Synopsis:
Preface:
You know when I started probing around and asking people I work with or classmates whether or not they going to see "Exodus" and they shot me a weird look and replied, "No, what's Exabus?"
"No, Exodus."
"Yeah, I dunnowhatthatis."
"You've never heard of that story before? Moses? Let my people go? Parting of the Red Sea?"
"Nope."
"... God damn it."
So instead of doing what I was originally going to post, (which was: Oh don't pretend you don't, you.
*winky face*) I'll have to actually type up some sort of synopsis to one of the oldest stories of man. You guys are lucky I didn't do Noah's OT which could've easily been "Bible version of Flood story". Anyways, I present to you all a sloppily written synopsis of the movie, which is, quite frankly, what most of us here deserve.-Christian
Synopsis: After finding out about his secret heritage and realizing he's no more Egyptian than Christian Bale, Moses (portrayed by the soft-spoken and gentle Christian Bale) escapes the nation enslaving his people. Years later he returns to retaliate against his former brother (Joel Eagertown), King Raaaaaaaamseeeees (the man in gauze), although he's not alone. Moses teams up with God (who is NOT Bale? Way to break tradition, Ridley), the Lord of the Hebrews who forsakes foreskin, to smite the shit outta Egypt with all his ...wonders
The Exodus is a story that has been the cornerstone of a faith to millions, so let's try to be a little more sensitive to other members on here (they're not posting, but I know you guys exist) when there are bigger issues involved*:
The White Elephant in the Room
One of you was going to post it eventually and jump-start that discussion. Just beating you to the punch.
Trailers (I'm not putting up all the trailers, 'cause fuck that, you KNOW it at this point, plus the first trailer was the best one anyways:
