such a large number of people in the general population that get their beliefs from the contents of what they see on TV and movies. After all isn't it true that every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.
There is a prevalent belief that if you're just good in a general sense you will be allowed into heaven. This too has been fostered on the general public through the media.
Of course Muslims believe that if your good deeds outweigh your bad by even one action, that you enter paradise. Of course they have a shortcut method also that includes killing or dying for their god in jihad.
There is such a great demand for Bible based films throughout the Jewish and Christian communities, but Hollywood as usual tries to tell it their way, and not G_d’s way.
BCE = Before the Common Era
BC = Before Christ
In terms of chronology, they are the same.
BCE is the way that atheists get to say a date without making reference to Christ
God, sorry, Gaia forbid we actual have a true history of the World!
Hollywood is NOT the friend of the faithful. Their purpose is to support The Glorious Cause Of World Socialism.
They do this through manipulation of the popular culture, up to and including the creation of overt propagana packaged as entertainment.
And they have succeeded.
I am all but certain an upstart film company could set up in a right to work state and produce blockbusters based on Bible stories. I can’t believe no one ha s done it.
I think Mel Gibson had this idea and his personal demons caused him too many problems to really continue.
Such a simple premise. No need to buy rights to a novel, it is public domain and the stories are already well told. All you have to do is adapt them faithfully to film. Exodus should have been the easiest to do . The other books of Moses would make great sequels.
Expecting Hollywood to make a decent biblical epic these days is like expecting a blind atheist to paint a Pieta.
BCE also works for those of the Jewish faith. As they view it, we are still in the BC period, as the Christ/Messiah is yet to come.
Unfortunately, and according to Mohammad, there is only room in Paradise for 72,000. The line must be as long for the Muslim Paradise as the makers of this movie hoped theirs would be ...
