Discrepanfication In The Film : The Prince Of Egypt

The film Prince of Egypt is unreliable when compared to the Biblical account of the Exodus. The 1998 DreamWorks retelling of the testimony of the Exodus remodels the story of Moses.

Nonetheless examples of the Motion picture’s theme are found in the Settings, Characters & Storyline changes. These changes lower the films credibility when compared to the Bible.

There is a place where not far from my hometown, which, since my childhood, still holds the secrets to life. It was a place where we were free. Free to do whatever we wanted to do, say whatever we wanted to say, it was our place, our river. It was a simple place, no paved or asphalt roads for the commotion of busy traffic, no tall buildings to block out the sunlight, no sense of time to feel rushed or anxious, no effects from the outside world. It was a beach on the coast of Lake Sakakawea called “Little Egypt.”

In conclusion, the movie, The Prince of Egypt, is a good introductory movie for someone who does not have a full understanding of the story of Moses. It provides the basic story line for Moses’ life although it does take liberties with some aspects of the story. The biblical story of Moses, found in Exodus, will give the viewer and reader a far better understanding of the life of Moses and the important role that he would play in the lives of the Hebrew people.

The Film, ‘The Prince of Egypt’ is a not a very accurate copy when compared to the story of exodus from the Bible. The 1998 Dreamworks production ‘The Prince of Egypt’ was created to follow the remarkable story of Moses, Leading his people from slavery but was changed by the directors to give it some originality. The setting, the characters and the storylines are some of the things that have been changed in the animated story. Therefore the Dreamworks Pictures film is inaccurate and does not flow along the same page as the Biblical story of Exodus.

The film, The Prince of Egypt, is inaccurate when compared to the biblical scriptures in Exodus. The Animation created in 1998 by DreamWorks Picture Production is about Moses and the Israelites.

The film ‘The Prince of Egypt’ is inaccurate when compared to the story of Exodus. The film was created in 1998 by DreamWorks Pictures and retells the story of Moses.

Mysteries of ancient Egypt attracted the attention of archeologists and ordinary people for many centuries. An enormous impact on the history of Egypt was religion, it shaped the everyday life of all the egyptians. They wanted an afterlife in Aaru, heaven. It was the ultimate goal. People 's lives were rotating around religion, and everything that was tangent to it.

His interest in the luxurious quality of fabrics can be seen in the painting, The Finding of Moses. According to biblical history, the event depicted in the painting happened in Egypt over three thousand years earlier than the painting was created, but Veronese placed the painting in northern Italy by placing the Alps and a Tyrolian town in the background. The people in the painting were modern for his time, a sixteenth-century princess, as well as her court. The basis of the painting is Moses’s mother hiding him when the Pharaoh is putting all of the first-born sons in Israel to death. The painting’s princess finds Moses in a basket in the river. Although baby Moses is the reason for the painting, the viewer’s eyes are lead to the face of the princess by the flowing colors and spiraling, twisting figures. Veronese leads the viewer’s eyes along various paths, but they always return to the face of the princess. The viewer’s eyes are drawn to her because “her light complexion is set off by the dark foliage behind her”. Some critics believe that the use of light is contradictory to the use of natural light that was admired by Renaissance

After analysing the movie the ‘’Prince of Egypt’’ and comparing it to the Biblical story of Exodus; I have discovered that the movie accurately depicts the Biblical account; except for having some cinematic effects to suit the movie’s theme. The ‘’Prince of Egypt’’ was released by DreamWorks Pictures in 1998. It is a story of God's people saved by a deliverer, Moses. The first aspect of the movie, the plot was unambiguously represented as compared to the Biblical story. Although there were some flaws, it captured the main essence of the story.

However, the staggering sagacity and the manifestation of Ma’at in such an overwhelming way in the life of a peasant seems to inaccurately represent the plight of a Middle Kingdom peasant. Additionally, just as is true in “The Story of Sinuhe,” “The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant” greatly slants the moral righteousness of the king for purpose of glorification, a typical Egyptian motif. “The Story of Sinuhe,” however, offers many more reliable representations of principles of social life in the Middle Kingdom. Through the documentation of Sinuhe’s life and travels throughout the lands surrounding Egypt two fundamental ideas of Egyptian life come to light, the concept that the king represents all importance in Egypt and the notion that being Egyptian is truly the pinnacle of existence. This tale also personifies the trait of a hatred of foreigners in Sinuhe as he constantly claims to have “killed the people in it by my strong arm, my bow, my maneuvers, and my advice” (59). While both of these stories offer information at face value about Middle Kingdom social life, an analysis of the rhetorical slants, inaccuracies, and propaganda used by these Egyptian authors provides valuable enlightenment as well.

The DreamWorks Pictures animation, 'The Prince of Egypt' created in 1998, is not an accurate biblical representation of the story of Moses in Exodus when examined carefully. The setting is erroneous as at the palace. Secondly, characters are altered in order to include the hero-villain scenario in the story which is ideal for the audience of the film. Then, the plot is different in many ways but is mostly similar. In other words ‘The Prince of Egypt’ is not a correct interpretation of the story of Exodus and Moses.

The analyzed source document entitled The Accounts of The Arab Conquest of Egypt, 642, was written around the tenth century by Sawirus ibn al-Muqaffa, a Coptic Bishop located in al-Ashmunein in upper Egypt. The piece recounts a dream by Roman Emperor Heraclius (c. 575-641), the movement and eventual occupation of the Muslim army in Egypt, the battles fought, the posture of Islam with regard to the predominant Christian presence, the conquest of Alexandria and, the subsequent outcomes. The compilation and timeline of events in the Coptic piece provide the historical community a record to compare and contrast to other records. The context shows how the occupation of Egypt unfolded, who were the major influences –both religious and official – and attempts to demonstrate humanity and respect levels in times of war beyond the face of the battles.
