...Museum of Fine Arts, Mary Cassatt: Modern Woman, seems somewhat paradoxical. For Mary Cassatt, being modern meant choosing her own path and creating works of art often strikingly different from the Impressionist "standard." Like her male counterparts, she departed from traditional subjects, but only a few of her works portray the public scenes or working people so common among other Impressionists. Instead, the vast majority of Cassatt's paintings show scenes from the private lives of women and children, employing the softness of Impressionistic style to convey tender feminine moments and quiet times in the household...

...another sticky problem: how to make Rameses II, considered the greatest of Pharaohs, more than a one-dimensional villain. In fact, Katzenberg says, the filmmakers returned from an early field trip to Egypt so impressed with the majesty of the pyramids that "we found ourselves not wanting to simply portray Rameses as the bad guy." Casting Rameses as a contemporary of Moses' enabled the filmmakers to show him as a loving adopted brother who wants to carry on the great legacy of his father...
