"Hello let my people go?"
"Freedom machine broke"
"Understandable, have a nice *plague* "

Rameses: refuses to free the Hebrews
Also Rameses: *why do I hear boss music?*

i love how there's a whole choir singing for god??? it's multilayered with deep and high voices and voices in between and idk i just find it super cool that instead of having one dude sing for god they had a whole choir :D

[CazTails]

Moses: Let my people go
Pharaoh: No.
Yahweh: I wasn't asking.

When your in creative mode and see a village.

The fact that Moses vocals are almost solely backed by woodwinds and strings and so wistful and sad and Ramses’s anger and hurt bring in the brass and horns is such a great composing touch. And the God verses being the percussion pushing all of it forward and forcing the whole song / confrontation in the movie to a head is just incredible. This is such a good piece of music

[PhoenixKnight]

This is the perfect Bible movie.

It’s not preachy, and tells the account it’s based on in a accurate, yet truly epic way. It’s tame enough to be a kids movie, but doesn’t beat around the bush for anything at all. It’s very clear there is death and suffering, and it’s honestly really brutal, but it manages to walk that fine line between too mature and too kid friendly.

you know, when you hear "dreamworks bible movie musical" you would think it would be a disaster, but this movie is one of my absolute favorites of all time and one of the best i have ever seen.

When you become the admin on a server.

I feel like regardless of your religion or possibly lack thereof, nobody can deny the moving artfulness of The Prince of Egypt. The struggle mixed with the hopefulness as well as animation is continuously moving...not to mention how every song is an absolute bop

[azzifantasy]

Notice in the beginning, the deep male voices that I think sang "Since you refused to free my people" was God's anger.

[abhiramsrivastava]

Hearing this without context, you wouldn't guess this is from a kids movie

If you’re wondering why Pride is the first deadly sin, there’s a good example

The way the locusts’ buzzing actually goes with the music gives me chills man.

What I find interesting about this song is how in terms of tone it sounds more like a villain song than a heroic one. It doesn't sugar coat things, it depicts the plagues and God's will as an awful curse upon the land, intended to destroy and subjugate all who oppose it. Really captures the wrath of old testament God.

Pharaoh: Never mind how high the cost may grow.

God: *kills firstborn son*

Pharaoh: *surprised Pikachu face*

The interpretation is often to criminalize Ramses in this scenario but I actually believe that this song humanizes him. "How could you have come to hate me so, is this what you wanted?" is one of the most beautiful lines in the movie. Ramses always saw Moses as his brother and felt somewhat inferior to him but nevertheless maintained his love for him, even after Moses abandoned both him and his country for decades. He then returns only to ask for the destruction of his empire because of a God that Ramses never believed in. It's pretty tragic. Moses doesn't even want to do this, he knows how destructive this is and what he is doing to the relationship with his brother. That's why this is the most profound moment in the movie.

“I’m sorry Ramses, but I diagnose you with Letma.”
“What’s Letma?”
“ *LETMA PEOPLE GO.* “

I wish Ralph Fiennes had more lines in this, his voice is so powerful.
