This weekend, I was intensely working on a project for the Old Testament and the Arts course. I was compiling a portfolio on works of art depicting Moses and the Exodus. In this portfolio, I included the Cecile B. DeMille’s 1956 film The Ten Commandments. While finding clips of this movie on YouTube, and, being the easily distracted person that I am when I am doing homework, I followed a rabbit trail that led me to a video called “10 Things I Hate About Commandments.” What this video does is create a trailer for a teen comedy using clips from The Ten Commandments. I laughed when I watched it and I felt it was quite well done. The clips chosen fit perfectly and they were smoothly edited together, as well as the choices of contemporary music from Usher, Fat Boy Slim, Beyonce, and The Romantics, making it seem more like a contemporary teen comedy. The trailer had a lovely voice over, which sounds quite professional, yet the dialogue just seems too perfect for this trailer for it to be voice-over clips. The final punch-line of this video includes the featured cameo by Samuel L. Jackson (that guy has got to be in everything).
Anyways, enough of me yammering on. Here is the video.
DISCLAIMER: One F-bomb is dropped in this video. If this sort of thing offends you, just leave now.
