After they started singing When You Believe and all the way until the end I couldn't stop crying...happy tears, but nonetheless weeping.
Anyone else feel this way toward the end of the movie?
No, but I've gotten really close.

ALWAYS.
I thought I was the only one until I checked the IMDB page and saw this.
YES, at the start, and whenever the slaves are working and basically any other part.
It's because I believe it was true, as do other Jews and Christians, and Muslims like me.
No. Nothing very sad about it. I always want to during the first song though, and when the guy is whipping the old man.
I try to be like Grace Kelly, but all her looks were too
"Nothing very sad about it"
Are you *kidding*?
It is, to an extent, one of the most tragic stories ever told. It is a tale of what would drive a god against his own creation. And the saddest part is that Rameses was born and raised into the system. To him he acted morally and rightly all along, and his upbringing made it impossible for him to understand.
I cry, but not during that part. I actually cry towards the beginning during "Deliver us" because of the stirring vocals of Ofra Haza and the sad realization she is no longer with us.

I never cried at this movie... until I saw "Deliver Us" with the Hebrew dubbing. I think it's because that made it all real to me: these are my ancestors, speaking my language (as we know they actually did), getting horribly beaten and slaughtered... oy.

I cry at the beginning almost every time I watch it. I usually can hold it together until his mom cries when she's watching his basket floating away.
MetFanMac, has the language changed much in the past few thousand years?
The Torah (Pentateuch) has remained unchanged since its writing and we can still read it today with barely any complications. The only other language I can think of that's comparable is the Icelandic runes.

I don't know that god was turning against Ramses. God gave Ramses a choice. He just kept making the wrong ones. So God inflicted punishment on him. It is sad. The Hebrews were inslaved out of fear and greid. Pharoh thinking they were becoming to populated and would take over egypt. If he had never in slaved them he would not have feer of a revolt.
Yes and you also have to feel for Moses too he was conflicted and in pain as well. Between two cultures. One he was raised buy and the other he was born into. Moses was bound to a people and to a god. It still tore him up to do what he had to do to get what was right freedom for the hebrews from his egyptian brother who he loved and always would love in his heart. You see him go back to the water at the end and say out brother a couple of times and tears in eyes. He hears Ramses cry out Moses.
This movie is amazing! I have always loved it even as an adult! The whole movie is moving and makes me cry happy tears.
