Biblical epic on silver screen
Following box office Hollywood hit ‘Noha’, yet another biblically-inspired epic film ‘Exodus; Gods and Kings’ directed by Ridley Scott was released first week of December worldwide. Imported by CE, the film is now being screened Majestic Superior and Empire Colombo.
Starring Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton and Ben Kingsley, the film revolves around the defiant leader Moses who rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, setting 600,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.
Egyptian Princes Moses (Christian Bale) and Ramses (Joel Edgerton) are raised together as brothers. When Ramses becomes pharaoh, Moses is his most-trusted adviser. However Moses soon discovers his Hebrew parentage, and Ramses banishes him to the desert — often a death sentence. But God has a mission for Moses: Free the Israelites from slavery. Moses returns from exile and demands that Ramses let his people go, but the arrogant ruler is unmoved, leading to a battle of divine wills.
