It drives me crazy when Hollywood changes and misinterprets the Bible but it doesn’t surprise me. There was a lot of symbolism that interested me though. God as an angry, pouting child was one of them. His name “Malak” is semitic for angel. Moses being buried and stuck in the mud when he first meets “God”. Moses constantly arguing with God and not humbling himself. Why was “God” serving tea to Moses? The black square stones Malak/God built little pyramids with, one was 2D and the second one was 3D, plus the fact he destroyed one by knocking them over. The egyptian sword Moses always had with him instead of a staff. There were a few times when Moses and Ramses were shown side by side and Ramses was always in white, as well as his chariot and horses and Moses was in black as well as his chariot and horses. I found that Ramses was portrayed as a more sympathetic character than God was and Moses was closer to Ramses than to God. The movie had a Man centred theme to me rather than a God theme and I felt that Moses didn’t rely on God much. The character Nun, gave Moses a cord. I looked it up and the cord may trace back to the Kabbalah. The name Nun, is the name of Joshua’s father but it is also the fourteenth letter in the semitic languages and may have been derived from an egyptian hieroglyph of a snake. There was plenty of snake symbolism in the film. The end of the movie really bugged me because Moses was carving the Ten Commandments into the stone instead of God. “God” was making tea and asking Moses what he thought of His Commandments. Seriously? Those are the parts that really have me curious. Maybe you have some opinions on what some of the symbolism means. If only I knew a part of what Walter Veith does about symbolism!
