each and every movie about Moses rounds the edges and simply omits the parts of the Tanakh that don't go well with Christian point of view? Quoting Exodus:
'But I myself shall make Pharaoh stubborn. I myself shall make him obstinate. He will not let you go until I have stretched out my arm and struck Egypt. I shall lay my hand on Egypt and with great acts of judgment.' 'I shall ensure that the Egyptians are so impressed with this people that when you go, you will not go empty-handed. Every woman will ask her neighbor for silver and golden jewelry, and clothing. In these you will dress your own sons and daughters, despoiling the Egyptians of them.'
So basically, a Jewish tribal god wants to exact as much revenge as possible on those who dared to torment his nation, then rob them, lead their king to the trap at the Red Sea and destroy him. Nothing surprising about this: Yahweh IS a cruel and brutal deity, unlike your forgiving, liberal, comfy Jesus. So why are the movie-makers so inconsistent? If they have a right to develop the story further, adding details to the short Biblical text, why are they afraid to face the truth and show it how it is?
