Noah
Saw it this weekend . Nothing to write home about. It was pretty good as far as special effects. But the story line wasn't that good and not what I recall from my younger days. Not that I paid attention back then.
The early bird may get the worm, but the Second Mouse gets the cheese. SW

If all you know is a man called Noah, an ark, lots,of rain and lots of animals then you have what most people remember.
The story of Noah is much more than that and this movie is an complete rewrite of the account and filling in the blanks with complete,nonsense, like stone giants helping to make the ark.
Will find something else to do now.....
Thanks.
It was a varoooom! It shook the pine needles off the trees. She broke and ran.

Fishing beautiful Destin / Ft Walton Beach area!
your trying to tell us there is anything accurate in the bible?
Are you saying the bible is accurate or are we talking accurate depicting the myths in the bible? :blowkiss

Note to self, finish reading thread before responding.

Yes you are right.
A 600 year old guy building a boat and occupying it with a breeding pair of every living creature on the planet (which also resided in the vicinity) and maintained them on a sea voyage created by a global flood from a gigantic crystalline reservoir in the sky which it disappeared back into it after all the evil people on earth drowned and who lived another 300 years afterwards, required help from giants of stone or otherwise in its construction, is a bit too much disbelief to suspend.

Noah's mission had a double character: he had to warn his people, asking them to call for repentance and, at the same time, he had to preach about God's mercy and forgiveness, promising them the glad tidings God would provide if they led righteous lives. References to Noah are scattered throughout the Qur'an, and there is even an entire chapter carrying his name, Noah.[5]
Just for Men is your friend.
I was going to say that they took quite a bit of artistic license with the script assuming it was based upon something such as the bible. I'm not a stickler for that and don't consider myself to be very religious. I was just stating that it certainly deviated from what I remembered.

If they didn't it, would have been a 12 minute movie.

Not really. Wasn't a whole lot of dialog
:Griz
That's because the only guy who spoke in the whole 1,200 +/- word short story was God, who told Noah what his cunning plan was and how to execute it. Artistic license was a bit of a necessity.

Actually there were seven pairs of the "clean" animals and seven pairs of birds. Genesis 7:2-3
Geez if your going to mock God get it right!
There is a time frame of 100 years between Noah's sone births and completing the ark, so something interesting had to happen in between there.
I'm not mocking God. I'm Catholic. I'm mocking your offence at this film because you believe that the bible is in someway a literal representation of biology, anthropology, history and natural process, rather that a story about God.

Uh, nothing "had" to happen. Its an ancient story developed by Jews which was co-opted by the early Catholic Church. as a lawful precedence of their messianic mandate. What is very strange is that I've never met a Jew who believed that it was anything more than a story, which it is.

No I'm saying there were 14 of each species of clean animals.
Yes, giant people, which to them could mean 7 foot tall. I don't know what they mean by giants. New York or otherwise.
Catholic doctrine believes the Eucharist is the literal body of Jesus but don't believe the account of Noah...interesting.
