After a couple years of Anatomy of a Failure, we've covered quite a few cinematic stinkers from The Lone Ranger to Charlie's Angels to Disney's Artemis Fowl. But today we might have found our ultimate competitor: Gods of Egypt. What separates this movie from all others is that -- aside from just being bad and losing a bunch of money -- it seems to be of a perfect showcase of Hollywood studio filmmaking. Apparently it has credited writers and a director but the real filmmaker behind it seems to be the studio. All the major mistakes Hollywood studios makes while interfering in projects like Fantastic Four and so on, Gods of Egypt features. It's like the ultimate how-to guide to making a trash Hollywood studio movie destined to become a bad box office flop. And so let's use that guide to see what not to do!

Artemis Fowl (2020)
Disney’s “Artemis Fowl,” based on the beloved book by Eoin Colfer, is a fantastical, spellbinding adventure that follows the journey of 12-year-old genius Artemis Fowl, a descendant of a long line of criminal masterminds, as he seeks to find his father who has mysteriously disappeared. With the help of his loyal protector Butler, Artemis sets out to find him, and in doing so uncovers an ancient, underground civilization-the amazingly advanced world of fairies.

Personally I feel like the director made this movie either with inspiration from how a narrative action game develops or had the intention of turning this movie into a video game; where all the extra items they had to get were side quests.
Did the director not understand the meaning of the term "side quest"?
They look more like Romans rather then Egyptians

Thats the classic Grogyptalonian trait. Mash all of ancient history into one lump. Ignore timelines, context, and any historical facts, while focusing on famous names... and boobs.

@@gamerstheater1187 are you slow?
In Egyptian mythology the Egyptian gods and goddesses have/ are depicted with gold skin. But I would have almost the whole cast being people of colour rather then all the main characters being white, but this is if I wrote the movie.
Looks like a mishmash of '300', 'Prince of Persia', 'Exodus: Gods and Kings', and 'Clash of the Titans' all got blended in a toilet bowl.
That got doused in bleach
And that's probably not accidental, like that's the point.

“A terrible film, but a beautiful screensaver.”
Sounds about right.
Not even a good screensaver, it makes me want to puke every time I remember this movie exists.
@@NcrXnbi Agreed. One of the worst films of 2016. And let's not forget 2016 was a pretty bad year for films. I mean, yeah, we got some good films(Moana, Zootopia, Central Intelligence etc), but for the most part... ouch.

Gods of Egypt 2: Resurrection of Set is a 2021 film based on Egyptian, Greek, Norse, and other Mythologies. It crosses over many mythological pantheons.
Zack snyder in a nutshell
I absolutely love how Nikolaj is always referred to as Jamie Lannister in almost every video essay on a movie he’s in. Seriously talented actor with some really great movies (Shot Caller) but always referred to his Lannister heritage. Long live the Kingslayer.
I named my Russian tortoise after him because he's so good - no joke. 🐢
I love how you refer to the main characters as ‘Jaime Lannister’ and ‘Henry Turner’. At least these two characters were a little memorable.
Apparently being a God just means you're taller than most people, sure thing

Well, to be fair that's what aztecs probably thought when they saw vikings for the first time, and again when meeting the spaniards.
suniis OI SHIIIII GUYS WE HAVE A GRAMMAR POLICE HEREEEEE
@@thesexybatman263 The Aztecs never met the vikings, as the Aztec culture didn't even exist then. The vikings also landed in Newfoundland, not central America

I teach screenwriting at a community college, and we dissected this video as we discussed story structure and characterization. The students determined that all of their screenplays for the year should include a climactic third-act appearance by the space worm.
Why? HAHA
I hope you failed them all lmao
@@ianleguizamon Why the space worm? Or why dissect this video? Either way, I think the answer was because it was hilarious.
Every movie needs a giant space worm or giant world ending beam of light to have tension and urgency. /s
@@DarknessIsThePath I think they were joking >w
I remember watching this movie and thinking, "who put all these Romans in my Egypt movie?" My second thought was that it seemed like someone wrote a big Egyptian mythology fanfiction (but they didn't pay attention in mythology class and instead used video games as their source).
Out of curiosity, what race/ethnicity did you want them to be?
@@supernova5293 I'm sure they wanted everyone to be black. LOL.
@@supernova5293 African maybe?
@@TheHowlingEye ‘African’ isn’t a race. If you mean “black”, then you should know Egypt was never a black nation.
the actors they picked are awesome in their roles, but if you're doing a story SPECIFICALLY set in one region of the world and you're literally rooting around in their ancient customs it might be a good idea for the actors you cast to look like they come from that area.
So who would you cast then?
lol you mean egyptian actors? you think they speak english well? some movies of hollywood are for global audience and english and hollywood actors are known worldwide. you should choose native actors if you are making some historical movie but when this movie itself take too much freedom and story is like more ancient than real egyptian civilization then its ok.
@@shakplay3992 there are arab and sepcifically egyptian people who live and/or were born in the US my dude
Egypt was a melting pot. Light skin types seem to be the minority with the evidence we have but Europeans for example are the global minority. Also I've always found it funny how people forget that Egypt is right across from Europe. And guess who held onto the most history from ancient Egypt ? Southern Europe. People and cultures migrate through over time. Euro Americans for example. But I agree too many white people. And no blue or green people
and the same people who complain about skin color in gods of egypt would praise black vikings ... SMH
The worst part of the movie was the excellent actors who delivered great performances in every scene, making the movie just compelling enough to sit through despite disappointment after disappointment. It kind of feels like the CGI and action scenes were filmed before the script was written.
İndeed. Most were great in some scenes where they had a window of opportunity to act. Those scenes were like eating sweet sour dishes first time, on an empty stomach. Like what the ... did I ingest/saw? There were moments I loved every character (haven't seen much of Isis and very few from Osiris so beside them. Even Seth's wife sitting there was a good act. But then wings...... Aaaanyways)
What script? Everything revolved around the CGI scenes. I think Michael Bay directed this movie and wrote the "script".
I think most of them only knew their part (which is the case for most movies) instead of the whole plot because trust me, they probably didn't sign up for that.
Probably because Hollywood writers stopped doing anything approaching the quality of the CGI, actors, wardrobe, and every other department in their industry.
That’s how they get you. Great actors and casting can sell and otherwise awful script, and giving the more passive watchers some cool visuals to look at can sell a movie a lot of the time. That’s how movies like the Tranformers series do as well as they do.
The one thing I like about this movie is that it wasn't yet ANOTHER egyptian mythology themed movie where Anubis was the bad guy.
In American gods, Anubis is not the bad guy , so that's pretty cool
@@azuki_O most american movies I know of portray him as a bad guy so it's always nice when you find an exception to that trend. Can't say I've heard of that movie though
@@moondar841 not a movie a television series
@@zenituragaming5043 eh, about the same thing really. TV series tend to be a little more accurate.
Yugioh: Pyramid of Light showed us a completely different take on Anubis as the villain, so at least it was refreshing.
The worst part of the movie to me is that every character get a “too good” ending. Beck could have sacrifice himself and died and that would make the ending slightly better
It’s funny that all the Egyptian art in the film depicts dark skinned people, but majority of the cast.
It actually depends on the era. Egypt had multi toned rulars throughout history. It pretty much stayed in the lighter range after Rome though
Mind you I say lighter I never said Caucasian
@@xironevarus576 the cast looks nothing like Egyptians
I don't think I saw a single NorthEast African in the entire film ahaha
As an extra in this film (Set soldier) even we could tell it was going to be a stinker XD

youre tearing me apart Lisa!!!
This movie had so much potential. There are so many myths from around the world that either never get films made about them or get a horrible adaptation
I actually watched this two months ago. The Snyder Cut was four bloody hours and even that felt quicker than this film.
The accurate thing they got was anubis, since the dude in mythology is actually just a dogman doing his job. (he also work with his daughter which he loves dearly)
Anubis and Hades both get the short end of the stick when it comes to Hollywood representation. The only Gods who stay out of everybody's else's shit and they get portrayed as the BBEG.
@@thewhompingwampa2671 which makes me think it'd make a great movie plot:
A bunch of heroes gear up and collect McGuffins to go fight Anubis/Hades but when they arrive Anubis/Hades is like "wtf? get outta here and let me do my job!". Then a plot twist where they realize they should be fighting whoever sent them to Anubis/Hades in the first place - and that somebody took control over their own land in the meantime. Our heroes travel back, big fight, sequel bait, roll credits
@@glebbokhan9777 They get back and go "tf, the dog guy was just some dude", and the guy who sent them goes "must've been fake news, sorry bois mb" and the protagonist makes a post-modern speech on the importance of fact checking your sources in todays modern age of tablet carvings
Anubis is actually a Greek word and he is half jackal/man. So basically, a jackman. Wait? Would Wolverine have saved this movie?!?!?!?
Actually, in mythology, they’re not dog men hybrids. The drawings represent both aspects of the gods. Anubis can be a man or a jackal. He’s not a Jackal Man. He can take either form. The image then portrays that.

Thanks, I'll take the alien invasion insted. At least then something interesting will actually happen.
I just actually google-checked if this was true. Thank god it wasn't.
I'm so happy to see that I'm not alone in saying I honestly enjoyed the shit out of this movie.
I understand what he is saying, but it didn't matter to me. The theme, the gods, the way they portrayed things in a non standard Egyptian mythology. It all worked for me. And with no real other movies in recent history to fill the "Egyptian God action movie" role, this movie was good enough for me and my wife to both enjoy quite a bit.
He just seems to be ridiculously nitpicking. For example, "they didn't show their powers at the start" like WHAT???
Exactly..This movie was good...Some movies dont hit right of the get go but years later people go back n watch n the profits are made..its like music,some music hit way after the initial release..people just like to hate n as we've seen he is nit picking n hating on the movie as it was the trend
Umm no this movie was garbage
Kiddo I feel bad for you
I love how filmento actually explains how to fail instead of pointing out its problems like other failure movies
This movie wasn’t good. But I enjoyed it honestly.
Yeah you know when i watched this movie i wasn't so wise to look at things like a compelling story character archs or logic really. I really enjoyed it for what it was but i was like 15 at that time.
So did I. How can it be worse than any of the Transformer films
Sometimes its ok to turn your brain off and just relax. I do hate shitty plot lines, but can still like a bad movie if it's visually entertaining. Hot girls help too.
Thank you
Honestly, I something wants to watch stupid movies. Without any deep plots, and just laugh at.

I just found out about this movie. And I looked up a clip from it to see what it was about. The dialogue alone was putting me to sleep, and it was only a six minute clip. So I praise you for taking the time to watch the entire movie. Can’t imagine how boring it must have been.

"Let's run through this entire movie from the first act to the third act, and touch on every bigger dumb studio choice made in it, as well as the negative effect they carry."
I'm surprised the video is somehow shorter than the movie.
Remember seeing an ad for it on the side of a bus, and i remember thinking, that is gonna be the most soulless piece of sheit movie of all time.
For me the worst was how non-divine the gods seemed. In a film called "Gods of Egypt". Horus is supposed to be the god of the heavens, but you never see him shooting lightning, raining, or using a tornado like a club. No god felt like a god. If they said they were just aliens, I would believe it. The only one who gave the presence of a god was Ra. He literally pulled the sun, using a boat, flying over a flat Earth, while fighting an eldritch abomination.
But they're kind of tall!! If that doesn't scream all-powerful gods I don't know what does!
That's modern day Abrahamic religions talking.
Gods weren't always all seeing, all powerful, all knowing. They were just people, but with mysterious extra powers. I agree they should have done more than battled in mech suits with swords. But I'm so glad they didn't start tossing mountains around. Imagine the clusterfuck if every god had some naturalistic power.
@@whynotdean8966 Somewhat true, but not exactly. While the idea of omniscience and omnipotence have evolved with modern religions, gods have always been extraordinarily powerful forces that dictated the flow of the natural world. After all, religion was often used to describe any natural phenomenon not understood by BCE technology, which was most. An earthquake, plague, or drought could and would all be attributed to the anger of a god. In fact, it's arguable that most mythology *was* a clusterfuck due to the constant infighting among deities. Just look at the Iliad, for example.
@@foosbabaganoosh1 Me being 6ft3 and moved to Italy: "Maybe I am a god?"
@Jonkathan P Obviously, they were gods. Divine influence is absolutely nothing compared to omnipotence.
imma be honest this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine

Thank you. I weirdly kinda like it haha
i know its a bad movie but I still enjoy it....and i dont know why!

So you are brainless
I actually remember watching this in cinema, and I thought its okay at the time because I don't really watch movies. But I dont really remember anything about it probably because I understood nothing. What I do remember though, was Chadwick Boseman doing multi-shadow clone jutsu in his introduction, and then answered some riddle by the Sphinx.
The worst part was how they butchered Egyptian pantheon lore
Yeah...this movie would've been better if it stayed true to the source material.
What made it worst for me is tge Egyptians wasn't even white. They didn't have any whites in Egypt
@@bluwasabi7635 "source material" we are talking about gods and stuff, where's the source material for that?
@@IchigoKurosakicool ...The lore? There are plenty of stories that detail the intricate relationships of the Gods in different periods of time during the golden days of Egypt, and not only this, but depictions of the afterlife and in what means it can reached; also, when Filmento says that the gods have no power in the afterlife that's technically not true, pharaohs (who were re-incarnations of Horus [since he was king of the Gods in the Ennead]) could decide the "cost" or "conditions" for the afterlife.
The name of this ancien civilization isn't even Egypt
"A thousand years of Peace! What have you accomplished?" Well, a thousand years of peace sounds like a major accomplishment to me! So why we wanna replace this guy?
Seth was the god of chaos. Pretty sure it is just who he was to hate anything status quo. Of course, afaik that's the actual mythology, not the movie.
because long term peace is stagnation without struggle what is your motivation to do better and do the next big thing? to create and invent? remember necessity is the mother of invention and if nothing bad is going on there really not much necessity to do anything but the bare minimum...might as well be a farm animal... just like long term warfare is detrimental to a society long term peace comes with its own ills...

My mother rented this when it came out as she would any other random movie of the week she’d find on Redbox at our local Piggly Wiggly, just to keep us entertained on Friday night. I watched it ONE time and yet every time I see one of the by-now hundreds of roast videos it’s garnered over the years in YT, I get a wash of dumb nostalgia 😭
Ah, to be young and easily entertained…
This movie is an insult to Egyptologists everywhere
It's an insult period 😂

This film is an insult to whoever paid to see it!...😁
I mean, just watching Filmento's roasting it cost me IQ points. Watching the whole movie will turn you into a Gumby! (The 10 other "Monty Python" obsessives who get the reference will smile. The rest of you will either scratch your head or say "this isn't a claymation movie!")....😝
THANK YOU!
The lack of respect of IRL Egyptian Lore it's disgusting in this movie.
Plus the attire, oh that attire makes me want to pull my hair out.
@@NcrXnbi Let's be fair, though - we obsess about what we obsess about, but this is HOLLYWOOD! They disrespect every epoch & historical period. Take "The Death of Stalin" - probably the most laugh-out-loud movie I've seen released recently. I'm an amateur historian & read a lot about WWII & the Cold War. You'd be shocked at how many of the laughs come the real life lunacy that got into the movie, but it certainly fudges about stuff that I think happened. Funny lines delivered well, but the insults tossed around - "Slim Hitler" (always gets a laugh!) & "Did Coco Chanel take a dump on your head?" just to name two - are anachronistic at best & kinda demeaning to the people who were done to death by him at worst.

Watching this reminded me of Disney's "Hercules". In that, Hades was angry at his brother for essentially the same reason Set was angry at Ra: no respect, being stuck with a horrible existence while his brother had a great one. Hades also recruited the Titans to destroy Olympus just like Set used the space worm. Likewise, Hercules is like Horus in that he really doesn't have any demonstrable flaw he needs to overcome. Hercules and Horus both get their immortal powers back by doing something "unselfish". Having said that, I actually liked "Gods of Egypt" more than "Hercules".
I remember both of their "personalities" well. Great casting! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This movie got a huge backlash for not casting Egyptian actors but after seeing the movie I think it safe to say that they dodged a 140 million $ worth bullet
Egyptians should be thanking the Gods of Egypt they didn't have to act in this trash movie
They white washed it! I 😷
I seriously doubt there's enough leading Egyptian actors in Hollywood to cast in the movie anyway, so I wouldn't blame them.
Sure thing, Hollywood is the benchmark of culture, it even funded the developement of Pyramids and Cleopatra went to go sees asking Hollywood producers for a role. Idiots of the white order.
@@berlinblast5736 😆😆😆
The "spaceworm fight" pissed me off because by even Egyptian mythology, it was Set himself who fought off said worm (Apophis) to allow Ra to bring the sun to us every day, which they completely left out in the film and could've actually brought depth to Set's character, but instead he's just... "bad guy because uh... bad guy."
what were you expecting honestly? you knew exactly what this movie was going to be like by just looking at anything related to it.
Actually is the only part of the movie that I liked. I've never thought that Hollywood will made a scene about the fight of the gods against Apophis
I can excuse the general shitty-ness but I draw the line at historical innacuracies
This feels more like the description of a really cool tech demo and design idea rather than an attempt at a properly interesting thing
I never thought *Raid: Shawdow Legends* had that much potential to become a movie 👍.

This movie is as mythologically accurate as Marvel's Thor.
Which is a real shame, because the story it seems to be based on, the _Contendings of Horus and Seth,_ is actually very good and could make a great movie if done properly.
Except MCU Thor was based on a comic book, this wasn't.
TBF they'd need to change the part where the victor is decided by jacking off over some lettuce.
@@ToaArcan Nah. Leave it in. that'd be great.
You actually dont know that. There used to be giant here on earth....they found the bones. Elongated skulls from pre-adamites maybe, annunaki, Draco or vrill reptillians. Our history is full of lies my friend. It could be more acurate than we think. but we dont know for sure
JD182 The giant skeletons are not real, that was a hoax, you could easily google it. Shamans in one culture(can’t remember which one) elongated their skulls to be closer to the gods. Draco Reptilians, or lizard people is just a ridiculous notion. Vril is a sci-fi thing involving a controllable form of energy.
This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. I never knew it was so hated. It's of one the few things my mom and I enjoyed watching together so I couldn't care any less if this is the worst movie of all time, I'll gladly rewatch it any time.
Considering how the same guys who wrote this film also wrote Morbius, I don't know if I would only say that it was only studio interference that contributed to Gods of Egypt failing, because both films shared similar failures and mistakes in filmmaking and writing. But then again, Morbius was done by Sony, so you do the math.

Terrible filming advice.
All Ancient Egypt fictional films always start with narration because they copy the 1999 The Mummy film.
I love the mummy 1 and 2.
Also, the Mummy (1999) A) showed its backstory instead of telling it and B) the exposition in the Mummy didn't begin with "There was Egypt, a prosperous kingdom...bla bla bla..." it started with "Oh, by the way, this priest is having an affair with the Pharaoh's wife. *Shocking* and then immediately went to "Yeah, they both killed the Pharaoh and the Priest was tortured and cursed."
The Mummy (1999) made the exposition interesting. You didn't hear a lot of boring background information. You saw an affair, a murder of a Pharaoh and how one of the love-birds was mummified.

The eternal question remains when will they make a movie about the myths of Mesopotamia
This movie sticks in my mind because it was the first movie that from the first trailer I saw I knew was going to be horrible and bomb but that I was extremely excited to see all the videos tearing it apart
So this movie is how I write my school essays? Erratic, stuffed with every idea I could think of, containing many digressions, and in the end pointless in the context of the total class. Still a C+ plus though; some kid didn't even do his paper.
When the cast looks like they should be in Rome NOT Egypt
Technically at one point there were just as many Romans in Egypt that Egyptians...

"How do you kill the desert?" Well, you get a planetologist to help you create a multi-generational plan of ecological transformation. Set up windtraps to gather what little moisture there is and fuel the growth of robust plantlife that can survive in low moisture environments, then build up on this.
Make sure you laden the process with spiritual significance. Otherwise, future generations will lose the motivation to continue.
This also works when trying to restore nuclear technology to barbarian worlds who have lost the relevant knowledge, but not the legends about it. It helps if you set up a Foundation of physical scientists with a very forward-looking view on their purpose, even starting them out compiling the sum of human knowledge in order to broaden their knowledge base.
That's cool
Like in Dune.

To be fair, the giant “space worm” is a nod to the actual mythology of Egypt
That is the Egyptian god of Chaos Apophis who tries every night to devour Ra and in doing so will bring the world back into chaos and his rule. He is basically like the titans of Greek mythology or the Jotnar of Norse. Arch rival of the gods
Thats why Ra is fighting him on his boat
And his inclusion in the movie actually does make sense from a mythological stand atleast
Wasn’t Aphophis a snake god, though? Like, why make it a space worm instead of, like, a space snake? Space snake would’ve been cooler.

In the original ancient Egyptian story, Set was helping Ra defaet Apophis, (demon snake) every day while his brother (Osiris) lived in Egyptian Paradise.
So Set grew jealous of Osiris and tedious of his pointless daily fights, so he challenged his father that caused him to be banished to the desert.
So Set seeked revenge and killed his brother, cut him to 14 pieces and scattered him across the lands, then Osiris' wife (Isis) patched her husband back so his soul can travel to the afterlife.
Enter Horus, who was just a young boy when his father was killed, he trained his whole life so he can avenge his father and protect Egypt from Set's tyranny.
Eventually Horus fights Set and wins but losing his eye in the process, and so Horus became the rightful King of Egypt. Osiris became king of the afterlife and the first to be mummified. Set was not killed in the battle but became very weakened and thus his reign was over.
What happened with Apophis then if Set stopped fighting him? Did Ra have to manage that all alone for the rest of time or was Apophis' threat stopped somehow?
@@lordhelmchen3154 Ra kept battling Apophis alone until someday, Ra took the form of a great cat (Mau), trickering the snake into letting his guard down since cats are usually afraid of snakes. So Ra took his chance and cut the demon's head off with a bronze knife.
@@DoctorSakr What an interesting turn of events. :D Thanks for the mythology trivia!
Actually, ancient mythologies don't have a fixed canon, for example this is the first time I've heard this version of the story. However, the most accurate version is this:
[PART 1]
Wesir (Osiris) is the king, having inherited the kingship from his ancestors in a lineage stretching back to the main creator of the world, Ra, the others being the Khemenyu (Ogdoad), Tem (Atum), Ptah, Amen (Amun), and Net (Neith). His queen is Aset (Isis), who, along with Wesir and his future murderer, Setekh (Set), is one of the children of the earth god Gebeb (Geb) and the sky goddess Nut.
Setekh's grievance is that Wesir had sex with Nebet-Hut (Nephthys), who is Setekh's consort and the fourth child of Gebeb and Nut. Setekh has an elaborate chest made to fit Wesir's exact measurements and then, at a banquet, declares that he will give the chest as a gift to whoever fits inside it. The guests, in turn, lie inside the coffin, but none fit inside except Wesir. When he lies down in the chest, Setekh slams the cover shut, seals it, and throws it into the Hapi (Nile). Setekh then has Wesir's body cut into forty-two pieces and scatteres them across Kemet (Egypt), each piece being equated with a sepat (nome). With one of Wesir's pieces inside, the chest floats out into the sea, arriving at the city of Gebal (Byblos), where a tree grows around it. The king of Gebal has the tree cut down and made into a pillar for his palace, still with the chest inside.
Wesir's death is followed by an interregnum. Meanwhile, Aset searches for her husband's body with the aid of Nebet-Hut. Having found the chest, she leaves the tree in Gebal, where it becomes an object of worship for the locals. She, however, learns about the dismemberment when she opens the chest. Aset then finds each piece of her husband's body, with the exception of the penis, which she has to reconstruct with magic, because the original was eaten by fish in the river. The goddesses restore Wesir's body with the help of other deities, including Djehuti (Thoth), a deity credited with great magical and healing powers, and Inepu (Anubis), the god of embalming and funerary rites. Wesir becomes the first mummy, and the gods' efforts to restore his body are the basis for embalming practices, which sought to prevent and reverse the decay that follows death. Once Wesir is made whole, Aset conceives his son and rightful heir, Hor (Horus). Wesir's revival is however not permanent, and after this he becomes the ruler of the Duat, the distant and mysterious realm of the dead.
The pregnant Aset hides from Setekh, to whom the unborn child is a threat, in a thicket of papyrus in the delta of the Hapi. This place is called Akh-bit (Khemmis) and it is near the city of Per-Wadjet (Buto). After this Aset travels in the wider world. She moves among ordinary humans who are unaware of her identity, and she even appeals to these people for help. She also has the aid of other deities, who protect her son in her absence. During this time, Hor is beset by a number of dangers, like when he's bitten by a snake. These hostile creatures are agents of Setekh.
[PART 2]
After growing up, Hor challenges Setekh for the throne. The contest between them is a legal judgment before the Pesedjet (Ennead), an assembled group of nine deities, to decide who should inherit the kingship. The judges in this trial are Gebeb, who, as the father of Wesir and Setekh, held the throne before they did, and the creator god Ra, the originator of kingship.
The divine struggle involves many episodes. The two gods appeal to various other deities to arbitrate the dispute and competing in different types of contests, such as racing in boats or fighting each other in the form of hippopotami, to determine a victor. Hor repeatedly defeats Setekh and is supported by most of the other deities. Yet the dispute drags on for eighty years, largely because one of the judges, the creator god, favors Setekh. The conflict then escalates as a great battle involving the two deities' assembled followers. The strife in the divine realm extends beyond the two combatants. At one point Aset attempts to harpoon Setekh as he is locked in combat with her son, but she strikes Hor instead, who then cuts off her head in a fit of rage. Djehuti replaces Aset's head with that of a cow.
In a key episode in the conflict, Setekh sexually abuses Hor. The sexual encounter begins when Setekh asks to have sex with Hor, who agrees on the condition that Setekh will give Hor some of his strength. Hor thwarts Setekh by catching Setekh's semen in his hands. Aset retaliates by putting Hor's semen on lettuce-leaves that Setekh eats. Setekh's defeat becomes apparent when this semen appears on his forehead as a golden disk. He has been impregnated with his rival's seed and as a result "gives birth" to the disk. Djehuti takes the disk and places it on his own head.
Another important episode concerns mutilations that the combatants inflict upon each other: Hor steals Setekh's testicles and Setekh tears out one of Hor's eyes. The removal of the Wedjat (Eye of Horus) is important, for one of Hor's major roles is as a sky deity, and for this reason his right eye was said to be the sun and his left eye the moon. Aset, Djehuti, and Hut-Hor (Hathor) retrieve it for him. The restoration of Hor's eye is accompanied by the restoration of Setekh's testicles, so that both gods are made whole near the conclusion of their feud.
In the end Gebeb, as judge, apportions the realm between the claimants: Hor receives the fertile lands around the Hapi, the earth, and Shema (Upper Egypt); while Setekh receives the barren desert, the sky, and Mehu (Lower Egypt). Gebeb however reverses himself, awarding sole control to Hor. In this peaceable union, Hor and Setekh are reconciled, and the dualities that they represent have been resolved into a united whole. Through this resolution, order is restored after the tumultuous conflict.
With great celebration among the gods, Hor takes the throne, and Kemet at last has a rightful king. The divine decision that Setekh is in the wrong corrects the injustice created by Wesir's murder and completes the process of his restoration after death. Setekh is also made to carry Wesir's body to its tomb as part of his punishment. The new king performs funerary rites for his father and gives food offerings to sustain him: only through these acts can Wesir be fully enlivened in the afterlife and take his place as king of the dead, paralleling his son's role as king of the living.
I went into this critique thinking I remembered this movie. Not a single scene I recognized, but I know I saw this movie. Goes to show it's impact
It breaks my Heart seeing Glass beeing referenced as a "Movie with Problems".
I think this is actually one of Shamala... Shamlaya.. Shamayan... the Director of "the six sense" best movies. Especially when you watch it in a row with unbreakable and Split.
Studio interference has ruined so many movies. Just look at the DCEU movies and the most recent Star Wars movies. Reshoots just made the plots make less and less sense, resulted in worse acting performances (since they had to do all their scenes again), and resulted in poorly rushed CGI (Superman’s lip).
Edit: Of course the reshoots and behind-the-scenes issues weren’t the only thing to blame for failures, but they definitely added salt to the wound
Not to mention those movies lack a distinct vision and artistic talent behind it and feel like studio products to cash in on a brand
