I don’t know so much about “like” to watch rather than…well…it’s just on. It’s usually Christmas, Easter or Passover. These days it tends to be in the afternoon, rather than peak time.
They have been showing this movie for the nearly half a century. No wonder it has become one of the most profitable movies of all time.
The character of Moses is featured in the religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam and the plot is a mix-n-match from all three versions. The story is a great one (even greater if you believe it) “Let my people go”, the magic wand, the plagues, the Red Sea parting, meeting God on the mountain top, getting the ten commandments, then throwing a wobbly and smashing them up. The drama was great, the cast were some of the finest actors of their time and the special effects fantastic, considering it was the fifties.

To this day one of the highlights of the studio tour at Universal studios in California is having the waters of the Red Sea part...

...then the tour bus drives through.

Many people these days don’t believe that Moses made the Red Sea part. However a pre-historic version of Google Earth has been discovered, which proves that he did.

Charlton Heston got the part because he looked like Michelangelo's famous statue of Moses at the Vatican.

All except for the horns!

What horns?

These horns….

Oh, he has got horns hasn’t he?

What is he doing with them then?

Because it says he has them in the Bible.

No way!

Way

Show me.

Exodus 34:29 and 35: "And when Moses came down from the Mount Sinai, he held the two tablets of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord."

"And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them."

If you look closely they have teased his mullet to kind of look that way. Is it just me, but doesn’t he look a bit like Jose Mouriniho after 40 years in the wilderness?
