Can we just admire how absolutely insane Prince of Egypt frames the plagues and the dichotomy between Moses and Ramses?
Tumblr media
During the song, Moses actively expresses sorrow over what he is doing— he didn’t want it to come to this, and he knows he has no choice in the matter— he doesn’t want to see his former home and what we’re once his people suffer for Ramses pride
Ramses, however, shows no care or concern for his people. All he cares about is keeping the Israelites in Egypt and under his rule, actively saying “No matter how high the cost may grow, This will still be so, I will never let your people go”
Tumblr media
And then the cost grew too high

Why The Prince of Egypt is an underrated genius film.
The Prince of Egypt has been praised for years mostly because of the story, the animation, and the fact that you don't have to be a Christian to love it.
However, this film is one of the most underrated genius films in movie history. Why? Because it pulled off something not many films can.
Those being....
1. Realizing their is innocent mixed in with guilt.
2. Having sympathy for the innocent that are mixed in with the guilty.
3. Not feeling like a terrible person for it.
Let me explain the best I can.
The film starts with the Hebrews suffering in their Egyptian bondage and crying out to their for deliverance. Then showing the Egyptians slater the Hebrew children. So not only are Egyptians abusing them, but also inflicted on them a pain that most couldn't do to their worst enemy. Yet, the Egyptian do and without remorse.
Later in the film, Moses returns to Rameses demanding the Hebrews free. However, because of Rameses's pride, he refuses igniting God's wrath on the Egyptians.
Now this is where the film shows it's true genius. The plague scene is without a doubt one of, if not the, most powerful scene in the film.
At first, the film gives the impression that the Egyptians are finally facing the consequences for their terrible treatment of the Hebrews. That we should be glad this is happening.
However that soon changes because of several moments in the scene.
The first time is when the plague of flies appears....
We see the Egyptians soldiers running and trying to get away, but if you look close at the beginning you notice something.
Rameses's son standing next to him, and then shows the small boy holding onto his father in fear...
Tumblr media
The second time is when the plague of frogs appears....
We see an Egyptian mother holding her small baby, to protect it from the nightmare and pain that is about to happen.
Tumblr media
The third time is when the plague of raining fire appears...
We see, once again, an Egyptian mother protecting her child as the child looks in terror at what he is seeing.
Tumblr media
The fourth time is when the plague of boils appears....
We see two Egyptians, a teen girl and male child, watch in horror as people scream in agony from excruciating boils.
Tumblr media
The last time is the plague of death appears...
We see many Egyptian children lose their lives, even Rameses own son, simply because they were the first born. Also those two Egyptian mothers are only protecting one child that means both of those children also died in the last plague.
Then once the angel of death is gone we hear every Egyptian cry in heartbreak and agony at the realization of their loss.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why are these moments so moving?
During these plagues which for the Egyptians is nothing but pain, suffering, and horror the film reminds you of something that being...
Just because a nation does wrong, doesn't mean the whole nation is guilty. Who was not guilty in this nation?
The children of Egypt...
The plagues of Egypt did not only effect Pharaoh and adult Egyptians. No, it was everyone in Egypt. That means that every Egyptian child went through...
Having no water for days because it was blood, had frogs invest everything they had, itch uncontrollable from lice, having flies cover them, having no food because of diseased animals, suffer in agony with infected boils, seeing fire/hail rain from the sky, lose all their food from locust, live in frightening darkness for days, and some even lost their lives.
The film also reminds you that its okay to feel bad for these children, because even Moses says they are innocent. He even breaks down because of Egypt's suffering.
The film reminds us that children shouldn't suffer because of the actions of adults and leaders of a country.
The film was able to remind us that having sympathy certain people in a nation doesn't always mean we support the whole nation.
That it's okay to realize that innocent shouldn't suffer with guilty just because they happen to be born on the wrong side.
Even reminding us that the pain of losing a child should not be suffered by anyone. Even the very people who once caused that pain on others. It's a pain you can only understand once you suffer it, and the Egyptians did, but it's still heart breaking.
The fact that this film pulled off such a hard thing is amazing. Prince of Egypt is without a doubt the most underrated animated film of all time. It's better than any Disney movie.
It's an underrated genius movie.

Daily Devotional: Exodus 7:1-7
Yahweh instructs Moses to tell Pharaoh all that He commands, and Aaron is Moses’s prophet—or mouth piece. Here, we see the job of a prophet. A prophet is the mouth piece of God. What the prophet says as a prophet is the word of God, not his own words. That is why the Old Testament issued the death penalty to Old Testament prophets who were incorrect in their predictions (Deuteronomy 18:20-22). In…

Revelation 8: Hail, Fire, and Blood
Though each perspective sees the fulfillment of these trumpets occurring in very different timeframes, there are certain overarching themes on which all four views agree. #Revelation8 #FireintheSky #HailFireBlood
Then the first [trumpet] sounded: and there came hail and fire having been mingled in blood then thrust into the earth; and the third of the earth was completely burned, and the third of the trees was completely burned and all the green grass was completely burned.

I know we all like to joke about tzfardei'a like "how can frogs be a plague? it's just a bunch of frogs!" But I think we're going about it the wrong way. So imagine, if you will, this:
You're at home when you find a frog. It's sitting in your living room. That's not so bad. You might even make a TikTok about it. What a silly little guy! But eventually it has to go, right? You don't want a pet frog. So you hold out your hand and the frog hops on and you take it outside. You stand up, go inside, close the door, turn around, and there's a frog.
Okay, that's weird. It must have just jumped through your legs when you stood up. But no worries. You hold out your hand and the frog hops on and you take it outside. You stand up, go inside, close the door, turn around.
There are two frogs.
Okay that's definitely weird. This time you don't try to pick them up. You just use your hands to gently push them out the door. You stand up, go inside, close the door, turn around, aaaaaand one of the frogs had peed on your floor. Great.
You go into the kitchen and open the cabinet under the sink. You reach in and pull out a cleaning spray. Sitting on the nozzle is another frog. Okay, what is going on?
You take the spray bottle outside and gently encourage the frog off. You stand up, go inside, close the door, turn around, and there's another frog. It's standing in the puddle of piss. It croaks at you. Okay, this is fine, you're fine. It's just a frog. You gently but firmly push the frog outside. You stand up, go inside—
There's seven frogs.
In frustration you spray the cleaning spray at one of the frogs. You didn't think it was that much, but the frog's eyes bulge and it croaks and hops around in circles. You watch, horrified, as it lands on its back and its legs stretch out and then it stops moving. The other frogs stare at you in silent judgment. Another one pees on your floor. You gently tap the overturned frog with the toe of your boot. It doesn't move, and it's starting to smell. You reach down and touch one of its feet. It doesn't respond. You go back to your kitchen and get your broom. You start to shoo the frogs out of the door. You get them all out. You close the door and, perhaps irrationally, lock it. You return the broom to the kitchen. There's a frog clinging to the handle. You shout and shake the broom and the frog flies off. It hits the floor with a wet thud and does not move. You pick the dead thing up by a foot and drop it in the trash can. It lands on 10 more frogs, sitting at the bottom, all peeing.
You go to your room and slam the door. Behind you you hear a croak. You turn, very very slowly, and look at your room. Every surface has at least one frog. They all just sit there, staring at you, peeing on your belongings. Several of them, implausibly, are already dead. Their overturned bodies create a stench you wonder how you could have missed. You don't even know what to do with this many frogs. Where do you begin? You go to the bathroom. There are frogs in your toilet. You spitefully go to flush it, but there's a frog clinging to the lever. You try to wash your face in the sink, but it's full of frogs. You leave the bathroom and feel something soft and small crunch beneath your foot...
Everything seems to freeze and you sense dozens of pairs of baleful black eyes turn toward you......
You feel something brush the back of your neck and you swat at it, but your hand meets empty air. You feel something wet and you look down at your hand to see a frog sticking to it, peeing. You shake it off and it lands on the floor, already dead. You trample several more frogs as you sprint to the kitchen. You throw open the fridge, crushing the frog on the handle against the wall, and pull out a brewski. You pop open the cap and raise the bottle. There's a frog already inside your brewski. You throw the bottle down and it shatters, sending tens of tiny frogs scattering every which way. You feel something on the back of your neck again, and again you swat and again hit nothing but air, but this time it's because the frog has already made it down your shirt. You shriek and shout and twist about and a frog jumps inside your mouth. It's one of the tiny ones, and when you talk about this with your therapist later you won't feel confident that you didn't swallow it.
The frogs are everywhere now. Your house is more frog than house. Your kitchen is more frog than kitchen. There are frogs on your fresh fruit, and frogs in your sink and frogs in your sourdough starter. Frogs stick to the ceiling and jump inside the extractor fan above the stove where they make a horrible slicing noise. This can't be happening. There aren't this many frogs in the world, probably! You hear a click and turn, horrified, to see your oven preheating. It's set to 700°. Does your oven even go that high? Inside there are crisp frogs, and frogs waiting to crisp. The smell is unbearable.
You wade through a sea of frogs: frogs piled up on top of other frogs, all shapes and sizes and colors and all peeing and dying and smelling. You burst through your front door and take a deep breath of the fresh, clean air. What you see makes your head spin.
A mass of frogs in the approximate shape of your car sits where you're pretty sure your car used to be. A thing that looks like a dog but made of frogs runs past, screaming. Your neighbor's house writhes under a coat of green and red and yellow. You don't even want to imagine what your neighbor looks like. Frogs inundate your herb garden. They're eating all your herbs. You feel them creeping up your shins, but you can no longer move. You fall to your knees, squashing more frogs as you do. The frogs are all croaking. It's so loud it makes your ears bleed. Their voices all blend together, becoming a persistant hum. And oh g-d. You think you can hear words.

this man invaded our house, ate from the fridge and stole my heart. Maybe this yiling laozu dude isn't so bad after all. Anyway, big thanks to @revanchxst for dragging me into this hole. It's been two weeks and I haven't know peace ever since.
