i'm watching "the ten commandments" right now and something odd struck me. moses was destined to be pharoah, but chooses to dawn the life of a slave when he finds out the truth about himself. wouldn't it have been easier to stay the secret until his "uncle" bit the dust and gave moses the throne? then, he could have ramses assassinated and he could then free the slaves? that sounds so much easier and quicker. there would be no desert wandering, at least for him, and no loss in stature. so that's what i began to think while watching the damn movie. missed the new version but i heard that i didn't miss much. the old movie has better graphics. anyway, the movies on again.
