Great movie, ping!
In its historical context, this was a Cold War message, but, like all the Big Questions, it is always timely.
But I like Tangled too. I think it's the best of the recent Disney animated features, better than Frozen.
Wonderful story.
In 2016 we are a far cry (some of it good) from the 1950’s but morally we are almost bankrupt.
The Ten Commandments were filmed when Israel was the David to the Arab Goliath. Israel was barely holding on at age 8.
The State of Israel was not branded a racist, imperialist Apartheid regime as today. It's all a lie anyway.
We can indeed compare the Arab (not just Paleostinian) demands on the state of Israel and the Jews of 1956.
They called Israel sitting on her 1956 borders as “occupying” Palestine. They called for Israel's annihilation. Zip forward to 2016 and post 1967. The Paleostinians and Arabs are STILL calling for Israel's destruction and leave “occupied” lands.
The world has change a lot since 1956. The message of DeMilles’ ten Commandments are timeless.
America has matured and moved on.
Israel has matured and moved on.
The entire world has changed and moved on but, alas, the Paleostinians have remained stuck in 1917, 1929, 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, 1991, 2005, 2016.
This is of their own choosing. They had a great opportunity in 1993 with the Oslo Peace Accords but, like Ramses, they heart's are hardened to make the Jews of Israel's lives bitter and deadly.
God bless you and your precious daughters!
You know, I don’t ever recall seeing the open monologue either.
Is it included on the DVD version then?
Wonderful movie for children and adults. With an hilarious performance by Edward G. Robinson.
I have it and yes it does.
The stylized delivery of the dialogue is...well, it’s a little corny and I think that’s what a lot of people like about this flick.
"I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille."
Hey, Mister DeMille, I’m ready for my close up.

I remember our entire little country grade school going to the local movie theater to watch this movie.
That’s one of my favorite films. When you were thinking about seeing the score, I was like, no, first the curtains, then C.B.D’s monologue...great post!
They could have caught something else in that movie-
that Rome changed the 10 Commandments.
Times and laws would change, according to Daniel 7- and darn if it wasn’t Rome that did it. Just like scripture said.
I was hoping that would have been what this movie helped teach them, but alas, no.
