The camera begins with a slow, deliberate pan over the chaotic spectacle, focusing on the tense muscles and strained faces of Pharaoh’s soldiers. As the camera sweeps gently from left to right, it captures a soldier, chest-deep in the swirling waters, eyes widened with fear as his outstretched hand reaches desperately for a vanished comrade. The soldier’s face is a tableau of panic, eyebrows raised high on a furrowed forehead, as his mouth forms a silent, desperate call. The waves cascade chaotically over the entire scene, blending soldiers and churning water into a mesmerizing, tumultuous dance. Underneath the dimming twilight sky, the sea appears almost alive with a sentient fury, illuminated by the flickering golden light of dying torches clutched by the few soldiers still above the waterline. The scene immerses us into the palpable tension as if we are balanced at the edge of an inevitable tragic descent. The focus then shifts, zooming in on a swirling eddy that pulls down helmet and armor fragments, symbolic relics of what was, forging an emotional connection that resonates long after vision subsides. Shot on Arri Alexa, printed on Kodak 2383 film print, reminiscent of an epic historic drama that blends visual grandeur with intimate human emotion.
