i may be get ahead of myself here and but although the film itself be a technical masterpiece for it time and i watch it piece by piece on tcm last night and the question arise to me represent why do they do that . put their life in jeopardy and many of them die on the trek and why would they undertake such a life endanger journey and just to find food for their animal ( . ) once they reach the land of milk and honey and why do not they just stay there . would you endanger your life and and that of your entire community and just to find food for a herd of cattle . as dangerous a it be and to do it for that purpose alone and show the inbred simplicity of these type of people . risk death for a cow . good them than i .
