Was this film meant to be pro-Jew?

Yes. I suggest reading the book of Esther. It's considered to be a folk tale in Jewish culture that is part of the Tanakh.

Also, I don't know whether or not they are "skewed up morals", but the flashback to the time of Saul is a parallel to the story of Esther. King Saul and Mordecai are both son's of men named Kish (2 different Kish's, but the men share the same name) and descendants of the same tribe of Israel, Benjamin. Haman, is a direct descendant from King Agag, the sworn enemy of Saul. The Agagites (Amelekites) and the Israelites are enemies. Mordecai and Haman are descendants of them. King Saul was ordered by Samuel (the prophet of the time) who was ordered by god to kill all the Amelekites and plunder their belongings. He spared Agag and his wife, along with some of their bounty (which is why Samuel calls Saul a fool). God was angry w/ Saul for disobeying his order, and Saul was eventually killed for it.

Haman is also not meant to be seen as a person whos "vision and focus" were impressive. He cared about nothing, including the king, except getting power. He literally does whatever he needs to in order to get some power. The man is the equivalent of Hitler. Narcissism is not impressive.

Also it wasn't genocide per se because they weren't destroying a whole race, just a city, and since one of the major reasons for this was that the Agagites practiced child sacrifice, it's safe to say the Jews weren't committing wholesale slaughter of children - there weren't many left alive by their own parents.
Saul also wasn't necessarily supposed to kill the pregnant mother on the spot - they could have let the child be born and raised it as one of their own. The logistical mistake was in letting her escape altogether, besides the blatant theological error of disobedience as has also been pointed out.




The easiest answer is rarely the best one, and the best answer usually makes everyone mad.

The Amalekites where part Nephilim, that's the context that's missing.

On a side note... She wasn't Haman's mother. She was his ancestor.
