Beautifully created! Amazing acting. Wi drying if anything g was taken from the Talmud and Hebrew original scriptures. Set design and location couldn't be more amazing. Not one single detail was forgotten however, very physically disgusting looking actors except for Moses. Why do many ugly people in movies and tv??? I know we want to be inclusive and varied but it gets almost perturbing to continue watching! Enough!
In the first story, I interpreted the response, "Ask my Maker," as the person meaning, "How can you say I'm ugly, since I'm a child of G-d, and your reverence for G-d should cause you to respect me and my appearance no matter how unattractive you perceive me to be." I would not have thought of the person's ugliness being a spiritual paucity and that the comment led him to spirituality, so that gives me something to think about.
I also believe our reactions and standards of beauty can be problematic and deeply unfair but do see some efforts being made to stretch the definitions of what can be defined as attractive.
