NOAH: A Short Review There is very little written about Noah in the Bible (Genesis 6 – Genesis 9). This leaves a lot of room for creative interpretation, which I welcome. I had high hopes for this film even if it took some wild imaginings from the Biblical text. The story of Noah offers great latitude for interpretation and creativity, and could have been an amazing film. I cannot recommend “NOAH” because it perversely corrupts the character of God and Noah. In “NOAH”, God punishes angels for trying to help man, so God is petty and vindictive. In Genesis 6, these fallen angels (demons) are mating with humans and corrupting humans to do evil. Jude 1:6 and 2 Peter 2:4 explain this further. In “NOAH”, God does not speak to Noah and explain His reason for the flood, but Noah is convinced His purpose is to wipe out humankind completely. So rather than a God of love, we again see a God of cruelty. In Genesis, God spares Noah and his family because they are the only ones left who are not consumed with evil and violence. In “NOAH”, God expects Noah to destroy two female babies and, by extension, his son’s wife so that the human race will die out with Noah’s sons. Again, a depiction of a cruel and heartless creator, and certainly not the God of John 3:16. In “NOAH”, Noah is portrayed as a self-righteous “judge” who ultimately defies God and allows the human race to survive. In Genesis, Noah is portrayed as “a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God” Genesis 6. It’s a movie, and some may say we should support it because it will encourage Hollywood to make more “bible based” movies. I respectfully disagree. You don’t reward your children for bad behavior, why reward Hollywood for blaspheming the God who loves us so much that He gave . . I hope this is helpful..
