This is a docudrama of the life of Moses, literally!
In between scenes pulled accurately from the Bible are historians and scholars giving us background and insight. It's the same story as the Cecil DeMille 10 Commandments with Charlton Heston as Moses, which was a more fictional telling of this tale. For instance the fact that Moses was not a great orator, and let Aaron his brother do the speaking for him to the slaves and then to pharaoh, can you imagine Charlton Heston, leaving all those great lines to any other character in that movie?
The casting is wonderful, a lot of unknown, talented actors in all the great parts, including the guy who plays Moses, who is excellent. I just finished watching part one and I had to write a review because I am enjoying it so much.
10 out of 10 stars, enjoy!
