moses sloew of speech

Hey J.Spiva,didn't the bible say Moses was slow of speech?Help me out here.

Moses with a speech impediment

More accurate than the Prince of Egypt but still falsely presenting Pharaoh as Ramses... doesn't anyone realize the Pharaoh obviously wasn't the firstborn of his father since he wasn't killed in the plague?! Also, Moses was a general of Pharaoh's army... not a blundering clutz with a speech impediment (stuttering) as they present him here. This movie exalts Aaron as the one constantly making Moses go on. We know Moses was reluctant at times, but on the mount, Moses begged God to kill him along with the rest of the nation rather than go on without them and Aaron is not there telling him to do it. Considering these limitations, they did the best they could from there and had most of the other details somewhat in line with scripture but I've seen better. This company has some other stories that are excellent but I find this one the fartherst from being an accurate protrayal.

Captivating Movie

Moses is among the best film that I have seen from the Bible collection. Among the others I have seen are Joseph, David, Abraham, Jacob and Samson and Delilah. Ben Kingsley plays Moses, a feat he performs with remarkable success. He plays the ordinary man who answers God's call to carry out enormous responsibilities. Watching this film is a spiritual journey illustrating God's love for his people. Best of all, the story in the film is very close to that in the Bible (unlike the more spectacular "Ten Commandments" by Cecil DeMille).

This is a compelling movie that illustrates vividly the challenges that Moses and a nation of people who followed him to the Promised Land had to endure. Moses, who stutters and occasionally blunders, initially feels inadequate and unequal to the enormity of his task and needed assistance from his brother Aaron. However, as the film develops, Moses grows not only in faith but also to be a confident leader who speaks with absolute authority as the Voice of God.

The production is excellent. The stage settings, costumes and portrayal of the realities of day-to-day living in those times are very impressive. The Biblical story of Exodus comes to life as one gets some appreciation of the challenges that Moses had leading the mass of people under constant threat of attack, hunger and without a home and who had doubts about the authenticity of the relationship between Moses and God.
There are many unforgettable moments in the movie such as the parting of the Red Sea and when Moses reaches the gates of the Promised Land, but cannot get there. However, the righteous and God fearing Moses accepts God's will.

My only minor criticism is that although it is estimated that up to two and half-million Israelites left Egypt during the time of the Exodus, one sees the largest group of people in the film numbering just over 70, due to budget constraints. However, this does little to dilute this great movie which is well worth watching.
