The Ten Commandments (5/10) Movie CLIP - Moses Meets His Real Mother (1956) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Much to the dismay of Bithiah (Nina Foch), Moses (Charlton Heston) confronts Yochabel (Martha Scott) asking if he's her real son. She first denies a son who can worship an idol, but her maternal love caves in.

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"?

This scene brings tears to my eyes every time !
The true love of a Mother !

[dragonfox]

"Look in to my eyes and tell me you are not my mother" that was brutal in so many levels

[medeltrilles]

Its 2022 and its still magical. This scene is the most amazing scene in the whole movie. So touching..so uplifting!

[tariqshafi]

This was a very touching scene in a great movie. Martha Scott was a fantastic actress!

[audreywarren]

It saddens me that people don't talk like this anymore.

[RFEDO]

Nearly 70 year old film...yet i get goosebumps everytime i watch it, and Chuck is my all time favourite actor, which obviously helps !!

[charlesooko]

If you can bow before an idol, you are not my son . the greatest motion picture of our time

[marcmg]

This movie... can't count how many times I watched it...

[chonamariecordova]

No other so called religious movie can beat the TEN COMMANDMENTS except BEN HUR. Both are at par with each other. The casts, the settings, the costumes, but most of all, the ACTINGS are EXCELLENT!

[francescalunar]

I can watch the TEN COMMANDMENTS a thousand times and never get tried of it…😍😍😍😍😍this movie is everything 🙂🙂🙂🌺🌺🌺

[TuckerSP]

I remember the first time I saw a large, flat screen tv. My friends had invited me over and this movie was playing on it. The colors were so vivid and beautiful I almost fell down. It's an amazing piece of art. The costumes, sets and casting made it really something for the ages.

[paulcoover]

This was made before I was born. Never tire of watching it. Masterpiece

[individualaccountability]

This is an all time classic from the golden age of Hollywood, before it turned into the cesspool it has become!

[Sameoldfitup]

"A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it."

[thesavagecanuck]

The scene in the mud pits pulls my heart strings as much as this one. (When the old man is killed by the Egyptian, and carried out by Moses, he confesses to Moses that God didn't answer his prayer of SEEING the deliverer with his own eyes before he died) he says this, while looking into Moses eyes....

[dorianphilotheates]

“Do they love less that have no hope?” — I don’t know who wrote the script to this, but (s)he was a literary virtuoso.

[Michael-kdho]

The ending of this scene was lft out, which is a shame.


I'm Yochebed, thy mother.
I am thy sister, Myriam.
I am thy brother, Aharon.


silent pause, Moses stands up


I am your brother, Moses.

[davidr]

What a great movie that has held up so well over time. The important story, the cinematography, the acting and dialogue makes it possibly the greatest movie of all time or least the most important.

[Kirwina]

One of the best movies of all times with superb acting

[VladimirLeninify]

I'm an atheist and even I have immense admiration for this film :)
