I love what they did with the appearance of the Angel of Death in this film. No loud sounds or anything over-dramatic, just a swirl of light, a long brush of wind and small gasps of air representing the end of the firstborn's lives, there and gone in a wave of wind and light. Very creative, and yet at the same time, scary and frightening.

Quick, fast, and gone in a flash before anyone realizes it was there.

Angel of Death: "Damn it the door's locked"

Hmmm out of all the ways a god can show he is the benevolent supreme being... murder, yep murder works ^.^

One may not escape the Angel of Death, nor say to him, 'Wait until I put my affairs in order,' or 'There is my son, my slave: take him in my stead.'"

"There is no man who lives and, seeing the Angel of Death, can deliver his soul from his hand."

for some reason this scene always seemed kinda peaceful to me (until everybody stars screaming in the background)

@fbiuzz Anger is when one feels the emotion of when wrong is done unto them. Hate is when one is extremely repulsed by the actions or presence of another. For example, when a kid does something wrong and refuses to admit it, a father becomes angry and disciplines the kid. Kids can't learn unless there is a punishment that goes along with the lesson. If God hated the people, he would have gotten rid of them from the beginning and create humans that give their total allegiance.

I think there's one thing most people don't realize: what if God doing these seemingly stupid things in the past was simply a means to teach us humans a lesson? Attacking relentlessly will not cause someone to give in until a LOT of damage to innocents is done. Even then, it's bound to cause a need for vengeance in the person that was attacked. So I see it as an intentional 'mistake' for us to learn from, much like all of human history (although mistakes usually aren't intentional).

This always scared the fuck out of me as a kid, most powerful scene in an amazing film.
