If you have not watched the movie, I would warn you to beware of spoilers. But I doubt I will be spoiling anything…
They say you should fear god. This means revering God such that we obey, respect and worship him. But this movie must have taken it a bit far. I was scared of this god.
When Moses goes to plead with him. He just grins as though he has a bigger plan in his mind… and mischievous plan. Even Moses is completely pissed and you couldn’t blame him.
Why does he have to appear as his son? That was scary! I watch horror movies which are much worse. However, this is a movie I was watching with my 10 year old cousin. And my mucho/grown up mojo I’ve been holding up disappeared with that one scene. That was messed up. It was as though that god had possessed the kid. It is not something you would expect.
“I want no part in this”
He is all knowing. And wise. But all the non-Hebrew children, just because… even the messenger was not convincing when he went to plead with Rameses. It is as though he wanted it to happen. Which god would do this?
So now, I wonder why none of the character doubted Moses’ state of mind. In the 21st century, it sounds hilarious to talk to a burning bush. And talking to a stone. He might be the One. But it kind of sounds like a cultish following of Moses in the name of God and salvation.
The god depicted seemed to not always be available. With leaving Moses hanging sometimes, and not coming for some of his unscheduled meeting.
What does it mean when He is portrayed as a child?
Those are just some of my thoughts… what do you think of the movie? What message do you think they were trying to bring out in the movie? Do you believe that it was an accurate depiction of God?
