The movie
Prince of Egypt
(1998) opens with the culling of the Hebrew slaves' newborn
sons
and introduces the hero, Moses, as a baby sent into the river by his mother in hopes
of
saving him. We witness the adoption of Moses into the royal family, and we
are aware that his
sister, Miriam, knows that the second prince of Egypt is
her younger brother.
There is a time skip, and we see
Moses and his elder adopted brother, Ramses, as
mischievous young princes.
Later, we are introduced to Tzipporah, who was captured in the desert
and
given to Moses by his brother. When she escapes from the palace, Moses follows her and
runs
into his biological siblings. His sister, Miriam, attempts to convince
him of their sibling
relationship, but he refuses to believe her until she
sings their mothers lullaby, introduced at
the very beginning of the film,
and Moses flees.
Moses then returns to the
palace and
confirms the truth of his past with his adoptive parents, but he also learns of
the
atrocities...
