This adds a more realistic, human element to a fairly fanciful story. The relationship Moses and Ramses as brothers who grew up together is rarely explore and this film adds to the story to develop their relationship. It adds humor to a typically somber story and adds drama through its use of humanity. ItвЂ™s hard to reinvent a story that has been told a thousand times, yet somehow this film does that. Wonderfully written, the film adds humor and drama into MosesвЂ™s story. While this film takes some turns from the classic version, every moment adds value to the story and helps retell it more realistically. Beginning as a baby left in the Nile river to be saved from a decree to kill Jewish boys by the Pharaoh, the story follows Moses through life from being a baby to understanding his place as a messenger of God. The film follows the biblical story of Moses. The genre of telenovela brings out emotion in the story that is rarely seen in American retellings of biblical stories. Additionally, this story is typically seen through action films, which erase a lot of the nuance seen in this film. American audiences are missing out on the drama, humor, and overall spectacle that the format brings. A lot of the success of this film can be attributed to the lack of mainstream telenovela-inspired work and actual telenovelas in the US. Written by Paula Richard and Vivian de Oliveira, this Brazilian version has everything.

Following the format of a telenovela, this film is the most fun you can have reliving an often told story. Moses and the 10 Commandments is a unique retelling of the classic, biblical story.
