The River Boat Scene

FULL OF THE BIBLE



Apart form the amazing cinematography, the use of light and dark, shadow and streaming moonlight, the song and music are magnificent. Anyways here are some of the things i see in this scene alone, never mind the whole film.

Moses in the Bulrushes
Moses in escapes in a boat/basket
Pharoah kills the Israelite Children
The Constant repetiiton of the word 'Children'
The Jospsh and Mary look of the Kids escaping form Herod carrying the treasure doll - Christ child
Mitchums devilish roar as the children escape - the slaying of the innocents
The boat as an ark
The Christ at the rear of the boat
The stars fighting in the heavens
Children flying away- from Curses- snare of the spider - plagues-frogs
Continual pursuance of the enemy
Safe in the boat- safe on the flowing river
Arriving the the bleating of sheep - pasture- peace and sleep and provision
arriving to a song of safety
mention of home - john- the apostle of love - the protector of Mary - resting on the breast of Jesus
Arrival in stable
Climbing Jacobs ladder to safety
BUT the devil never sleeps and is in Constant pursuance and so after a brief rest the 'PEARL' of great price is moved on yet again
