"The Ten Commandments" tells the story of Moses who was raised in the Pharaoh's house, and how he led the Hebrews to freedom from slavery. The polytheistic Egyptians were the protagonists in the film, compared to the monotheistic Hebrews who were the antagonists. The central thesis or argument of this film is that monotheism is good, and one should follow one god. The issues to be considered are how the film depicted religion during the times of Ancient Egypt, the religious beliefs and the role of the Pharaoh in the religion, and the use of slaves in the Ancient Egyptian society. This film was about the biblical figure of Moses and how he eventually leads the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt. I watched "The Ten Commandments" from 1956 for my film review.
