I watched Exodus: God's and Kings for a second time on the weekend, and enjoyed it as much as the first time I watched it a couple of years ago when I was way further away as a believer. I recall it being mentioned on here before that it's crappy/anti christian/unbiblical etc, or whatever anons said, but honestly I couldn't find fault with it from that perspective. They had naturalistic explanations for most of the 10 things that happen to the Egyptian's when Rameses refuses to let the Hebrews go, though from the perspective of Moses and the slaves do not discount God's influemce, involvement or rationale for allowing /causing these things to happen. In addition to this he is still presented as being all powerful and responsible for the spooky supernatural killing of the all the first borns in the passover.
He also appeared as a little child for some reason (I figured this was literally done as a stylistic thing and to be cool and different, couldn't see there being any symbolism behind it but then I'm crappy at deducing that kind of stuff normally anyway) which was a bit odd but had zero impact on anything (hence why I think it was more a style thing them going 'hey wudnt it b cool if like God appeared in the form of a child? Lol'
The crossing of the red Sea was a miracle too.
The only thing that I could say about it being unchristian was when Moses and his wife are getting ready to do the deed after their marriage and the wife asks Moses a series of questions re: what's most important to him in his life, with him answering everything to the effect of 'you are' providing technical opportunity for romance to ensue. Moses doesn't have faith at this point so it would be strange to expect him to answer 'God' to any of these points, hwever the wife has faith but she doesn't seem to mind accepting Moses' prioritisation of her over God, oddly. And again at the end of the film when they're re-united, this time its Moses, who now has faith after everything hes been through, asks the questions and is happy to allow his wife's answers ('you are') to explicitly prioritise him over God, depaite him nw having faith and her used to having a faith to the wxtwnt that Moses' unbelief used to cause conflict/tension between the two. I get its just typical Hollywood romance style stuff, I actually found it very sweet and moving both times, but my point is is that you wouldn't think they would be comfortable answering those questions with anything other than 'God' if they each had proper faith and understood the weight of it and committed themselves to it, but they did, confusingly sendin the message out that it's OK to prioritise a romantic partner or spouse over God. I dunno, maybe they wouldn't have answered God irl, and are just being romantic as is appropriate for the situation, but if they truly had faith then I don't think either of them would have been comfortable going thru those lets-get-it-on initiation questions and just jarred a bit for me. It really was a nice moment of the film both times though.
Why is it considered crap from a Christian perspective? Thoughts?
