I loved it too, but my favorite part was the conversation about sin that Noah had with his wife. I know the realization that sin would not be eliminated just because of Noah's perfect family (designer boots and all) was important to Noah's conclusions about their survival, but it was actually one of the most honest conversations about sin I have ever seen on any sized screen. Kudos for that alone.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269508526627387973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-56428017288409005282014-03-29T12:51:20.999-05:002014-03-29T12:51:20.999-05:00I found this blog post about the whiteness of Noah...I found this blog post about the whiteness of Noah's world interesting and disturbing: http://www.floodofnoah.com/#!noah-movie-white-savior-epic/c245rClint Schneklothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707900080657719369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-46845477633805773112014-03-29T11:01:55.993-05:002014-03-29T11:01:55.993-05:00I also saw Noah yesterday, and I agree with basica...I also saw Noah yesterday, and I agree with basically everything you said. The Watchers were the strangest part of the film for me. I had a little trouble taking them seriously due to the animation (so similar looking to the stone giants from the Hobbit, who also distracted me), but their plot line was interesting. <br /><br />I loved the hiddenness of God throughout the film. Noah's misunderstanding of God's plan was so incredibly relevant to life, even if not in the text. I so appreciated Aronofsky's willingness to embrace the ambiguity of the story. And of course, I went in wondering if Noah would get drunk at the end - I would have been upset if they left that out.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837274963403897704noreply@blogger.com
