The Ten Commandments

A thoughtful contrast is made between the carpenter brother and his mother, who emphasizes strict obedience and fear of God. The film also shows the mother's strict lawful morality to be flawed in comparison to her son's version. Danny becomes a corrupt contractor who builds a church with shoddy concrete, pocketing the money saved and becoming very rich. To make money, he steals pearls from his mistress, and when she fights back, he kills her.
