Exodus (1960 film)

Exodus is a 1960 epic film on the creation of Israel made by Alpha and Carlyle Productions and distributed by United Artists. Produced and directed by Otto Preminger, the film was based on the 1958 novel Exodus by Leon Uris. The screenplay was written by Dalton Trumbo. The film features an ensemble cast, and its celebrated soundtrack music was written by Ernest Gold.

Widely characterized as a "Zionist epic", the film has been identified by many commentators as having been enormously influential in stimulating Zionism and support for Israel in the United States. The Preminger film softened the anti-British and anti-Arab sentiment of the novel, the film remains controversial for its depiction of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and for what some scholars perceive to be its lasting impact on American views of the regional turmoil. It would also become famous for Preminger openly hiring screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who had been blacklisted for a decade for being a Communist and forced to work under assumed names. Together with Spartacus, also written by Trumbo, Exodus is credited with ending the Hollywood blacklist.

Exodus (Andy Hunter album)

Exodus, released in October 2002, is the first full-length album produced by British DJ Andy Hunter°. The music is a sweeping mix of sophisticated techno and electronic dance music. On his website, Hunter° explains how the inspiration for many of the tracks came from the Book of Exodus. Additionally, on the back cover of the CD booklet he writes: "Exodus is a journey into the presence of God; to hunger for God in a passionate way, craving that intimacy and hearing the spirit; to commit everything we are, and to say that we are going to run for and live our lives one hundred-percent; to be movers and shakers for the cause of our love, wherever that leads us... even into the desert of our lives; and to ask questions and find answers of who we are and where we are going..."

The inspiration for the album is reflected in its biblical and Christian-themed lyrics. Six tracks feature lyrics taken directly from the Bible, namely from the Exodus, Ezekiel, Romans and Acts. The other lyrics are by Hunter° himself, but the religious themes are highlighted throughout, with the "you" in the original lyrics always referring to God, although never written with a capital Y.

Exodus (Exo album)

Exodus (stylized as EXODUS) is the second studio album by South Korean-Chinese boy band EXO, released on March 30, 2015 by S.M. Entertainment and distributed by KT Music. It is the band's first full-length release since XOXO (2013), and also the first release from the band after the lawsuits of Kris and Luhan, now promoting with only ten members. The lead single for the album, "Call Me Baby", was revealed two days prior to the album's release, and its music videos were released on March 31, 2015.

On June 3, the album was re-released as Love Me Right with four new songs, including the lead single of the same name. With both versions of the album, EXO had the largest sales volume in the shortest amount of time for any K-pop artist, selling more than one million copies in two months.

Background

Before the album's release, S.M. Entertainment held a press conference, in which all the members were present except Lay, who was in China focusing on his new upcoming film. Although he could not be there to attend the press conference, he later apologized through a video call, stating "I'm really sorry. I really wanted to see everybody. I miss the members, too. We will show a perfect image for this comeback. Please anticipate it."

Exodus International

Exodus International was a non-profit, interdenominational ex-gay Christian umbrella network connecting organizations that sought to help people who wished to limit their homosexual desires. It was founded in 1976, but the umbrella organization ceased activities in June 2013. The closure of the umbrella organization had no direct impact on the member ministries which continue to operate. Many have joined together to form two new networks; while others continue to operate independently.

Exodus International asserted that reorientation of same-sex attraction is possible, but warned its members not to go to counselors who claim they could help eliminate all attractions to the same gender. It did not conduct clinical treatment but held the position that, "reparative therapy - a holistic, counseling approach to addressing unwanted same-sex attraction - can be a beneficial tool." Techniques could "include abstinence, lessening of homosexual temptations, strengthening their sense of masculine or feminine identity, correcting distorted styles of relating with members of the same and opposite gender."

Exodus (Plus One album)

Exodus is the fourth album released by Plus One. This is the first time releasing an album without their former members Jeremy Mhire and Jason Perry. This is also their first album that was not released under Atlantic Records but instead released by Inpop.
