Do you think the director tried too hard to make a sympathetic character out of a slave owner?

No
Jacob Rodriguez
Yeah, it was unnecessary. He's a slave owner, he's already sympathetic.
Noah Sanchez
They spent a good amount of time showing him in a positive light tho
Nathan Cook
its more complex than that user

>Wanting to live up to your father's expectations
>Get's called the weakest link
>Thus begins the process of his heart hardening
>Brother goes missing most likely dead
>Your brother comes back and tells you to let the slaves go
>Remembers when his dad called him the weakest link
>Doubles down even harder
Jason Hernandez
It is what made the movie good. Otherwise it would have been the stereotypical good brother and evil brother dichotomy.
Lucas Scott
He grew up into that life. Knowing he'd own and rule all these people as he grew up. Then, the one person to stand against him is his own brother, whom he loved dearly.
Brother vs Brother stories really get me.
Eli Richardson
He had no one to prove he;s not to. His dad was dead.
Matthew Ortiz
Prince of Egypt is kind of the tragedy of Ramses.
Samuel Jenkins
He had an entire empire and people to prove, a wife and son as well. A son which God/his brother later took from him
Zachary Kelly
He was raised his entire life being taught the lineage of those who came before him and how those who came after him would do the same. His power comes with the responsibility of his deeds - his successes and his failures - being recorded for all time. It's not hard to see the pressure he lived under, his position in society necessitates every action be undertaken and decision made in light of the legacy it would leave and how it would reflect on his ancestors.
Aiden Allen
Egyptians are kinda known for their strong belief in an afterlife. Just because his dad died didn’t mean he couldn’t still judge him.
Also his dad had made a good point about how if Ramses fucked up hard enough, it’d be his only legacy in the history books, and every future generation for all time would hate him for it.
Christopher Allen
Christ O'Fuck user just because his dad is dead doesn't mean the bruised ego and pride aren't still there. Just because someone dies doesn't mean the actions they committed instantly vanish.
Austin Myers
This and the fact that Moses had no problem with slavery once either. It shows you that Ramses could've changed
Gavin Flores
Moses had no problem in till he realized that it was his race that were being kept as slaves
Sebastian Allen
Ramses could've had the same realization
The brother that he loves could've been a slave
Robert Morgan
Yeah and Moses stood by as God slayed the first born of every Egyptian there, but you sympathize even more with the plight because terrible measures must be made to make progress and gain freedom. You're just showing how naive you are here. Ramses reigns over an empire of slaves but he had something immense to prove to his father and, in a sense, to future generations who would be looking back on his legacy. It's even more tragic when you realize that in his attempt to be a strong leader and not give in he sullies his legacy even more by allowing horrible tragedies to inflict the people that look to him for guidance. I mean, would you want to Ramses with Egypt under occupation by a wrathful God?
Brody Davis
Goddamn, i can't stand this movie's character designs. They're not appealing in the slightest
Nathan James
This is possible. But historically a lot of people adopted slave children and grew to love them without coming to critique keeping slaves
They look realistic to me.
Connor Morales
What are some character designs that you like?
Cameron Mitchell
This shit was so stiff and boring looking. Say what you will about the Reinassance films, but at least those had some cartoony movements and expressions that made some use of the medium.
Ryder James
This is a clueless criticism. The Bible calls Christians slaves.
Also, if you've ever purchased Nike shoes or... say... watched cartoons animated in Korea, you've benefited from slave labor.
Xavier Howard
Certainly not these ones. This may be polished animation, but it's still soulless.
Nolan Scott
This mf is saying Prince of Egypt didn't make use of the medium
Robert Flores
Not as far its character animation is concerned, and that's the problem. Disney always knew to have some cartoony animation to compensate for its generic designs, but Dreamworks and Bluth couldn't even get that right. Stuff like Anastasia, El Dorado, Titan AE and Sinbad were miserable experiences for me. If you like them, then more power to you.
Brayden Evans
>soulless.
I don't even worship these abrahamic desert dwellers but this is better than Mulan.
Carter Wood
It's all visually impressive spectacle, but it lacks real substance and real heart imo. I'm sorry, but i didn't like PoE. I really tried to like it, but something didn't click. Maybe it was the quick pacing, or the weak songs, or the character designs and personalities. Whatever it was, i didn't like it
Blake Thompson
It’s brown people owning other brown people so who cares.
Nathan Hughes
Nah this movie is amazing shut up
Jack Thomas
Rule number 1 for animators : Don't draw these kind of expressions. They're ugly
Lucas Bell
Rule number 1 for retards: Learn how to take screenshots
Brody Clark
What’s wrong with making the antagonist more complex and human?
Blake Garcia
Zig Forums once again going full retard, nitpicking frames that have nothing wrong.
Hey OP, you will lose your mind once you discover slavery is still very much alive.
