** Does God spare Rameses [[CruelMercy to punish him]] by forcing him to live with the consequences of his actions? Because [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou He needed him alive]] for His own purposes? Or did He recognize that Rameses still had the potential to change for the better and decide to give him a chance to redeem himself? And if that's the case, why didn't God also spare the soldiers JustFollowingOrders?

Or was it for Moses's sake, since He knew how painful it was for Moses to turn against his adoptive brother and didn't want to cause him more pain?

** The Egyptian gods, as well. Are they malevolent? Nonexistent? Less powerful than the Abrahamic God? Or simply refusing to help, either as a means of punishment for the Egyptians' crimes or for some [[BlueAndOrangeMorality different reason that's all their own?]] This one, at least, is somewhat encouraged by the film itself as a question and left largely up to the viewer to interpret.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: While a nice song by itself, "When You Believe" comes off as MoodDissonance. Lyrics such as "it's hard to kill" are hard to swallow coming not long after we saw the Angel of Death [[MoodWhiplash do nothing but that]] and seeing Rameses grieving. It also plays to the Egyptians happily seeing off the Hebrews leaving. Those same Egyptians who just lost their firstborns, would obviously be mourning...[[DissonantSerenity not celebrating]].

Added DiffLines:

** "Enough! I will hear no more of this Hebrew nonsense." [[note]]Ramses's dismissal of the plagues affecting his kingdom has seen applied usage to cases surrounding antisemitism and Jewish concerns, as well as more benign cases such as people trying and failing to understand Hebrew speakers.[[/note]]
