Surely this all i ever wanted.. all i ever wanted..
This movie was so fucking kino, I rewatched it for the first time since I was a kid just a year ago and was completely blown away. So many genuinely cinematographic shots like damn, the whole thing is staged like a golden age movie.
>DreamWorks' animation division opened for business on February 1995>The Prince of Egypt premiered on December 1998It took a long time to make
>>150957688Yeah I saw it again fairly recently and it blew me away too. So many things you notice once you have a better grasp of movie framing. Like this shot with Ramses is a callback to a previous scene of his father talking about the legacy they leave behind and being larger than life. But we can also see Ramses' insecurities from earlier reflected in how he made his statue much larger than his dad's. There are a lot of great shots in the whole film.
>>150957646is that an iron kopesh?
>>150958236Nah that's just the reflecting light in that frame, you can see in other shots that it's made out of bronze.
>>150958023Most movies take a long time to make. Especially animated ones.
>>150958023kys sharkfag
Shrek is better
>>150958023>less than 4 year turnaround from the entire division being created to this movie being releasedthat isn't bad at all.i'd say ~4 to 5 years is the minimum of "took too long to make" for anything animated, especially during the era before widespread computer animation.
I'm more of an Antz/Shrek guy than a Prince of Egypt guy
>>150957646wtf i was just rewatching this exact scene, unprompted, 2 hours ago
Do you think Ramses ever fucked moses when they were young?
>>150957646>>150958297SOME JEW BOY ONCE TOLD METHE LORD IS GONNA ROLL ME
>>150958297They're both good.

>>150958572EVERY ELDEST SON IS DEAD
>>150958768WELLTHE PLAGUES KEEP COMINGAND THEY DON'T STOP COMINGFROGS EVERYWHERE AND THE NILE'S RED RUNNING
>>150958236I mean they did have Iron back then too.
>>150958942SO WHAT THE JEWS CANNOT BE FREESO WHAT'S WRONG WITH LIVING IN SLAVERY?
>>150958942DIDN'T MAKE SENSE THAT THE LORD HAD WONLIFE DON'T MEAN MUCH WHEN YOU'VE LOST YOUR SON
>>150958950yes, but you have to forge iron.
>>150958738Better than Prince of Egypt? Seriously?
>>150957646>>150957688Back when animation had soul
>>150958738>Hey I had a dream some cows died>THERE WILL BE A GREAT FAMINE>By Ra, Joseph, thank you! Please fuck my wife!
>>150957646Those curvy Egyptian swords are so badass. Why didn't other cultures use them?
>>150959593They only really made sense for a specific period of warfare, axes were just superior afterwards.
>>150959593assyrians had something similar and there were African sickle swords that were kind of similar.
>>150959593the kopesh was basically the sword ausf A, made by extending farming sickles out longeronce metalworking got good enough to make a straight blade, the kopesh was phased out
>>150957646They should have made a movie about Joshua, or Job. Heck, a proper movie about King David post Goliath, or Solomon
Katzenberg was able to get a few Disney members for his 2D division
>>150959546Shut up thirdie
>>150958539>we’re not really related, you know
>>150957646Sometimes I wonder where Dreamworks would've been if they stuck to 2D instead of going into 3D
>>150959916The only real christians are from third world countries

Interesting year

>>150960002now this is some PREMIUM thirdie cope lmao
Prince of Egypt has amazing animation, but it isn't like it was animated by a crew of amateurs. It's literally the same animation crew as these movies.
>>150960162
>>150958297>t. the weak link
>But "Sinbad" may be the failure that stings most. After all, Jeffrey Katzenberg, a founder of DreamWorks, is a former Disney executive who revived that company's animation department with hits like "The Lion King" and brokered the distribution partnership between Disney and Pixar that has yielded animated hits like "Toy Story" and "Monsters, Inc.">"Sinbad" may exemplify a market that has changed faster than even animation pros like Mr. Katzenberg could have anticipated. As a traditional-style hand-drawn animated feature, the movie took four years to make, a period in which audiences have come to prefer computer-animated comedies like "Shrek," an Academy Award-winner made by DreamWorks, to serious animated action adventures.>Disney's hand-drawn "Treasure Planet," which bombed last winter, had perhaps given DreamWorks a sign of the apathy "Sinbad" might face, even though the popular actresses Michelle Pfeiffer and Catherine Zeta-Jones joined Brad Pitt in putting words in the characters' mouths.>"We are extremely disappointed," said Ann Daly, the head of animation for DreamWorks, noting that "Sinbad" would be the studio's last traditionally drawn film. From now on, DreamWorks will use computers to animate its movies. Even Mr. Katzenberg concedes that the art form on which he made his reputation may be obsolete.>"I think the idea of a traditional story being told using traditional animation is likely a thing of the past," he said. Among other factors, Mr. Katzenberg said, fast-evolving technology is making it easier to create images that a few years ago could only be drawn by hand.>The studio has much hope riding on the two computer animation movies set for next year: a sequel to the comedic "Shrek" and the much anticipated "Sharkslayer," a wise-cracking undersea adventure about organized crime.
>>150958977My brother once asked could I let his people pass? They need to get themselves away from this place I said no. Won't let them go. Need some monuments for show and you could all use a little painnnn
>>150960162... So?
>>150957646whoa cool egyptian sword
>>150958738I don't think it is as good but it has a decent song for sure. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jJJcacnGVI
>>150962363>2:27
>>150962421go back to sucking dick on reddit
>>150957646The dream sequence that follows this song always creeped me out
>>150962363That animation is atrocious
>>150959769It is an awfully cool aesthetic, though, isn't it? I wish they showed up more in fantasy cartoons. Especially cool if you've got a character using two of them at once.
>>150957646jew power fantasy
>>150957646>>150957688>>150958262>>150963940Prince of Egypt is the better movie, but it still makes me mad how much it overshadows El Dorado which was also excellent, it's like a 10 vs a 8.5, yet Dorado is exponentially less lauded
>>150964041Eh, historical, religious epics always get a few bonus points in terms of recognition.
>>150958297lol no it isnt
>>150960162Interesting.
>>150959814Honestly, what about the Gospels? The Chosen, as a show, is showing us how much great drama there is to be had in the Gospels. I wouldn't have minded them getting an animated treatment. A fair treatment, a very accurate treatment, that leaves nothing out.
>>150957646he looks like a nortubel character
>>150964699Honestly, Paul alone would make a good movie.
>>150959814>JobCan that book even be adapted without taking extreme creative liberties?>Job's life is ruined for basically no reason>Tries be faithful but it's hard>Toxic friends visit and make things worse, just argue with him about shit>Job just sits and sulks wishing he was dead otherwise>Challenges God on why this happened, and promptly gets flashbanged with a tour of life and universe>"...Oh, okay I guess">Things just go back to normal and he gets a new family + more land and wealthI don't think Job really works as a traditional narrative. At least a story like Samson can kinda be molded into a Greek Tragedy, or Jonah's tussle with the whale like an episode out of the Odyssey
>>150964699The Testament series does a decent job about such imo
This story is so messed up. They're just Jews who are bitter towards the Egyptians, so they made up this fantasy where the Egyptians were punished and other crap. This version is based on the 1930 Hollywood movie that already takes stuff from Ben Hur.
>>150964767Job is a reply to pagan beliefs. Because pagan morality was "if I can take it, I can take better care of it" and their belief was "if I am successful, I am favored by gods and holy." God marks Job's toxic friends as sinners for sharing this belief and conditions their forgiveness on Job's prayer.This is the reward Job receives and why Satan wanted to discredit him as God's good servant. Satan had performed mental gymnastics to get permission from God to test Job. Job gets from God authority to judge and forgive sinners.New Testament says it outright that God wants to put us on thrones alongside His and let us boss around angels with Him. This is why Satan hates us, and he hated Job as much.Adaptation of Job requires spelling this out throw world building. One of villains could be a pagan warlord who serves Satan and invades Job's land. Job's friends could help him escape from him, but once Job gets sick, they want to distance themselves from Job and start blaming him for his own fate. And once God gives Job authority to judge and forgive sins, we get to see Satan seething.
>>150965194Common Egyptians gave Jews riches when they were leaving. All the plagues had explicit warnings. The Scripture only doesn't mention it for the last one.But given how Egyptians reacted, it is safe to assume that after all previous plagues they have figured it out that they should be asking Moses for what is coming next, and they secured themselves. The last plague hit only Pharaoh and his loyalists, the people responsible for genocide of Jewish sons.
>>150957646All I've ever neededIs hereIn mah heart
>>150965349Okay but your post is nothing but a fanfic.
>>150965372>The last plague hit only Pharaoh and his loyalists, You didn't read the bible
>>150965349>throw
>>150964702I'm not seeing it..
>>150965372>The last plague hit only Pharaoh and his loyalistsThat's not true at all
>>150965587>fanficNo, I don't lack religious media literacy >Job 42:7-8God gives Job authority to forgive his friends' sin with his prayers>Matthew 19:28Jesus talks about thrones alongside his (the context is that the rich young man has forsaken this by not following Jesus)>Luke 22:29-33Jesus once again talks about thrones and warns Peter that Satan wants to test them, much like when he wanted with Job>1 Corinthians 6:3Confirmation we will also judge/boss around angelsEverything ties together.
>>150966593Then explain the portion where Egyptians were giving Jews gold on their way out.Your quote does not contradict what I said. It was time for Egyptians to pick a side between claiming to be lord of life and death pharaoh and the God who has already sent all his previous plagues as His proof and warning. Either they mark their doors or, regardless of place and position, they will be hit with the final plague.
>>150966652>Then explain the portion where Egyptians were giving Jews gold on their way outBecause it's fiction, anon.
>>150957646This movie has a pretty inconsistent stance on the ethics of child murder
DreamWorks wasn't messing around
>>150966652>Then explainI don't have to explain anything. Your claim was that only Pharoh and his loyalists were affected by the final curse, which the Bible openly contradicts. As to why the Egyptian people have them "gifts" on their way out? Every translation I can find makes it sound more like they robbed them as they were leaving and the Egyptians just gave it up, probably because at this point they were terrified of themYou don't have to whitewash the events of Exodus, Anon. The Old Testament is full of stuff like this
>>150965349Wow, 4chan christians are as bad at understanding the bible as reddit atheists at understanding science.
The other DreamWorks movie from 1998 is more entertaining, thanks to a stronger script.
