Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The biblical epic Exodus: Gods and Kings accuracy was questioned when Ridley Scott made significant changes from the book of the Bible it was based on. As a director who has repeatedly dismissed concerns about accuracy, Scott has been more concerned with providing an entertaining film than he has been with rigidly adhering to the expected retelling of events.
He also said the question of casting non-white actors “never came up.” While it sounds like a very tactless response, the main reason that Scott cast almost all white actors in roles was that he needed big names for the movie to get the money to make it. Christian Bale's name helped sell the movie to investors and got it off the ground. However, this is one Exodus: Gods And Kings accuracy problem that might have actually hurt the movie's success at the box office.
8 Moses Was A Lover Not A Fighter Exodus: Gods And Kings Showcased Moses As A Far More Active Revolutionary Close In the biblical story of Exodus, Moses was a messenger of God and carried out his wishes without actively pursuing bloodshed. However, when Exodus: Gods and Kings was released there was concern that Moses was being envisioned as less of a messenger and more of a freedom fighter.
This is something that has changed many times over the years. In The Ten Commandments starring Charlton Heston as Moses, director Cecil B. De Mille chose to have God issue the stone tablets through a burning bush. For Scott, just because it is a child's voice does not mean it isn't God talking through that voice.
This created conflict in the new fictional storyline of Ramses and Moses being brothers. While it was still loyal to the Bible stories of Moses fleeing Egypt and trying to lead his people to God and away from danger, the brotherly storylines made this change a smart one for Scott to make. If this movie is about two brothers, then it makes sense for Moses's murder not to be the catalyst for his departure because this allowed his brother to cast him out instead.
In the Bible, the plagues included frogs, flies, lice, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the death of the firstborn children. However, the water turning into blood was made more visceral thanks to the crocodiles. It was less mysterious, but crocodiles fit just as well as frogs, locusts, and other creatures big and small infecting the land.
