Behold His Mighty Hand

The Ten Commandments is perhaps the greatest bad movie of all time. With such an accomplished cast put in the service of a turgid script and the resources to deliver spectacle on a grand scale, how could it be anything else? What might not be as obvious until you watch it year after year (as I do, thanks to ABC) is that it may also be one of the most anti-Semetic movies ever. Seriously, with the exception of Moses and his right-hand man Joshua, the Jewish people are consistently depicted as a bunch of weak-willed ninnies ready to give up and/or stone Moses the minute things get a bit rough. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if members of the KKK felt it was a bit over the top. However, this epiphany leaves one key question unanswered - will I still watch it next year? Stay tuned.
