The Prince of Egypt is a 1998 animated film produced by DreamWorks, directed by Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner, Simon Wells, and voiced by Fang Kimmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer, sandra Bullock, and others.
The film tells the story of Pharaoh who ordered the drowning of all Hebrew baby boys, and the lucky Moses led all the Israelites across the Red Sea to the other side of the sea to live freely.
Many years ago, the Egyptian pharaoh ordered that all Hebrew baby boys be drowned. A desperate mother put her son in a basket and drifted away. The child was picked up by the queen of Egypt and raised as an Egyptian prince named Moses. He grew up happily with his brother Remance. When Moses learned of his origins, everything changed.
Moses, a child of the Hebrews, was put into the Nile by his mother in a bamboo basket to escape the Egyptians, and although the Nile was full of dangers, there was always a glimmer of hope for survival. Fortunately, Moses was picked up by the Egyptian queen and began a life as an Egyptian prince, which then laid the foundation for Moses' tragic fate. The Egyptian pharaoh originally had a son, and because of his similar personality to Moses, he grew up and lived day and night, and the two formed a deep brotherhood.
By chance, Moses met his biological sister, and although Moses had left them as a young man, when his sister sang again the lullaby that had echoed in the ears of young Moses, Moses realized that he was not an Egyptian prince, but a member of the Hebrews who were being enslaved by the Egyptians. Suddenly learning his true identity, Moses was at a loss, and at the prompting of his sister, he learned the truth of the matter from the Egyptian pharaoh, whom he called his father, which originated from a struggle between Egypt and the Hebrews. In order to prevent an overseer from cruelly treating an old Hebrew man, Moses killed him by mistake. This was made worse for moses, who was originally distraught, and the young Moses felt that he could no longer face the "father king" who had raised him, and at the same time could not face the Suffering Hebrew people, so he chose to escape and walked alone to the depths of the desert.
Once again, the god of luck descended upon Moses, who found a large family deep in the desert, where he experienced the happiness of being a free man and found the other half of his life. At the call of the Hebrew god, in order to set the Hebrew people free again, he returned to Egypt with his young wife. After returning to Egypt, he was welcomed by his brother, the current Egyptian pharaoh, and with the star of the sun and moon, the Egyptian pharaoh, absolved Moses of all his previous faults and warmly welcomed the return of his brother. But when Moses stated the purpose of his visit, he not only did not accede to his demands, but also deliberately increased the enslavement of the Hebrews. Moses had to use his staff to demonstrate the terrible power of the Hebrew god, but Pharaoh always disagreed with him taking the Hebrews away. It was not until his own son was taken of his life that he allowed Moses to take the Hebrews away. Although Moses was deeply saddened by the loss of his brother's own son, he had no choice but to free the millions of Hebrews.
Just as Moses was leading his people to the Shores of the Red Sea, he found that Pharaoh had betrayed his faith and led the Egyptian army to exterminate the unarmed Hebrews. In a critical moment, Moses once again wielded the staff in his hand and used the power of God to create a miracle of dividing the Red Sea, and the Hebrews crossed the Red Sea to open up a new life, and Pharaoh paid a heavy price for his stubbornness. When the dawn of dawn shone on Mount Sinai, old Moses stood firmly at the top of the hill, holding in his hand two stone slabs inscribed with words, which all Jews knew—the Ten Commandments.
