The Ten Commandments (7/10) Movie CLIP - Moses Presents the Ten Commandments (1956) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Moses (Charlton Heston) brings the Ten Commandments from the mountain only to find his people worshipping an idol.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on the Holy Scriptures, with additional dialogue by several other hands, The Ten Commandments was the last film directed by Cecil B. DeMille. 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 (Charlton Heston) starts out "in solid" as Pharoah's adopted son (and a whiz at designing pyramids, dispensing such construction-site advice as "Blood makes poor mortar"), but when he discovers his true Hebrew heritage, he attempts to make life easier for his people. Banished by his jealous half-brother Rameses (Yul Brynner), 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 (Edward G. Robinson), 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. It is very likely the most eventful 219 minutes ever recorded to film--and who's to say that Nefertiri (Anne Baxter) didn't make speeches like, "Oh, Moses, Moses, you splendid, stubborn, adorable fool"?

I'll never understand these people who want to go against Moses. It's like they forgot that Moses parted A FREAKING OCEAN.

[eoinMB]

Love the way Joshua is right there waiting for Moses to come down the mountain. He had to have waited there for 40 days and yet he didnt allow himself to be dragged into the debauchery taking place below. Now thats a loyal wingman

There is no freedom without God's word, love, and law.

For a movie made in the 1950's, this is one of the films that gave me goosebumps up to this day -- one of the best movies out there.

The production value for this movie is real impressive for the time. Seeing this in theaters at the time must’ve been like seeing Lord of the Rings

[TheImaginator]

1:43 "Those Who Will NOT Live By The Law. . . . . . . SHALL DIE BY THE Awesome moment of The Ten Commandments.

[robertleewilliamsjr.]

Every Easter I watch the "Ten Commandments, starring Charlton Heston in the role he was born to play "Moses." There a couple of lines that I find unforgettable, Behold his mighty hands! Those who will not live by the law, shall die by the law!!! Truly, a timeless classic.

[Paladin_]

Moses is truly one of the greatest humans to ever live. His faithfulness and loyalty to God go unrivaled.

[SMmania]

"There is no freedom without the law." No truer line has ever been spoken, time and time again without some kind of law and order chaos and deprivation insue, history is like an open textbook when you take care to actually read its pages.

[AI-hxfx]

The dialogue is poetic and the compositions of key shots look like classical paintings! Splendid!

My grandmother always watched this every Holy Week along with other religious films. Then all other 51 weeks of the year, she'd watch horror, true crime, spy thrillers, war movies, and anything else that had people shooting at each other.

[FreeKentHovind]

I LOVED this movie when I was little; I still do now!

Charlton Heston did AMAZING as Moses & Ben-Hur, and I sure hope he's having a joyful time walking the streets of gold!

[jastinep.]

There's no freedom without a law.
