The Ten Commandments 十誡
The story relates the life of Moses, from the time he was discovered in the bullrushes as an infant by the pharoah's daughter, to his long, hard struggle to free the Hebrews from their slavery at the hands of the Egyptians. Moses starts out "in solid" as Pharoah's adopted son, but when he discovers his true Hebrew heritage, he attempts to make life easier for his people. Banished by his jealous half-brother Rameses, Moses returns fully bearded to Pharoah's court, warning that he's had a message from God and that the Egyptians had better free the Hebrews post-haste if they know what's good for them. Only after the Deadly Plagues have decimated Egypt does Rameses give in. As the Hebrews reach the Red Sea, they discover that Rameses has gone back on his word and plans to have them all killed. But Moses rescues his people with a little Divine legerdemain by parting the Seas. Later, Moses is again confronted by God on Mt. Sinai, who delivers unto him the Ten Commandments. Meanwhile, the Hebrews, led by the duplicitous Dathan, are forgetting their religion and behaving like libertines. "Where's your Moses now?" brays Dathan in the manner of a Lower East Side gangster. He soon finds out. DeMille's The Ten Commandments may not be the most subtle and sophisticated entertainment ever concocted, but it tells its story with a clarity and vitality that few Biblical scholars have ever been able to duplicate.
摩西出生在埃及法老下令殺盡希伯來(lái)男嬰的“白色恐怖”時(shí)期，他的父母不敢收藏，便把他放在籃子里順流而下，盼有人收養(yǎng)。法老的女兒發(fā)現(xiàn)摩西，收為自己的兒子。摩西長(zhǎng)大后對(duì)埃及人奴役希伯來(lái)人越來(lái)越看不慣，一次他失手打死一個(gè)欺負(fù)希伯來(lái)人的埃及人。法老王知道此事后要懲罰摩西，于是失去母親保護(hù)的他逃往米甸地居住，開(kāi)始他四十年的牧羊生涯，并在米甸地結(jié)婚生子。其間耶和華將十誡授與摩西，并賜予摩西力量讓其帶領(lǐng)苦難的希伯來(lái)人從埃及人的奴役下走出來(lái)。在經(jīng)過(guò)一番苦難之后希伯來(lái)人在摩西的帶領(lǐng)下終于渡過(guò)紅海，在曠野上重建新生活。
推薦理由：本片改編自圣經(jīng)故事，已被列入美國(guó)國(guó)家電影保護(hù)局列為政府收藏作品，足以證明其歷史地位。
