Really?!? (comments on your spoiler if true...)

Posted by: KalElFan (a.k.a del_TOM_KalElFan) on Feb 04, 12:30 in response to adrenalin112's post possible spoiler...

Again, IF that spoiler is true and became known, it could open up the movie to being a metaphorical slam against religion and the religious. If the titular Judeo-Christian Religious Icon Noah isn't a religious, God-fearing and loving man as you described, but rather a weak-minded, unstable, maniacal drunk, the movie may well be interpreted as saying the religious generally are the latter.

Combined with never using the word God (if you're right about that post earlier in the thread), but rather creator (as in creationism), it could again suggest the metaphorical interpretation that the movie is skewering religion.

Will NOAH movie attract or offend Bible believers? pabruce Feb 04, 08:51

Probably both. {nm} Bubba_Fett Feb 04, 08:52

That should have been a reference to the book of Jasher (not Ahser). I listened to an audio book version on YT. {nm} pabruce Feb 04, 08:59

Indifference is probably the bigger danger for the movie's box office. It'll be interesting to see what it manages to open to. {nm} KalElFan Feb 04, 09:45

I called my cousin, the only devoted Bible Believer I know, and her family is looking forward to seeing it. Now, if she's going to be pennystocks2 Feb 04, 09:51

Passion of the Christ was in a different league because it was (1) Jesus and (2) Gibson before his troubles... (more) KalElFan Feb 04, 10:20

How true this is. I still see no reason for them to take offense to the movie. The trailer looks pretty good and I may go and see it myself, pennystocks2 Feb 04, 11:22

what i found very odd about this movie is that they never once say "God", rather the word used is "creator" {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 04, 12:00

As a "bible believer" (really?), and an Aronofsky fan (The Fountain is one of the 5 best films ever shot)... MrZero Feb 04, 10:15

Are the people who've seen it bible believers, Aronofsky fans, both or neither? {nm} Antibody Feb 04, 10:19

how is this tagworthy? {nm} Moviesnob Feb 04, 11:06

I didn't even notice. Look, sometimes you gotta give newbies a break. {nm} Antibody Feb 04, 11:15

yessir! {nm} Moviesnob Feb 04, 11:24

both (i guess?)...couple friends from Pepperdine who work at a certain studio MrZero Feb 04, 11:42

I think the epic nature of this biblical story will be an attraction. As to whether or not it offends, will be dependent upon PVL Admin Feb 04, 10:23

possible spoiler... adrenalin112 Feb 04, 12:10

Really?!? (comments on your spoiler if true...) KalElFan Feb 04, 12:30
