But there's no old gladiator teaching his young replacement, is there? Napoleon was seeking glory for France and glory for himself. Apparently his troops were very loyal and committed, even though the evolving technology of warfare was making killing each other much more efficient against the outdated tactics and formations still employed by armies of the day. But if Moses became Pharaoh and freed the slaves, he would leave Egypt without much of its work force, wrecking the economy (for which he would then be responsible.) The best he could have done would be to improve working conditions for them, more time off, bonuses for increased productivity, better medical care, etc. Or maybe stop building useless pyramids, so people could do productive work of their own choosing, instead of slaving away for years to glorify the Pharaoh.... Her acting was good, a bit stagy and over the top and too modern, but she made her shifting motivations and affections clear to the audience. And it's not like this movie (as great as it is) was devoid of over-acting from the rest of the cast. As a member of the wealthy Egyptian upper class, he may have been perfumed and pampered and and acted effeminate, but that doesn't necessarily mean he didn't like women. You mean like scientists? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/science-red-seas-parting-180953553/ <i>Drews' work is founded on the idea that, based on a slew of archeological evidence, it wasn't actually the Red Sea, but the Eastern Nile Delta, at a body of water called the Lake of Tanis, that did the parting, the Washington Post explains. Given the conditions of the lake a couple thousand years ago, a coastal phenomenon called a "wind setdown"—very strong winds, in other words—could have blown in from the east, pushing the water to create a storm surge in another part of the lake, but completely clearing water from the area where the wind was blowing. As the Washington Post writes, such events have happened fairly recently in parts of Lake Erie and in the Nile Delta.</i> The fish stayed in the water. Why wouldn't they? Setting it up for the sequel: "Ten Commandments 2: Pharaoh's Revenge" Seems like people think he was good as Ken. PBR is pretty good. One of the better cheap beers. Plus it has Miguel from Cobra Kai. They don't make movies like this any more. 9) Marco Polo wasn't just a great chronicler of various cultures, he was an action hero. 10) If you know a secret that threatens the Khan, prepare to die. This was way better. Still the GOAT, if you look at his whole career (high school, college, pros). 6 time NBA champion (like Jordan) 6 time NBA MVP (2 time Finals MVP) 19 time NBA All Star (15 times All-NBA) 11 times All-Defensive team Rookie of the Year 2 NBA scoring titles, 1 rebounding title, 4 blocks titles 3 time national college player of the year (3 time All American) 3 time Final Four MVP (3 national championships, with a 47 game winning streak in college) 3 consecutive NY City high school championships (with a 71 game winning streak) NY City high school scoring record 2 high school national championships (2nd place the other year) And according to Arnold, even stronger than Schwarzenegger himself. Apparently you don't understand what "aggression" means. The aggressor is the one who starts the fight, not the one who finishes it, no matter how ferociously. Hiroshima was so far down the list of military priorities that it hadn't been bombed prior to that, in the whole war. The USA had already fire-bombed Tokyo, with even greater loss of life. But the USA didn't have very many bombs, so a demo wouldn't prove they were willing to use it and could deliver it, only that it worked. The real inhumanity was only giving them 3 days to surrender before they bombed another city. Not really any good songs, but a few of the actors showed good vocal talent. It's the best Star Trek in a long while, much better than Discovery. The show has some good to great characters, from Ortegas to Noonien-Singh to Spock to Pike to Mbenga to Chapel, even if it seems to have sidelined Spock and Pike too much in the second season. The episodes are hit or miss, but the effects and visuals are great.
