I knew the story, but didn't want to watch the movie for some reason. I can appreciate now, it was well worth nearly four hours of my time.

Where is "Passion of the Christ" or something similar for Christians? Moses was a pivotal figure in both our histories, but there would be no Easter without Calvary.
