The Interspiritual Moses: New Age Jihadist
The movie begins by introducing Moses (played by Christian Bale) as a trained army general, part of the current Pharaoh’s ruling family, preparing to attack a Hittite army with his “brother” (Pharaoh-in-waiting Ramses). This is an early indicator that this movie is going to stray from accurate biblical accounts, as there is no historical nor biblical support for Moses having an Egyptian brother, nor that Moses ever served in the Egyptian army or trained as a warrior/soldier during his formative years in Egypt.
The current Pharaoh dies, and “brother” Ramses becomes the new Pharaoh. In the scene where the current Pharaoh is near-death, the movie makes clear that Ramses is jealous towards Moses and desperate for his father’s (the current Pharaoh’s) love. Ramses begins to diverge from his previous solidarity with Moses, “creating” his own path by the choices he makes.
