"NOAH" american version movie, is that an education or commercial movie?

[istab]

Let see the movie 'NOAH" most in its sequel has been added, from the original TENET. it is more like a fun movie as it compared to an education for children about FAITH. First i thought it is a spectacular movie that narrated as it written originally and copied from the TENET or scriptures. But finally america is america ... still upholding american dreams, everything is just a business, and profit. maybe TENET or the truth on scriptures will make no profit for the producers, so it made. But don't we have to do some noble things in the world?

Noah wasn't exactly from the scriptures but it did reasonably well in terms of earnings.

 

I'd label it as an artistic piece more than anything else. Reminded me of his movie The Fountain which was pretty decent provided you could keep up with it.

Personally, I always saw the story of Noah as pushing the bounds of credibility purposely, with the intent of numbing the reader/listener to any rational thought processes. If they can get you to believe THAT story, they can get you to believe anything.

 

Two of every animal on a boat that size?!

 

Doesn't it seem ludicrous to flood the whole world just to wipe out the bad humans?

 

Where did enough water to flood the whole planet up to the mountaintops come from?

 

 

 

 

To me, a Hollywood movie, with its required suspension of disbelief, is the perfect medium with which to tell the story of Noah.

It's a rattling good tale, and like most good folk tales has a component of moral instruction to it - especially, an underlying theme of "listen to your parents, not your neighbors and pals", along with "get to work".

 

A lot of good epic folk tales have monsters, talking animals or trees, magiclly aided protagonists, anthropomorphic realizations of this or that aspect of the human soul. They all make good movies, if done well. The rainbow ties the whole thing together quite charmingly, imho. The Hollywood version is going to be heavy on the spectacle, light on the character development, but that just pads the time a bit - movie seats are comfortable.

 

Bill Cosby's Noah would have improved the movie considerably, imho, but no chance of that these days. "It's the Lord, Noah." - - "Riiiigght".

lol I was just watching that over on YouTube.

The story of Noah is silly. It goes without saying Noah would never have gotten two of everything on a boat. That is the least of it though. It was obviously conceived but people who did not fully understand their world. More important than Lions, giraffes, and doves would've been plants, insects, and bacteria. Large mammals would not have been the key to rebuilding life on land following a massive Flood that killed all life.

When the movie comes out on disk I may watch it. Nevertheless, the Noah story was lifted from the Epic of Gilgamesh so it's not rooted in Abrahamic religions.

All I can think of is Noah the only guy who had a boat...
