I get that the Pharaoh had reason to deny the river turning blood being God's work, but if I saw hailing fire, I would've just said "ALRIGHT. TAKE YOUR PEOPLE."
I think he knew that God existed and was the only God but the Pharaoh didn't wanna change his lifestyle. He would have to give everything up that he loved.
All the plagues in Egypt correspond with an Egyptian god so in the Bible it said God kept making Pharoah stubborn so he could keep performing signs and wonders to prove He is God.
What strikes me about these veteran directors like C.B. DeMille, John Ford, Ruben Mamoulian, Michael Curtiz and others is once the technology of Technicolor was available to them they didn't just use it, they USED it! They didn't just throw it in the camera and went to work, as you put it so well they created animated oil paintings and masterpieces at that! A whole new world opened up for these men and they made full use of it. Nowadays the color is just taken for granted. A big "So what?" There aren't and haven't been any films in the past several years I've wanted to spend money to see. An era's truly come and gone.
This was done long before CGI. And it still looks more impressive and real than CGI generated scenes. The hail catching fire was nothing short of phenomenal…..and this was done in 1956!
The courage and strength of Moses to return to what was once his homeland to free his people is utterly amazing and it really shows that With God the impossible becomes possible..
WHATS MORE A PERSON SHOULD LOOK AT IS AS SOON AS MOSES Lowers HIS ARMS AND TURNS AROUND Without A SCORE IN SILENCE A Small GREY CLOUD ASCENDS SLIWLY FOLOWED BY A WHITE STORM CLOUD NO MUSIC THE SILENCE IS EIRY AND JUST , A BOOMBASTIC SCORE TO REVEAL THE HAIL WOULD HAVE SPOILED THE SCENE, pbu Charlton and Yul
Only problem with the movie is; the director forgot to read his history properly to know that this is not how Egyptians or africans looked then, guess he used cleopatra as a model for the characters.
@@jeffreyrediel you have such an evil heart. Why haven't the Egyptians and Africans recreated the movie to correct the so-called mistake you claim that was done in 1956? After all, there is technology, money, more population and the storyline to recreate the movie as of today. Appreciate the good work that has been done or go ahead and do your own.
@lgempet2869 Lol even though this movie was made long before I was born, I'm 30, she gave me funny feelings when I saw this movie as a kid LOL. What a hottie! Especially in that see-through top LOL
I like how Ramses mentions the eruption of Thera and believes it to be the actual cause of the plagues at first. It is a nice touch to see that a modern theory would be believed by someone back then.
Egypt had some of the best scientists and mathematicians of the ancient world. (Makes sense - as the wheat-supplier to the known world they were the wealthiest country and could afford to hire the best brains - "I hear that Greek guy is great at architecture - build a palace for him.")
No, he doesn't mention Thera. He speaks of, "A mountain beyond the cataracts, which spewed red mud, and poisoned the water." Cataracts are rapids or falls. He's talking about a landslide or something similar on the upper Nile, far south of Goshen or the Delta. Although some modern scholars do attribute the historical basis for Exodus to the Thera eruption, and I think that is very likely, that is not what Yul Brynner's line here means.
Doesn't explain water poured from the vase or blood that appears when Aaron touches the water the staff. It started at the waters edge in front of the temple.
I’m actually Muslim. I attended a catholic private school for middle school (6-8) as the middle schools around my house were not really safe. Even though our religions are different I realized my classmates and I classmates believed in so many of the same things and they treated me no different from them. I was the only Muslim girl in the whole school but they truly became my family and I became even more religious, even though I’m not Christian. I think it’s amazing that these people brought me closer to God even though I’m different. We watched this movie in my religion class and I loved it so much. Every part matched up with the stories in Islam from the Pharaoh to Moses parting the Red Sea and the bush and everything. I love this movie and may God bless you all 💚
@@user-gd2vh5vo6t like I said I don’t have any questions, nor am I searching for any answers. Please don’t speak for me I can speak for myself, Islam is what I believe in.
IMO, The greatest movie ever made with an all star cast. With special effects for the time this was made was spectacular. I don’t think something like this can be made at the price it would cost.
One of our 6th grade field trips was to see this movie ,it was long but I loved it and whenever I came across it on the TV I could never not watch it. God was pointing my head in a certain direction I think.Thank you God
Every year on the week of Good Friday , I am anticipated and looking forward to see the Ten Commencements on ABC. I love it and I feel great and at peace on the Holy Week. I won’t let anything bother me or hurts me for Gods is on my side and he protects me.
No matter how many ten commandments movie comes this will be my all time favorite it's so original ND spank amazing so pure that it feels like I am in that time while ten commandments happened
There's always something about the use of color from directors who previously worked in black and white. Like they know HOW to make it truly pop, you know?
Hey, Charlton Heston's voice made perfect as a Jack-of-All Trades. He was a French bishop in The Three Musketeers, a Hebrew prophet here, an English knight in The Warlord, etc.
THESE kind of old movies is what i was talking about when i've once told to my nephews and a centennial friend of mine that old movies were, are, and will always be the OG real deal!
Hey STEVE P so your the one who has my name.... And I think we share the same thoughts cause that's exactly what I was about to post.... STUNNED!!!! AND YOUR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!...LOL
Nefertiri was always trying to gas Ramses up. He never lied about her having a serpents tongue. “Bring back your sword with his blood upon it.” Ramses: “I shall, to mingle with your own.”
Thank you for paying homage to this biblical classic. I understand that this movie isn't historically accurrate, but it has brought awareness to the biblical scriptures in which our fellow theologians pride are very being upon.
And still even unto THIS DAY, the evil ones are stiff neck. REPENT! The KINGDOM OF THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE TRUE GOD✝️, IS AT HAND. Tell everyone! HE'S ✝️ coming. Let the people go world.

It doesn't hold up for God's sake why are you lying? Did you see that blood spreading in the river like a bad photoshop edit (1:37)? That green screen is so terrible.
He Still Didn't Believe Even After FIRE🔥Rained From The Sky 🤔 How Many People Aren't Going To BELIEVE When JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR Come Down To Earth🌎 From The SKY 🙏
5:43 "We fear no army of the Earth, but can we fight plagues with swords?" That line has struck me ever since. As I have been (and still am) fascinated with history, I too have shown much interest with militaries. Their weapons and equipment, the reasons why they are armed and fight, how they fight, and the battles of the past and of today changing the world in every way, big and small. And as a force with such devices and goals, as shown in real life and in fiction, the military is power. And yet here they are powerless against the plagues, whose nature is different than that of any human combatant. Their brute strength cannot work against them. It is humbling. It also shows the character Pentaur (played by Henry Wilcoxon) being realistic. Despite commanding such power he knows what it cannot do and acknowledges that.
Just like how the Martians from War of the Worlds were powerless against Earth's bacteria despite having the firepower to defeat ALL of Earth's armies.
Sure , just look at statistics. Bears , sharks , lions all these great predators and of course our fellow man. All the deaths from the above mentioned pale in comparison to our tiny little freind the mosquito who's spreading of little viruses by far have ended the lives of far more humans. And yet we still think we are at the top of the food chain 😅
Pharaoh: Your people are slaves to mine. What are you going to do about it? Moses: Aaron, if you would be so kind? Aaron: I'm on it. *Puts staff in the water.* Lord, if you please? God: Already done. *Bleeds the Nile.*
It was true no army could compare to Egypts at that time much less challange them ..yet one man with one staff broke their back without so much as a stone in his hand !
And yet God did not protect Israel at all when Rome kicked their ass or when the Babylonians carried them off to slavery. This is a myth. Not reality. There were never Hebrew slaves in ancient Egypt. NONE of this happened. The Egyptians kept very good records. None of this happened. There was no pharaoh killed in the Red Sea trying to overtake 4 million fleeing Hebrew slaves. It just did not happen. This film chooses not to show Pharaoh being drowned in the sea, probably because DeMille wanted to create the impression his movie was 'historical'. The Bible does not bear this out: "But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, (Psa 136:15 NKJ)" plainly states that Pharaoh died with his army. But the Egyptian records say no such thing occurred and no other nation records such a ridiculous event. Think about it, there's Pharaoh and his army being blocked by twin pillars of fire, and then he decides to pursue the Hebrews into to a magically created dry patch in the Red Sea, and all Pharaoh has to say is "Better to die in battle with a god then to live in shame." A pharaoh would never have said such a thing. Dying in battle against a god is a waste of an army. Did Egypt have such an army to waste?
Cecil DeMille has made one in 1927. This is his second, made in 1956 when he was 74. He put everything that he learned in his illustrious career into this one. It was his lifetime ambition that became his lifetime achievement. It is a masterpiece in every department. Script was a beauty ("Speak my son"); editing was unbeatable; music was excellent. Most importantly, the acting of Yul Brynner, Edward Robinson, Anne Baxter, Yvonne De Carlo and Cedric Hardwicke (as Pharaoh Seti) trumpets all. The best movie ever made.
Yul Brynner was a gorgeous man. The golden age of Hollywood I feel was from the 20s through to the early 60s; there was no need to show extreme violence or nudity.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Pharaoh was brought to his knees by God he finally got it though his thick head he can't fight God. I loved Charlton Heston's voice it was amazing. Its sad at the end of his life he lost his mind.
Come on. Are you still ignorant and disobedient like pharoh? Jesus Christ is just a messenger of God and preached us to thank obey and worship only our One God like prophet Moses (peace and blessings of God upon them) preached. Our Creator One only Allah Almighty ❤
The special effects in this were amazing for the era.

Almost 6000 years ahead of its time

I do the same thing also if I saw hailing fire and a river turns into blood I say okay take your people you win
@@Mnjake96 Absolutely
Actually it would fall and burn as fire upon the ground.
The cinematography of this film is like an animated oil painting. Almost 70 years later, it has never been duplicated to this level.
Not even close, really...and......none computer or AI-generated. Imagine that.
What strikes me about these veteran directors like C.B. DeMille, John Ford, Ruben Mamoulian, Michael Curtiz and others is once the technology of Technicolor was available to them they didn't just use it, they USED it! They didn't just throw it in the camera and went to work, as you put it so well they created animated oil paintings and masterpieces at that! A whole new world opened up for these men and they made full use of it.
Nowadays the color is just taken for granted. A big "So what?"
There aren't and haven't been any films in the past several years I've wanted to spend money to see. An era's truly come and gone.
This was done long before CGI. And it still looks more impressive and real than CGI generated scenes. The hail catching fire was nothing short of phenomenal…..and this was done in 1956!
The process of old school special effects is very interesting.
Let's not go over the top. It was fantastic for the time but that scene could be replicated amazingly today.
I wouldn't go that far, impressive for the time but not more impressive than what cgi today can do to enhance this scene
Pharaoh speaks english 🤣🤣
You should’ve been there in 1300bc
The courage and strength of Moses to return to what was once his homeland to free his people is utterly amazing and it really shows that With God the impossible becomes possible..
Brynner was perfect as the Pharoah.
Yes! And then you have Charlton Heston as Moses opposite role?! Amazing casting choices. Absolute perfection!
There is one other in the film who could have done even better.
Vincent Price.
You mean Rameses II.
the way he moves his cape when he says something dramatic
And the king of Siam.
I just absolutely love this movie
The best movie ever !!! No movie could they make today better than the 10 Commandments
One of my favorites
Bet you didn't know Pharaoh Yul Brinner was from Russia..
Except it wasn't true. Even the clothes.
@@Kemet3.0 And we being slaves for 400 years wasn't true easier. It's all hocus pocous.. Even what you think you know..
What must not be overlooked/under appreciated is the SCORE for this great film. It added so much drama and created so much tension and suspense.
Amen. True.
Elmer Bernstein. Perhaps his greatest work.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I agree. However I enjoyed Yul Brenner as Pharoah more than Charlton Heston as Moses. Only Yul could have played Pharoah so well.
This is a remake of a remake, so probably true that this is one of the greatest.
It is
Except Egypt is in Africa and the characters are white 😂
Water turning to blood and fiery hail falling from the sky
Ramses: *This is fine*
All perfectly natural occurrences in the Egypt of that era
He knew Moses was right but he wasn't ready to give up everything he had and his lifestyle.
Until the last plague.
God, hardening Ramses's heart: "Ramses, it's fine."
Until a plague affected him personally, he didn't really care
NOBODY could play Moses like Charlton Heston ! Wow!!!!😊
Anne Baxter as Nefertari is EXCELLENT in this film….her interpretation of the character suits this Cecil B. DeMille version of the story.
@lgempet2869 Lol even though this movie was made long before I was born, I'm 30, she gave me funny feelings when I saw this movie as a kid LOL. What a hottie! Especially in that see-through top LOL
This man was born to play Ramses. No other.
And the king of Siam. 🤘🏻😎
That is the conclusion Cecil B. DeMille came to after seeing him in The King and I.
FOR REAL!!!
I believe you
His Moses is the only one I'll watch. All others are just not as powerful as he is
2:18: “And God smote the land with all manner of plagues. But still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened.”
that versus "you prophets and priests made the gods so you may prey on the fears of men".
My heart would be hardened too tbh
Yes hardened... by Yahweh himself.
I like how Ramses mentions the eruption of Thera and believes it to be the actual cause of the plagues at first. It is a nice touch to see that a modern theory would be believed by someone back then.

It still comes on yearly on ABC, usually around Palm Sunday or Easter weekend. It comes on Saturday nights now, the night before

The story is all about the LORD showing Pharaoh who is the real KING 😇 Come soon Sweet LORD 🙏😇
This is the best biblical film i've watched. 😍
I like the DreamWorks version
Yes!! And wait until you watch Samson.

This is among my favorite movies to watch. This along with Jesus Of Nazareth are two of the best movies ever made.
I look forward every year to watch The Ten Commandments on the Saturday before Easter
God is sitting on the couch with you eating popcorn watching HIs Ten Commandments.

You are right 👍
This 1956 Ten Commandments movie is my all-time fav biblical story
Jezebel whispering in his ear and Pride keeping him from relenting.

There's always something about the use of color from directors who previously worked in black and white. Like they know HOW to make it truly pop, you know?
Very interesting to show Pharaoh as skeptical, doubting all the divine and explaining things logically. Always liked that.
Especially as Pharaohs were considered to be Gods too.
2:00 nah he just didn't believe in their divinity
He was agnostic.
And Yul Brynner's line delivery there is spot on.
skeptical inquiry / scientific materialism - nice!
Two of the most powerful men on screen. Ever. Yul Brynner and Charlton Heston.
Charlton Heston was a limited actor but he was born for this role. Yul Brynner was always great.
Hey, Charlton Heston's voice made perfect as a Jack-of-All Trades. He was a French bishop in The Three Musketeers, a Hebrew prophet here, an English knight in The Warlord, etc.
The greatest biblical movie of all time
I digress. Jesus Of Nazareth was the best. The Ten Commandments is a very close second.
A fool you will stay
1956 n in 2024 still holding traditional value ..😇😇😇
THESE kind of old movies is what i was talking about when i've once told to my nephews and a centennial friend of mine that old movies were, are, and will always be the OG real deal!
Pharroh has NO idea who he's dealing with.

"We fear no army of the Earth, but can we fight plagues with swords?"
That line has struck me ever since. As I have been (and still am) fascinated with history, I too have shown much interest with militaries. Their weapons and equipment, the reasons why they are armed and fight, how they fight, and the battles of the past and of today changing the world in every way, big and small. And as a force with such devices and goals, as shown in real life and in fiction, the military is power.
And yet here they are powerless against the plagues, whose nature is different than that of any human combatant. Their brute strength cannot work against them. It is humbling.
It also shows the character Pentaur (played by Henry Wilcoxon) being realistic. Despite commanding such power he knows what it cannot do and acknowledges that.
Just like how the Martians from War of the Worlds were powerless against Earth's bacteria despite having the firepower to defeat ALL of Earth's armies.
Sure , just look at statistics.
Bears , sharks , lions all these great predators and of course our fellow man.
All the deaths from the above mentioned pale in comparison to our tiny little freind the mosquito who's spreading of little viruses by far have ended the lives of far more humans.
And yet we still think we are at the top of the food chain 😅
Yul Brynner.. What a performer ❤️.
This is historically accurate and the Bible is true to the fullest. God is to be followed and obeyed. Let us turn from our wickedness.
One of my favorite movies of all time even though it was made decades before I was born
Moses's God is God
No he is not ever
And Moses’s God is our God.
Pharaoh: Your people are slaves to mine. What are you going to do about it?
Moses: Aaron, if you would be so kind?
Aaron: I'm on it. *Puts staff in the water.* Lord, if you please?
God: Already done. *Bleeds the Nile.*
Pharaoh: Not if I have anything to say about it. Sacred water, if you would be so kind?
Sacred water: *Turns into blood.*
God: You were saying?
Classic! 👏 Timeless! They don't make 'em this good anymore.
It was true no army could compare to Egypts at that time much less challange them ..yet one man with one staff broke their back without so much as a stone in his hand !
And yet God did not protect Israel at all when Rome kicked their ass or when the Babylonians carried them off to slavery. This is a myth. Not reality. There were never Hebrew slaves in ancient Egypt. NONE of this happened. The Egyptians kept very good records. None of this happened. There was no pharaoh killed in the Red Sea trying to overtake 4 million fleeing Hebrew slaves.

Think about it, there's Pharaoh and his army being blocked by twin pillars of fire, and then he decides to pursue the Hebrews into to a magically created dry patch in the Red Sea, and all Pharaoh has to say is "Better to die in battle with a god then to live in shame." A pharaoh would never have said such a thing. Dying in battle against a god is a waste of an army. Did Egypt have such an army to waste?
Sea Peoples, Hittites, the rising Assyrians and Later the Persians. All could Match Egypt and even take her over in the latter's case.
It was God punishing the Hebrews for their infractions. Read your bible more often before you shoot off your mouth.
Not true The Hittite Empire matched Egypt in every aspect and were rivals
Ann Baxter steals every scene that she's in. She's awesome!
Pharo talking like a humanitarian..priceless.
Since i was 4 years old every year TV showed the Ten Commandments I would watch this with my Parents .
I use to watch this movie every time it came on. Watching this takes me to a happy place and time in my life.
These are the actual wonders of film industry
Nefretiri was so manipulative
JEHOVAH is my God amen
Absolutely 👍🏾🙏🏾
"you prophets and priests made the gods so you may prey on the fears of men".
Cecil DeMille has made one in 1927. This is his second, made in 1956 when he was 74. He put everything that he learned in his illustrious career into this one. It was his lifetime ambition that became his lifetime achievement. It is a masterpiece in every department. Script was a beauty ("Speak my son"); editing was unbeatable; music was excellent. Most importantly, the acting of Yul Brynner, Edward Robinson, Anne Baxter, Yvonne De Carlo and Cedric Hardwicke (as Pharaoh Seti) trumpets all. The best movie ever made.
How does Moses keep getting into the palace of Pharaoh?
He grew up there, he knows all the ways in.
God’s will
@@RandomAmerican3000 yeah he'd definitely know all the secret passages.
Plot armour
I love God ... Amen
Reminds me of when I was a kid watching shows like this on Sunday and Saturday afternoons 😊❤❤❤
I love this movie. The actors,actress,and costumes were magnificent.
I’m so curious how they had regular water pouring out of the vase that then turned red. What a cool special effect especially for the time 😮
A second chamber in the vase
Ironically, this scene actually makes a kickass song in the Prince of Egypt.
One of the FEW things that made that cartoon better than this movie. But this movie feels far more authentic.
Yul Brynner was a gorgeous man. The golden age of Hollywood I feel was from the 20s through to the early 60s; there was no need to show extreme violence or nudity.
These old movies always had great costumes and colours. Everything looked so rich.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Pharaoh was brought to his knees by God he finally got it though his thick head he can't fight God. I loved Charlton Heston's voice it was amazing. Its sad at the end of his life he lost his mind.
Not one of the greatest movies but “The” Greatest Movie Ever Made.
This is such well done cinematography...Love how it's been broken down.
I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior
Muhammad pbuh is the last messenger of god
Jesus Christ is God made flesh
Amen
Come on. Are you still ignorant and disobedient like pharoh? Jesus Christ is just a messenger of God and preached us to thank obey and worship only our One God like prophet Moses (peace and blessings of God upon them) preached. Our Creator One only Allah Almighty ❤
Whoopee doo!
2:38 "they would cry louder if they had to make the bricks"--a very Pharaoh saying
LOL
One of the best comedy films I have ever seen.
History sure repeats itself much of what's going on in the US
