[From Rebecca Solnit]
Always odd that people don't seem to recognize that this most dreamily beautiful and tragic of cinematic masterpieces has the exact plot of Abraham and Sarah in Egypt. The reviewer mentions Biblical plagues without knowing that this business of the husband passing his wife off as a sister for opportunistic/safety reasons when they enter a new land is in Genesis (the plague of locusts in the film is the clincher). Part of the beauty of the film is the vast sweep of light and land, but also the very young Sam Shepard and Richard Gere and Brooke Adams.
Genesis:
Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land. 11 And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Indeed I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance.
12 Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Please say you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that [a]I may live because of you.”
14 So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful. 15 The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to Pharaoh’s house. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake. He had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

I just saw the movie “Days of Heaven” and I’m convinced now that if you put a bunch of pretyy nature footage I will go crazy. Like just show one horse and you guaranteed at least 4 stars in my eyes
