I can watch this movie The Ten Commandments over and over, I've looked at it so many times already and each time it never gets old to me or I even get tired of looking at it! This is an awesome movie of the depiction of Moses in the bible! nyc ...
*LOVE* the Ethiopians' costumes! So rich! All the costumes are beautifully detailed! I think the green stone the King's sister bestows to Moses is malachite... Thanks for posting!!!
Well Ethiopia, these two Balck people represented as It's King and queen, was at one time in war with Egypt and lost. In consequence, Ethiopia had to pay tribute every year to Egypt in acknowledgement of who was "Boss!". Egypt at that time imposed that on all countries they "kicked they're Butts on".
Yes! They both were beautiful blk women! The Egyptians, Ethiopians, and the Hebrews were, and are still black! " Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?" Amos 9:8
Woody Stroud as the King of Ethiopia. He was the man back in the day. A real pioneer of Black actors in Hollywood. I salute you all the roles you took to pave the way.
Agreed, I always loved Woody Strode as an actor. I believe he appears later in the film as one of Bithias litter bearers. Also Anne Baxter was right to be jealous, the Princess of Ethiopia was indeed beautiful.
I so love the part when the Ethiopians come into the Great Hall. True, the Egyptians were not historically accurate in the film, it was great to see how Beautiful true Africans looked even for a 1956 film. It was so important to see that as a kid.
This is why God YHWH likened His people Israel's color to that of the Ethiopians..So much truth has been deliberately erased, however Ethiopians are very dark skinned..
It's quite amusing to observe the way in which the so-called fake Egyptians are dressed up, resembling more Romans or Greeks, while the Ethiopians seem to capture the essence of ancient Kemet depicted on the wall art. Now that I've delved into the actual history, it's evident that the Ethiopians walk with a regal bearing, symbolized by the left foot firmly stepping on their enemies, highlighting a facet of history often overlooked by Eurocentric perspectives. Initially, "The Ten Commandments" was hailed as a remarkable movie, but my perspective underwent a significant shift when I uncovered the extent of fabrication and misrepresentation within it. I firmly believe that a more faithful portrayal could be achieved by incorporating the historical context of Greek and Roman intrusions into Egypt,. While the indigenous African heritage, including the names and contributions of the ancient Kemet people who were the true architects of the pyramids and temples history remain separate. White or olive-skinned individuals would not have been able to find it possible under the scorching 90-120-degree Egypt sun without their shirts during that time, as implied by the film. Furthermore, the attire depicted in "The Ten Commandments" closely resembles Greek clothing, which is a far cry from the historical clothing worn by the ancient Egyptians, or Kemet people, who did not sport helmets as portrayed in the movie. A commendable aspect of the film, though, is the portrayal of the Nubians and Ethiopians, whose clothing aligns more closely with the historical records found on the walls of ancient Egypt, featuring garments adorned with cheetah or leopard pattern
😃 i agree with you a thousand times, i have the DVD my children and i watched it over and over never find a fault of it , never get tired of it , my love when she said moses , moses , they're perfect characters fit perfectly for their role , just love it . To God be the glory forever amen
THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE, GOOD OLD CECIL B , WHAT A TOP MOVIE EVERYTHINK IS JUST SO PERFECT, I LOVE THE CLOTHES, JEWELLERY, JUST OUTSTANDING AND OFCOURSE THE ACTORS ❤❤❤
His ego got the better of him in this film. Also, Moses handled Ethopia far more wisely. Instead of conquering Ethopia and making a potential enemy, he brings them to Egypt as friends, building a strong alliance.
I was always drawn to the actress who played the Ethiopian princess. She’s barely on screen, but her charisma! Her presence! I would’ve loved it if she played Zipporah, since the Bible says she was “dark”, not necessarily indicating she was black, but still. That’s something I appreciated in the animated Prince of Egypt.
@@ddthewolf I could only find an uncredited role in Sinuhe she played. Some mention that she got married and changed her second name, likely she quit acting - sadly. A dark skinned woman in the 50s, married likely would have had a hard time finding any roles.
Moses apparently had a 2nd wife. Tzipporah the daughter of Jethro was a Midianite. She was not a Kushite woman. The wife about whom Miriam gossiped in the Book of Numbers chapter 12 was a Kushite woman (an Ethiopian woman) and was not a daughter of Jethro. For gossiping about her, Miriam became leprous.
The real lady portrayed wouldn't look anything like the actress portrayed. We know how horn Africans especially Ethiopians look and the lady doesn't look Ethiopian. She looks more west African. Beautiful nonetheless
If looks could kill, Nefateri would've turned that woman to ashes. And when Rameses says: "I too share her joy in your return," sounded so phony, I'm surprised Rameses didn't choke on those words.
These ancient Egyptians were the Real Thing - absolute goddess power emanating from the Mighty Nile Valley deep into sub-Saharan Mother Afrika. "So let it be written, so let it be done!" Love, Andrea
The best story ever told in the old testament about Pharos & Moses was in Egypt. God chose a Royal African country to tell the greatest story. Story is about two countries, two brothers, African Royalty and slavery, maintaining power at any cost. God shows how mighty and powerful he is through the journey. At the end, both men got separated and lead their own people.
Everyone needs salvation here are the words of salvation please forgive me jesus im a sinner come into my heart and save me from my sin I no that you are the savior and I no that you died for me on calvary and I no that God raise you from the dead and you are alive and I thankyou for your salvation in Jesus holy name amen and its important to always ask for forgiveness every night 🌙
Back then, weightlifting wasn't anywhere near as common as it is now. The studio must have cleaned out every gym in California to get all the extras. And of course Heston and Brynner had to have been put on a program.
Fantastic scene, like every other scene in this movie. I doubt the guests would be allowed in so close to the Pharoah. Anne Baxter's jealousy is hilarious. Also hilarious that Nefertiri and Seti can supposedly talk to each other about Ramses and Moses with them standing just a couple feet away.
The drama of dialogue in movies is something modern directors and writers have sadly forgotten. The little skirmishes between moses and his brother and nefertiti allying with moses while wise sethi sees everything that is going on between those three is more interesting than actual combat and special effects. New horizons the costner movie is like that.
Great costumes and staging. Good movement and camera work. Bombastic lines that a bright 16-year-old could have written. We were a more naive people when this hit the movie theaters. Judging by the comments and the broad nationwide support for DJT, we haven't come very far.
I grew up watching the ten Commandments always thought it was a classic movie with a lot of great actors in it….. but now that I’m older, it amazes me how they had all these white people playing Egyptians lol
@ChiefX07 I believe this would be a fun video of fact vs fiction. I think they combined the kingdoms of Ethiopia and Nubia under Ethiopia in this movie. But in 1956 they indeed recognized beauty amongst black people. Unfortunately I could not find more on the actress that played the Ethiopian Princess but the King was indeed an athlete of Olympic status and married to one of the Hawaiian princesses in real life.
That would make him Woody Stroud. He went to USC and played in the same backfield as OJ Simpson. He played a lot of roles. Loved him as Pompey in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" An absolute classic.
0:38 Narrator 2: Indeed, having been granted the rank of the commander of Pharaoh’s army, everyone knew Moses’s name. How he had been drawn from the water. How he had been taken into the Egyptian life. Being next in line for the throne was good news for Moses, but unfortunate news for Ramses. You see, he was originally next in line, but now that Moses was to be granted the rank, this made Ramses bitter.
One thing confuses me; was Nefertiti Pharoah’s daughter or his ward? Marrying Ramses if she was his daughter, meant that she married her own brother. If she wasn’t, she still ended up with a crap husband.
First of all she was Nefertiri, not Nefertiti. And Pharaoh Sethi I wasn't her father. She was taken to the court as she was highborn from an old previous royal house. Sort of a Diplomatic marriage. But some sources say that Rameses II and Nefertiri had an actual love.
She was his kin. Not sure what relation she was to him (maybe daughter or maybe cousin, etc.) Besides, the Pharaoh's married their relatives to keep the line pure.
The old-timey color technology is actually gorgeous.
Very
Gorgeous and full of life!
Colour by Technicolor (shot in VistaVision).
Why do people have that kind of perception? People really underestimated old timey movies, eh?
it's always surprising to me that current film producers feel the need for cgi. Reality is always so much better!
Those costumes, the cast of gorgeous actors/actresses, the set design, perfection!
Try to imagine seeing it when it was new. 🎉
Martin Scorsese has talked about how it is still one of the best movies ever made. I agree!
@@yvonneplant9434 Indeed ! I never get sick of watching it on occasion ! 👍
"Command what you have conquered my brother" this movie has so many quotable lines
Agree
"He spurned me like a strumpet in the street." another good Nefertiri line.
Charlton Heston was probably one of about 5 dudes in the world who could emasculate Yul Bryner so effortlessly.
“Such a beautiful enemy” Neferteri always has the strongest and sassiest line
She wasn't lying tho
Neferteri was one of my first movie crushes. Not religious like that but still ❤️🔥
Bithia was also beautiful while younger in this movie. Both her and Neferteri are gorgeous ❤️🔥🤷❤️🔥 makes me almost become fully religious
"And such a bee-YOO-tiful enemy!" Just marvelous in every line and gesture!

Between Moses bashing Ramses and the princess' jealousy, Sethi was having the time of his life.
I know right 😂
And let’s forget Nefertiri’s jealousy toward the Princess of Ethiopia……
@@williampaz2092That's what he's referring to. She was jealous of any woman who came near Moses
The princess of Ethyopia by giving the gem to Moses was piercing the egyptian princess' heart.

She was his kin. Not sure what relation she was to him (maybe daughter or maybe cousin, etc.) Besides, the Pharaoh's married their relatives to keep the line pure.
I never got that either, just what her relationship to pharoh is, however, it wasn't uncommon for the ancient Egypt royalty to marry siblings
Probably his ward in the movie. But in reality a lot of the Pharaohs were marrying thier sisters.
Incest was quite common in Egyptian royal families
Nefertiti loved Moses so much that it would break her heart that she had to marry Rameses, the man she despises above all else!
