...portraying an entirely different time and culture with different standards of morality.

If we want to judge by the standards of the times, the Hebrews had been invited to Egypt as guests originally. Even by the standards of the time enslaving them was wrong, and Moses working to free his own people was right.

The movie isn't, like, a serious anthropological examination of ancient Egyptian culture. It's a kids' movie about a story from the Bible. And it's also not really one that sides with the Egyptians - Moses is the protagonist, we sympathize with him, Ramses is generally presented as being, not a villain, but certainly overly proud and in the wrong. OP was the one who described Ramses, in the movie (not in history or mythology), as being placed in "an impossible situation" by the demand to free the Hebrew slaves. Since they happened to bring it up, I don't agree with them or their characterization of the movie that was made in 1998.
