NOAH MOVIE
REVIEW
Noah. A man
of God. A man of faith. A man that was given a great task. That was the true Bible
Noah. But in the movie version, Noah I
found God and faith both lacking, however it was clear that Noah was given a
great task to build an ark - but not to save mankind but to save all the birds
and beasts from extinction.
With that
said, in the movie, Noah was dark and at times bitter with his God. He fights
with his wife and his children. He seems to have lost his humanity towards
other living beings and with it all compassion. Noah has decided mankind will
die out with his family and no other children can be born. However, this was
not the bible’s version of the story, but the creators of the movie.
Although
this version of Noah is clearly Hollywood invented, it was very entertaining
and did make me think about the true story of Noah. The bible is filled with
wonderful and murky tales of the Israelites. Perhaps this will lead to a movie
trend into unmarked territory or people taking a closer look at scripture. All in all, I was glad to see Noah and would
recommend it whether you believe in the bible's tale or not.
