It’s so much that despite the the work that went into it, I have a very hard time recommending the film these days. If you ask me, the film is flawed and I only grew to recognize the flaws as I became more religious. In theory, it could be appropriate viewing but that depends on who one talks with. In any event, shuls are closed and thus, The Ten Commandments may also feel like appropriate viewing heading into the holiday. Inside Israel, the holiday will end on Friday. The holiday celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Starting tonight through sundown on Saturday evening, Jews living in the diaspora will be celebrating Shavuot. Demille’s The Ten Commandments (1956) is hailed as an epic, the lengthy film does not come without its own flaws.
