All humanity has a claim to Noah. If taken literally, then he is our common father. At very least, that so many cultures share a variant of the story of judgement, near-destruction and a redemptive prophet/father figure warrants serious consideration. What is the meaning to be drawn from the mythology? Does the Bible version contain the definitive narrative? Why include it? Why, in the modern world, study it? Depict it? Analyse it? The film that I have just seen was much better than I had expected. Characterisation was complex and rich (except - as always - Ray Winstone tried to usurp the role of Ham. Arf!), CGI was unintrusive, and the risible Watchers could at least be ignored. The spiritual significance of Noahs struggle was not buried beneath his chief role of - apparently - ecowarrior in archetype, and they even let Russell Crowe sing again (!) I am glad I was inveigled into watching it, and am looking forward to the discussions it is prompting with unchurched friends.
