| sethnintendo said: The whole premise of the story from the bible along with a few other stories turned me off from Christianity. Sorry I can't believe in an ark being built and just two of each animal being loaded up and surviving months on end. Christians believe in incest origin twice (Adam and Eve and Noah). |
There are two types of christians, those that take the entire Bible literally (like, no shit, this actually happened) and those that look at the stories like fables - stories with lessons behind them. I have some respect for the latter (use religion as a guide for life, that's fine) and none for the former (they tend to be the blind sheeple and frankly, they scare me).
But none of that matters here, this version of Noah is based on the Jewish Book of Enoch which wasn't included in the original bible (or in comic book terms, it isn't canon).
I wanted to see Noah but never got around to it, I'm not much of a religion guy but it's Darren Aronofsky with a $125m budget (he's the director of Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, Black Swan, etc; ) that is more than enough to keep me interested. I mean, did anyone actually see any of those? Pi had a drill to the head, Requiem for a Dream had A2A, The Fountain was a trip, and Black Swan had people turning into birds and women stabbing themselves in the face with nail files. The man doesn't do subtle, well, other than The Wrestler.
