Review of The Egyptian (1954) by Stcenterprise . — 24 Nov 2015
It is unique that this story is told from a doctors perspective in the fact that a doctor tends to interact with all sorts of kind of life. Therefore all aspects of life are seen in this film.
It covers themes such as Egyptian religion, love, deception, greed, power, poverty,.
The physician is stupid in this film for handing over all his valuable possessions eventually even his own fathers land to a Babylon women who promises nothing and is greedy.
It also presents different occupations within Egypt and ancient world such as slaves, servants, princes, Pharos, physicians, military leaders, those who barry the dead, cheese makers and more. This story presents rags from riches stories and back again.
Disgusting things such as medical problems concerning Operations or fight scenes in this film are often presented not in detail but are suggested through shadows and sound effects, seen from the distance, or hidden behind objects.
Land of Hittites with iron weapons that prove stronger than Egyptians cooper weapons.
Mary had been in love with the physician resist her love till 3/4 of the film through. Mary is shot by the military by arrow for standing up for her Egyptain Gods.
This films costumes, lighting, sets, and rich colors are all amazing.
The cheese maker turns to work for the army after saving Pharaoh disguised as an ordinary bystander praying to the Egyptian sun god Ra from attacking lion, eventually promoted to head of the Egyptian military. Poisoned Pharaoh to become Pharaoh himself.
He goes from best friend to physician, betrays his lover, and whiling to commit treason to preserve Egypt.
The physician is told that he is the half brother to the pharaoh. He was left in a baby basket floated down the Nile River and adopted by a poor family.
The servant to the doctor eventually bribes the soldiers with everything not to be killed.
The Egyptian military kills all those who believe in the Egyptian Gods for they believe they are responsible for tough times.
The problem I had with the film was how long the film is. It is like 2 hours and 30 minutes long. It could have been split up into two films rather than one long movie.
The Pharaoh is purposely poisoned by drink to avoid a slow and painful death.
The military leader is to become new Pharaoh.
Only the sand will survive.
The film is told from the Physician sent into excel.
