Scott did not accurately portray the biblical version of the Hebrew Exodus. Many things portrayed in the movie either didn’t happen in the bible or were very different than the Exodus.

These are a few of the problems that lead the movie away from the text. In the Exodus passage‚ Moses was a timid man and when God first asked him to go to

Ren‚ in both movies‚ is involved in gymnastics and is a good dancer. The Ren in the newer movie gives us more insight into how he feels about the law. Being accused of being the “Bad influence” in a small town starts earlier in the newer movie than in the older version. By the end of both

Fight Like a Girl This essay will offer a feminist analysis of sexism in superhero comic books‚ a topic I explore in my recent podcast on female representation in comics. I will “examine how comic books reinforce or undermine the economic‚ political‚ social‚ and psychological oppression of women” As part of my research‚ I conducted a very unscientific survey where I asked the question‚ “Is there sexism in superhero comic books?"

"The Hustler" Most movies that come out today are practicable‚ I’m not saying that this is bad thing‚ but in the movie "The Hustler" the unsuspecting scene’s drove the movie. I really enjoyed watching this movie and I was really surprised to enjoy a film this much that was made in 1961. Robert Rossen was the director of this movie‚ and I thought he did a wonderful job picking out the cast for this film. Every character was believable‚ and they all played excellent roles‚ but the role of "Fast"
