The film brilliantly uses his relationship with Rameses to humanize him. Their brotherhood is real. When Moses warns Rameses about appearing weak, he does so out of love, not malice. This bond will become the film’s emotional anchor and the source of Moses’ greatest agony. At this stage, Moses’ flaw is a willful blindness to the suffering beneath his feet.
