Ten Commandments (1956)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Cecil B. DeMille
Starring: Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter
Visible crew/equipment: At the start of the Exodus, the Narrator states, "After the stifling night of terror, came a day such as the world had," and just as the Narrator continues to say, "never seen," a crew member wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and dark pants is visible walking in the background, at the right side of the screen.
Trivia: The baby Moses was played by Fraser Heston, Charlton Heston's son.
Question: As Rameses is getting dressed by his servants, Nefretiri stops one servant and takes a sword from him. The shot then cuts to Rameses getting dressed and then Nefretiri comes to give him the sword. What exactly did she do with it: did she stab her dead son (who is placed on that statue), or did she do something else?
Answer: I have always thought she stabbed her dead son. It's obvious she does something with it other than just give it to Rameses.
She doesn't do anything other than give him the sword. She's trying to dramatically convince Ramses to kill Moses. In countless stories, one character will tell another character to kill someone while handing them a weapon.
Answer: She didn't do anything with it. She took the sword so she could help dress her husband herself.
Answer: She gave the sword to Ramses and told him to bring it back with Moses' blood on it.
