The discrepancies in the film adaptation of ExodusThe book of Exodus is a detailed account of the history of the freedom of the Israelite people from the time of slavery in Egypt. Sometimes the verses can be confusing and it may be difficult to grasp the points. We will discuss below how The Prince of Egypt managed to portray the main plot and examine some points in the film where incorrect themes or details were shown. At the beginning of The Prince of Egypt, we see the rush that the mother is there to get her baby, Moses, safely to the river. The streets are full of soldiers, but luckily Moses' mother and children know where to go. The mother puts little Moses into the dangerous waters. Part of the journey proved quite adventurous, with the basket taking center stage among some of the slimier animals. Eventually the basket reaches its destination and the Egyptian queen picks it up. After opening the basket, she is shocked but happy to find a child and decides to take pity on him. The child is adopted by the royal family as one of the king and queen's children, and Moses only discovers his true origins later in the story. At the beginning of the film the beginning is difficult. There are things we understand about the original arrival that make sense to us as readers. Although little Moses' adventures may have been quite dangerous with many close encounters on the river, the Bible does not mention them. Moses' mother tells Moses' sister, Mariam, to follow the basket down the river and make sure it reaches its final destination. The Bible says that it was the princess of Egypt who actually discovered Moses. This is seen in Exodus 2:5: “Pharaoh's daughter came down to beat... in the middle of the paper... as if she were a little innocent and defenseless, because of the important dialogue that had been pulled out of the script . The examples cited are just a couple of the many differences between Exodus in the Bible and the adapted film Prince of Egypt. Many small details such as the care of Joseph's bones were left out, as were many added pieces, such as the slight immodesty shown in the clothing of Zipporah, Moses' wife. Many of the changes made to the film were made for theatrical purposes. Along with many other Bible stories, writers choose to leave out details they deem unnecessary to represent the main ethical point of the story. Regardless of the details left out in The Prince of Egypt, God's power is still displayed in all its wonderful might. Works Cited Coogan, Michael. The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha.
