Zucker: [] This is a story from the Bible. It is a consequence of the three Magi having come from the east in search of the newly born Jesus Christ. He orders the Massacre of the Innocents. Harris: [] Joseph, in a dream, learns of the danger to the Christ Child, and he and Mary set off for Egypt. Zucker: [] This is so obviously not Egypt.

This is not about historical accuracy. They all serve as a background for these religious figures. Zucker: [] Here, [it] takes a moment to even notice the figures. What my eye goes to first is this large hill town, framed by trees, with this lovely atmospheric perspective. Harris: [] The colors fade to light grays and blues, creating this really masterful illusion of space.
