Since the Christmas Approaches thread is pretty much historical now, lets get back up to speed...
Egypt bans the latest Hollywood blockbuster citing 'historical inaccuracies'...
Report: 'Exodus' banned in Egypt due to 'historical mistakes' | Inside Movies | EW.com
Because....'they portrayed Moses as a General and not as a prophet'.....but hey..at least they don't dispute the locusts, the local river turning the colour of a rich Merlot, a benevolent deity sending his white winged soldiers (portrayed so benignly with golden glittering halo on the xmas cards on your walls) to
MURDER the first born innocents of a whole
NATION to prove the Dark Knights point, or someone with a grey beard parting the Red Sea with a stick..so I guess according to Egypt Hollywood gets some of it's facts right...(Game of Thrones eat your heart out on the complexities of Exodus.)
Then again Churchill disputed the well known fact that Errol Flynn single handedly recaptured Burma...so Brits have no right to criticise..

I'm just so glad that I grew up in a time when belief was suspended, when all that I worried about on Christmas
(NOT XMAS) day was if my U2 batteries would last until the shops opened and that there was an Errol Flynn/John Wayne film after the Queens speech that made me
SUSPEND belief and enjoy it for the pure hokum that it was....
The world today...cyberwarriors destroying a childs christmas day, university created politicians who do not understand that we
KNOW how to
SUSPEND belief....
Just what have we left for the next generations Christmas Day?
