Here are seven facts about Moses that movies always seem to get wrong. Interestingly, every movie based on Moses seems to make the same mistakes, and so many faith-based film fans have become convinced that these elements were actually part of the original story. Somehow, however, the 10 plagues and parting of the Red Sea are not dramatic enough for Hollywood. There are dark family secrets, political intrigue, murder, unexpected love, disasters on an unforeseen scale and even a series of wizards duels as the Egyptian priests try to match Moses and Aaron in power. The tale already has the feel of a sprawling epic and is set against the backdrop of one of the most iconic and powerful empires in the ancient world. This is true even for the story of the Exodus. Even some of the most exhilarating and dramatic stories in human history need some doctoring in Hollywood’s collective eyes. This is true even when it comes to stories that are already thrilling. Everything will be made more dramatic, more shocking, more exciting in order to be seen as a better fit for the silver screen. No one in their right mind expects a Hollywood film to be accurate.
