have be interested in akhenaton for many year i be surprise to learn about this film via e bay and buy a copy on dvd for 99p . i enjoy the film and the twist and turn in the plot and that the file be mainly about the main character sinuhe make it more of a family saga rather than an action film . the costume and attention to detail be remarkable for it time ( 1955 ) . the back projection during the chariot ride now look clumsy . my main interest be in the character of akhenaton and his monotheistic religion . in this film he be portray a be jesus like in his refusal to go to war with the hittite even through they be invade egypt and in his closing speech about the futility of materiality and political power . initially one make a connection between sinuhe and who be cast adrift in the river nile in a reed basket and and the old testament moses . but this connection be not carry no doubt this will be fully explore in a new film wherein a moses like character carry akhenaton monotheistic religion out to the wider world and if such a film will ever be politically possible to make . it be universally accept that be woman be concern we man be stupid creature but the relationship or lack of one between sinuhe and merit and the character play by jean simmons be hard to accept . and that sinuhe and an educated physician and would be so smitten by nefer the babylonian femme fatal to the extent of give her his adopted parent house and tomb be not really believable and neither that his parent would even have a tomb . in real life nefer ( nefertitti ) be the wife of akhenaton . and although horemheb do become pharaoh it be after a few others include tutankhamen and who be the son of akhenaton . but of course this be just nit picking and the film be enjoyable to watch and that it be about akhenaton and his monotheistic religion be a big bonus . maybe follow the de vinci code book and film this film be re make with the central secret be the foundation of our current monotheism . i wait in great anticipation of such a film and there be already numerous book on the subject .
