Relative of mine is a firefighter. One of his first calls was to a "snowglobe fire". He was confused going in until he and the crew saw the damage. Little old lady was an avid collector of snowglobes and had them all over her living room, which of course faced the sun and was the room that ignited.

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.
if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.

underrated prince of egypt things
•how they handle the violence of the story. the dead guard moses threw off the scaffolding with only his hand shown. the children being ripped from weeping mothers’ arms. it’s enough to draw horror without being gratuitous.
•little ramses jumping up trying to see moses. just. how their relationship was portrayed. it would be so easy to see these deadly opponents and not buy into the idea that they love each other. but they did. and they do. and then it’s broken.
•tzipporah saying ‘i won’t be given to anyone! especially an arrogant palace brat!’ and later marrying moses of her own free will.
•moses sarcastically saying that ramses singlehandedly destroyed the greatest kingdom on earth, and it actually coming true.
•ramses chariot-racing moses in the intro and moses nearly ramming him to death, and ramses in the red sea being thrown off his broken chariot in his vengeance and bloodlust.
•moses returning to the palace in the dark and gently touching the same pillar, and finding ramses sitting in the same place he used to. ramses’ son standing in front of the mural of the killing of the children, something which affected moses so deeply, without even noticing it was there.
•how God is portrayed in this movie. the design is gorgeous and otherwordly and powerful. the sound design and the soundtrack grabs you. it is respectful to faith and twinged with the awe the presence of God creates.
•how Moses finds the burning bush by following a lost sheep. I love the allusions to other Biblical figures and tropes. I love me some Jesus prefigurement.
