"But, Moses, didn’t you see what happened? The priests did the same thing. Pharaoh still has the power over our lives."
"Yes, Aaron, it’s true. Pharaoh has the power. He can take away your food, your home, your freedom. He can take away your sons and daughters. With one word, Pharaoh can take away your very lives. But there is one thing he cannot take away from you: Your faith."
#somehowyouwill#tianasweets#the prince of egypt#aaron#moses#my gifs#new stuff#8feb2018#i made this over a month ago#(before i lost my account)#and been turning my stomach to knots trying to decide if i want to post it#tag dissertation coming up#because just: so many things about this moment#i really feel for the hebrew people and the pain they're in#and the way that aaron#is speaking up for his people's distress/needs as well as his own#and the woman#whom moses walks by in gif 4...#the look on her face and his reaction.#all this kind of vulnerability that i empathize with irl and in the characters i love#but it's the(ir) strength/resilience too and wanting them to see things through.#also the way moses starts off by saying 'rameses' (gif 1) and shifts to 'pharaoh'#and what it all means that rameses is the one carrying on this legacy of suffering.#(for ex it always makes me think abt how wide the gulf is betw aaron and rameses)#and of course the speech.#and the dynamic betw aaron and moses;; oh my heart#this part of the movie is many things all at once but i've already hit the tag limit#anyway i purposely made the gifs textless bc i wanted to focus on the characters#their expressions and gestures#the shift of a shoulder and the hitch of breath
