Charlton Heston and the Ten Commandments

Charlton Heston

The Ten Commandments Movie, starring Charlton Heston, Cecil Demille, Yul Brennyer. This drama is a profound Bible Epic which describes the story of Moses from his birth to his profound leadership in leading the Children of Israel out of Egypt. The movie won Oscars and profound special effects at the parting of the Red Sea. The movies was a smashing success at the box office and is still a popular movie today. The success may be due to the following of 2 directives of the Bible. In Deuteronomy Chapter 4, special direction is given to teach our sons and our sons' sons. "Specially the day thou stood before the Lord thy God in Horeb', "and the mountain burned with fire", "and he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the 10 commandments, and he wrote them upon two tables of stone". From Deuteronomy 4: 9-13. Also in Deuteronomy 6:9 the Ten Commandments are the only verses of scripture commanded to be posted in our homes and in public places (gates). "And thous shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates." The importance of these two directives may be a factor in the interest and the record numbers of people who saw this movie.

When casting the role of Moses, Charlton Heston was chosen as Moses because of of his striking Physical resemblance to Michelangelo's sculpture of Moses. His strong and handsome facial features seemed to fit that of a prince.

Cecil DeMille gave the role of Rameses as he thought that Yul Brynner personally reflected a stubborn, handsome, arrogant, and heir to the Egyptian throne. This was demonstrated in Rodgers & Hammerstein's THE KING AND I.
