I just saw the movie, Noah. Someone asked me to do a review of it, so I will give a few thoughts on it, if anyone cares. Well, I loved the movie. The cinematography was epic and amazing. The story is very beautiful. If you go expecting to see the story of Noah that we read about in Genesis chapter 6 through Chapter 10, you will be disappointed because it is not based on those 4 chapters word for word which is where a fundamentalist will get a brain freeze and shut out the good points of the imaginative story line. Moreover, I heard the creator of the film researched other books, such as the Book of Enoch which has been one of my favorites, but unfortunately, the only Christians that have this book in their canon is the Ethiopian Orthodox which is weird that it is them alone, since Jude quotes from it, and we have him in our canon. Furthermore, books such as Enoch give more details with relevance to the Nephilim mentioned in Genesis 6:4. I will stop there; however, because if you want to really know Scriptures than you will study Scriptures, or religious studies, or theology. I am not here to give free information to anyone that has caused me to do lots of work and research, and caused me to age. In other words, do your own research. The point of the movie is that men were evil and after the flood man had a second chance to do good. And, this is what we can still do today which is what Jesus said: love God and love our neighbor as ourselves. At any rate, below is basically how the story of Noah begins in the book of Genesis taken from an ESV translation of the Bible, although it is not how it will begin in the film. Genesis 6: 1-8 Gen 6:1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, Gen 6:2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Gen 6:3 Then the LORD said, My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years. Gen 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. Gen 6:5 The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Gen 6:6 And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. Gen 6:7 So the LORD said, I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them. Gen 6:8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. -ESV Bible
