Moses is a figure mentioned numerous times in human history. The prophet is revealed important not only to Jews but also to Muslims. Your life has already led to several film productions, but this time is leading to great controversy
In Egypt and Morocco, the film “Exodus: Gods and Kings.”, Ridley Scott’s authors – the same director of film ‘Gladiator’ – was censored. How Come? The kingdom of Morocco did not appear any official explanation. However, on the Egyptian side is a different story.
Quoted by the newspaper The Watan , the charge of the Committee of Censorship of the Ministry of Culture of Egypt, Abdel Sattar Fathi, who said Biblical feature film presents a “distorted” view of the prophet and contains’ historical fallacies. ” In the movie, Moses – played by actor Christian Bale – emerges as a general.
In addition, the fact that the slaves coming from Promised Land are presented as the builders of the Great Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza is indignant Egypt. After all, is historically accepted by the vast majority, that the construction of these monuments, as iconic of the Pharaonic period, occurred before the existence of Abraham and therefore the coming of the Jewish people to Egypt.
“We had to ban it without consulting any other entity,” concluded the head of the Egyptian censorship body, explaining that he could not tolerate an attempt to ‘manipulation’ of the Al-Quran.
