Prince of Egypt


a video review




Prince of Egypt
By Charlie T.

The educational Video is about a boy’s mother who saved her child’s life by putting the baby in a basket and putting the basket in a river. The basket drifted off and some ladies were standing near the river. One lady saw the basket and picked it up, then took him home with her. The boy's name is Moses. The lady who found him already had a son named Rameses.

As soon as they were all grown up they were always in trouble, but every time that the two boys did that wrong thing together only Rameses would be the one that got punished. Moses tried to tell his father that he had done it, too. The father would never listen to him. And so the story begins.

Hey! Let's race back to the palace, Rameses and Moses said together. So the race began. Rameses was in the lead, Moses catching up. Around their father's statue, the nose falls down, down to the ground. Crash, it brakes into thousands of little pieces.

“Rameses, Moses, COME HERE NOW!” yelled their father, the king of Egypt. “Coming father," they yell back. Yes, father, what is it that you need? said Moses. I can’t believe you, Rameses. I thought that I brought you up better than that. We're sorry, father, they said together. Moses, you aren't the one who started this, are you?
Well...Father...we...kind...of...did...it...together.

The mother of Rameses and of Moses said, Rameses, we’ve been waiting for you. For what, mother? Your father is passing down the leedership of the king of Egypt. NO WAY!!! You're kidding, right!? No, you are the king now. Well, I’d like to pass the prince up to be the next king. Thank you, Rameses! Rameses, you have the honor of this woman. No, I’d like to pass this chance to Moses.

The woman is not happy that she is getting treated like a toy that no one likes or being passed around man to man. Moses, you're not going to let her speak to you like that, are you? Young lady, that is not the proper way to speak to a king of Egypt, now is it? Rameses then ordered for the women to be put in Moses’s room.

She runs away. Moses kills a man. Moses runs away and finds the woman and her family. Moses then gets married to the woman.
