The Prince Of Egypt Moses
is not a warrior. He is a messenger who weeps for his enemy. The Red Sea parting is visually spectacular, but the real climax is Moses standing before Ramses after the sea closes on the Egyptian army. Moses doesn’t gloat. He doesn’t strike a heroic pose. He just lowers his staff, his face etched with sorrow. The final shot of the two men is not of victor and vanquished, but of two brothers torn apart by history.
