The Prince of Egypt Watch-Along

When you watched disney movies to learn english did you start off just not understanding? Did you actively try to figure out what was being said as you watched? Were you just a kid and didnt really care because disney still looked so good even if you didn't understand? a mix? I've been wondering about learning languages this way Ramses wasnt the pharaoh, this is based off a novel in the early 1900s The Exodus is said to have been around 1400BC. There is archeological evidence to support this. There is even chariot wheels and chariot bodies in the red sea from ancient Egyptian times (in the middle of it, along a connected path that runs from one side of the red sea to the other that would serve as a path if there was no water. The Exodus, contrary to what some people say, is highly evidential in archeology and inscriptions within egypt. In the aprx time of 1450ish BC there were a line of Pharoah that had a "mose" naming convention where that name was combined with other sounds. Thutmose ("born of Thoth"), Ahmose ("born of Ahm"), Ramose ("born of Ra"), Etc. In this case Thutmose' line is theorized to have been the pharoah, and maybe the pharaoh that killed the babies. In the Case of Moses, its just Moses, which means his name is simply "Son", with no Gods name after. The Egyptian princes were always sons of gods, and then Moses comes as a son of THE God As someone that believes this literally happened, it's important to note Moses is part of the grand story of the Old Testament and then Jesus in the NT, especially everything before Moses, and Jesus is descended from Aaron, Moses brother, which is the whole point. As for the plagues, particularly the first borns (which was not limit to children, bible doesnt even actually limit it to humans, it says all firstborn in Egypt, anyways...) It's also important to note that not only was it the same curse pharaoh sentenced the Hebrews too, acting and believing himself to be a god, but God, as its said earlier in the movie is the one that created the blind and the deaf, which you could say Pharoah was, and God has the right to decide when someone dies, in contrast to pharoah who is bestowing this authority upon himself and in doing so he curses his own Kingdom. A major theme of Exodus is that God has the authority to give and take life as he is the owner and creator of everything, and that Egypt had entirely fallen away with a leader so prideful he let all that happen. Obviously this could be 50 essays so thats what ill say lol

This was an awesome reaction. This movie is what made me join your patreon. I wanted to see the full reaction and it did not disappoint. All your questions and comments were valid and you're both sensible and funny. Looking forward to catch up with your other movie reaction videos. :)

Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" is a masterpiece. You should watch that.

Grew up Christian and saw this film for the first time like 25 years ago when I was 8 or some shit. Say what you will about the Bible, but the history, specifically the era of the Judges that follows the Exodus story is absolutely fascinating to me personally (1st and 2nd Samuel & Chronicles). I believe the first non-semitic historically corroborated figure from the Bible lies somewhere around the time of King David around 1000BC. Much of the subsequent history of the Hebrews is corroborated via Babylonian/Persia records. As with just about any story within the Bible, I try to view it in context of the paragraph, chapter, book, and catalog of affiliated stories/teachings. In a somewhat archetypal lens similar to The Iliad, Beowulf, or the like. I try to zoom out and see what this story could say universally about the human experience. A child of privilege learns of the real world and his fake reality falls apart. His shifting worldview infects his very perception and eventually his actions. He patiently explains God's will and is met with deafening silence or sheer refusal. His greatest obstacle is pride (please watch FMAB) or the human ego (that which he is knowledgeable of via personal experience) in the form of Ramses II (Ozymandias anyone?). He is forced to let go of his old life and accept his sinful nature. (sinful doesn't mean "bad" - and even if it isn't even directly paraphrased to mean "miss the mark" it still is a derivative that implies straying from the straight and narrow path laid out for us as a species by God (or whatever equivalent term you may corelate); which all humans are guilty of by nature... The following stories of the 10 commandments, golden calf, and idolatry contextualize the mythical nature of this tale.

It's pronounced "Rafe Fines" or... "Tom Riddle"

1:20:00 That's Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey if you're unaware...

I hate that I understand "hundo p" without hesitation

"Horse-drawn Ferraris" 😂😂😂

You stumbled upon a hidden gem. Goated soundtrack. Goated cast. A masterclass story that spans millenia. They don't make em like this anymore.

Time to watch Passion of the Christ 😂

Not sure if you've ever heard of the Jewish holiday "Passover" But it commemorates the night when the angel of death passed over the dwellings of the Hebrews in Egypt. And furthermore, for Christians, "The Last Supper" with Jesus and his Apostles was on a Passover dinner. Little religious trivia for you.

Loved this and I'm glad you got to it! You should definitely check out "The Making of..." the prince of Egypt. Its the DVD extras that are uploaded to youtube!

You definitely should've gone with Despicable Me. This one is really good but heavy.

Another great movie, and one of the historical greats of all time, telling this story, is of course, The Ten Commandments, by Cecil B. Demille, starring a young Charleton Heston and Yul Brynner. Not a musical, but does a great job of encompassing the story.

Love this story and reaction....Despicable Me would be great too :)

I used to watch this with my family as a kid, holy nostalgia! Such an amazing soundtrack and score. Thanks for the great time!

The cast in this movie is amazing! Val Kilmer, Sandra Bullock, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ralph Fiennes, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Martin Short, Steve Martin, James Avery and Helen Mirren. I remember watching this all the time when I was a kid.

pleading for Encanto and i'll try to keep my nerdblather to a minimum

Ralph Fiennes was Voldemort

I have so been hoping that you would do this movie!! Here is a live version of “Through Heaven’s Eyes” performed by Brian Stokes Mitchell who was sung the song as Jethro in the movie and a true legend https://youtu.be/envfTu3nDqU?is=HiJryc449OMYRKX2

If you ever want to see a goofy but catchy prequel, there's the musical "Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."

Prince of Egypt is on Netflix (US) too

RiP Whitney *Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey did a duet of the "There Can Be Miracles" that you'll want to enjoy :)

Happy Saturday! Animated movies have always been my favorite genre, with a special love for 'traditional' animation (meaning not ovetly CG).

The Story of Exodus is above all, a story of Freedom. From the ancient Hebrew Passover Prayer: "Let all God's children sit at His table, drink the wine of deliverance, and eat the bread of freedom: Freedom from bondage. And freedom from oppression, Freedom from hunger. And freedom from want, Freedom from hatred. And freedom from fear, Freedom to think. And freedom to speak, Freedom to learn. And freedom to love, Freedom to hope. And freedom to rejoice; Soon....in our day...Amen."

OMG. 😍 One of my absolute personal favorite films of all time! 🤓🥰😅 You've gone and delivered onto us something quite special to say the least so thank you E...just thank you!! 🙏😊😅 Here's to you hopefully getting a Letterboxd account down the line cause I'd personally love to see your written word about movies as much as i do seeing your reactions to all these films on here. 😅 Continue to take care of yourself E. 😉✌️😅

For some of the best animated films I recommend Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers. They are both Oscar nominated modern classics made in Ireland!

This is like one of those movies like, Treasure Planet, Atlantis: the Lost empire. The road to El Dorado. That are criminally underrated but some of the best animated movies of all time

Holy crap! I wasn't expecting this one. I remember watching this movie in the theater. I feel old now.
