...problem with Fenton's score, Goldenthal found, was that it mirrored the tempo of the movie: slow, almost turgid. Like Elmer Bernstein, who enlivened the ponderous exodus of the Israelites in Cecil B. DeMille's The 10 Commandments with quick, sprightly march music, Goldenthal sought to spice up Jordan's dour vision of vampirism with a sprinkle of harpsichord here, a dash of rock there. "The performances were very slow and metered," he says. "Brad Pitt's delivery was whispery. What the music needed was horseplay, fire; I took any chance I had to get quick music in there...
...before the army of Croatian President Franjo Tudjman. Tudjman's soldiers needed just five days to conquer Krajina, the crescent-shaped region whose Croatian Serb majority seceded from Croatia in 1991 with the help and encouragement of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic. Tudjman's victory last week created the largest exodus of refugees since the Balkan wars began; at the same time, the offensive shook up the region's political and military balance of power, and as a result seemed to create an opportunity for peace.

Regardless of whether it is supported by tangible evidence, the Israelite exodus from Egypt was undoubtedly the beginning of liberation of political thought. And whether it occurred in the time of Ramesses, Egypt was still its birthplace, and mankind...
Anything that researchers learn in Tomb 5 about Ramesses' oldest son, Amen-hir-khopshef, could be especially significant to religious scholars. Although Egyptian records don't even mention the empire's dealings with the troublesome slaves known as the Israelites, Exodus 12: 29 says that "at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon."
