- EXODUS: GODS & KINGS -
WHY IT SHOULDN'T BE REGARDED MORE THAN ITS ENTERTAINMENT VALUE
As I settled to watch Ridley Scott's cinematic rendition of a biblical myth titled Exodus: Gods & Kings a fog of dismay encroached on my jolly mood as the epic-movie progressed on. It was as a mind liberated off religious falsehood wrestling with yet another instrument of propaganda, it got to a stage I couldn't bear the whole misinformation and just had to excuse myself. Two Islam-dominated African countries banned the theatrical viewing of the movie over what they deem as offensive to their faith which is the depiction of prophet Moses (Musa in Islam) interacting with Yahweh (Allah) as represented as a male adolescent.
To start with - if the Jews, as the movie implies was responsible for the laborious construction of those great monuments and pyramids
in ancient Egypt as has been portrayed in Hollywood flicks such as the
mishmash 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter', the question is why isn't it much referenced (if not detailed) in the Christian Bible or Torah ?
