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

Bella I found The Ten Commandments to be the most enjoyable film I have seen that was 4 hours long. It was a beautiful historic masterpiece on The Story of Moses. I was captivated by the magic of the cast, particularly Moses. His character was interesting and the acting was superb. I think I enjoyed his performance just as much as his performance in The Planet of The Apes, if not more. Even if you are unfamiliar with the story of Genesis, you will likely enjoy this film since it is so easy to follow and understand.

nafiura I have learned through the years to remit myself to facts. The Ten Commandments has been shown on ABC for almost 35 years .....most of the times beating all the other spectacles shown at the same time . It has become an Easter tradition . And this last year (2017) , it has been seen by 20 % more people than last year . The highest audience in the last seven years ! So .................what does this mean ? Just one thing ...........it is indisputably a movie people loves ........and there must be something to it for this to happen after more than 60 years....... Conclusion , who are we to judge works of art that have endured time ? We may like Ten Commandments better than other movies ,or not , just as we prefer some paintings or sculptures to others ..............but in the long run.............it is the public s acceptance ......and time who decide what is worthy or not. I think we should face reality.............something our opinions cannot change.

elvircorhodzic THE TEN COMMANDMENTS is a biblical epic film about human spirit and the freedom of a people, which is inspired by faith in their Maker. This is the biblical story of life of an adopted Egyptian prince and redeemer of the Jewish people from slavery. The film is based on the Book of Exodus. The film was DeMille's last work. It is a partial remake of his 1923 silent film of the same title.The director has tried to present a biblical story through a romantic, moving and visually expensive spectacle. The visual effects are really impressive. Given the duration of the film, it can be concluded that this is the most expensive film to date. Some scenes may be described as legendary. However, this spectacle can act too aggressively for less devout viewers. Given the fact that this drama lacks sincerity, especially in the second part of the film. Some of the special effects are overblown, given that they are signs of God's will.Nevertheless, I am delighted with the scenery and I think the costume is simply amazing.Charlton Heston as Moses is the embodiment of a heroic character that is honest and modest. I thought he was much better accustomed to the role of a young and capable Egyptian prince. His character possesses extraordinary strength of spirit. He is a very good choice for this role, which would later prove to be right in one film from year 1959.Anne Baxter as Nefretiri is a beautiful princess. She is something between the poisonous snake and lovelorn woman. Her appearances are too theatrical. Yul Brynner as Rameses II is quite a tough competitor. He is not presented as the villain. However, his character falls into the trap called the exaggerated melodrama.There are a number of different characters in this film. Edward G. Robinson (Dathan) as a treacherous overlord is the biggest villain in the film. Sir Cedric Hardwicke (Sethi) is a reasonable, good-natured and witty old Pharaoh. Yvonne De Carlo (Sephora) is a shepherdess, Moses's wife and probably the strongest female character in the film. Debra Pegat (Lilia) and John Derek (Joshua) are young Jewish slaves and loving couple who in the general plot are trying to preserve their love. Nina Foch (Bithiah) is an Egyptian princess who, out of love for the "son" who was brought up, joins the exodus. Judith Anderson (Memnet) is the designer of the main plot.This is not entirely credible and insightful drama, but it is certainly an exciting movie.
