Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw "The Ten Commandments" starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner,and the gang on a class trip when I was back in Brooklyn. It was bigger than life to me back then. Over the years, it's lost and gained its luster for me. Now digitally restored, on DVD and played on a 32" HDTV, it was like being transported back to my childhood. Add to that,I'm a Sunday school teacher so sometimes it helps me explain & get through to the younger ones who can barely understand the King James version that is taught by our Pastor.And, let's face it, when the Red Sea parts, it's still one of the COOLEST things on film!
Description of The Ten Commandments
Legendary silent film director Cecil B. DeMille didn't much alter the way he made movies after sound came in, and this 1956 biblical drama is proof of that. While graced with such 1950s niceties as VistaVision and Technicolor, The Ten Commandments (DeMille had already filmed an earlier version in 1923) has an anachronistic, impassioned style that finds lead actors Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner expressively posing while hundreds of extras writhe either in the presence of God's power or from orgiastic heat. DeMille, as always, plays both sides of the fence as far as sin goes, surrounding Heston's Moses with worshipful music and heavenly special effects while also making the sexy action around the cult of the Golden Calf look like fun. You have to see The Ten Commandments to understand its peculiar resonance as an old-new movie, complete with several still-impressive effects such as the parting of the Red Sea. --Tom KeoghGeneral DVDs
