Why weren't there more Jews in Exodous?

[Taverner]

Just a question - I mean this is the Lawrence of Arabia of Israel. THE Israel story. You'd think there wouldn't be a goy in the cast.

But that is not so.

It's a great movie, btw, whatever your thoughts on Israel.

And with Paul Newman passing soon, its one of his better movies.

1. Filmed on the Sabbath?

:shrug:

[Taverner]

2. Ahhh that could be true, but they filmed a lot of it in Israel

And if you've ever been there you can't get a falafel on the Sabbath - EVERYTHING IS FUCKING CLOSED!!!!

3. I thought they were all Jews

I mean, that's why Pharaoh exiled them, right?

Except for Charles Heston, of course....

4. No that's the Ten Commandments you goonie!

:P

5. Uh, I think the question is about the 1960 movie Exodus

In which leading roles were played by goyim such as Sal Mineo and Jill Haworth. But if you look at the cast list

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053804/fullcredits#cast

you'll see that the cast weren't ALL Gentiles.

7. True - and Paul Newman is an example to refute my point

But I would have thought this would be 98% Jewish, considering the content.

But again, this movie is a perfect Rebellion-for-Righteousness story. It's a great story.

Paul Newman pretty much created his true maverick persona with this movie.

Not maverick like John McCain but maverick like Nicolai Tesla.

10. Yeah, the actual Exodus used real Jews.

There could have been more, but they were in slavery.

6. I cry like a baby at this movie

Sal Mineo and Paul Newman were superb

I think this is the first movie I remember affecting me in my life....

8. It's a Bible movie...

Why would there be ANY Jews in it? :shrug:

[Taverner]

11. It's not - it's about the founding of Israel after WWII

Paul Newman plays an Jewish-English Naval Officer who commandeers a group of Holocaust Survivors to Israel.

12. DAMMIT, if I say it's a Bible Movie

it's a GODDAMNED Bible Movie.

Sinner! :o
