The film segments look memorable and visually engaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who has seen The Ten Commandments <\/i>as a child was well aware of the more epic elements of the tale,\u201d producers Emre Sahin and Kelly McPherson told Netflix<\/a>. \u201cThe burning bush, the plagues, Passover, the Red Sea, and, of course, the Ten Commandments. What really drew us in was the mystery of Moses\u2019 inner life, his struggles with his own identity, his self-doubt, his humanness.\u201d<\/p>\n
