This was a train wreck of a film from start to finish. I hope filmmakers that seek to make movies based upon the Bible can learn from the mistakes that this movie made.
My mom and I went to go see the movie Noah together, and half way through the movie I couldn't take it anymore how misrepresented the actual events were being portrayed. I even said to my mom "Did these people ever even READ the Bible?" I was disgusted as you go to the movies to see something you think would be inspiring and spiritual and it turns out to be a mockery of your faith. We actually got up and left the movie. This was the first time in my life I walked out on a movie
I believe it was using a mix of Gilgamesh and the flood and the Bible’s interpretation of Gilgamesh and the flood with Noah instead of the original character Gilgamesh if you take that into account it’s pretty accurate.
@@therrera117 You have to also take into account that is directed and written by an atheist Jew. Multiple of his movies criticize religion.

You shouldnt go around calling yourself a Christian when you're not really following the Lord.

No amount of Bible thumping, "Christianese," and Scripture quoting can overcome that.
@@sabrinavargas7368 you remind me of these verses from Matthew 23:2-4 "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers."

God's law is fulfilled with these two commandments: you shall love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love your neighbour as yourself. We've all broken God's law. He that has broken one commandment has broken all (James 2:10).

You legalists always like to condemn others and subtly preach works-salvation heresy.
I think a lot of Christians are missing the point of the movie. I am a Christian and I understand that Hollywood never does a good job when it comes to staying biblical. However, there are 3 great themes in this movie in my perspective. 1) I love the idea that God might have chosen a man who wasn't actually perfect and he was sometimes misunderstanding what God was telling him. He was frustrated with God because God was silent, and that he did the best he could with what he knew. At one point he says something like "God didn't choose me because I was righteous, he chose me because he knew I would do the task he assigned me." This is the classic religious belief that we must do something that seems wrong for a greater good. This is why Christians throughout history have murdered and destroyed and done terrible things in the name of God. But in the end it turned out that God had chosen Noah for another reason. Not because he did everything perfect, not because he would just do whatever God said, but because Noah had love in his heart and had a desire to do right beyond the law: to have mercy. 2) As for the idea that Hollywood is pushing a green agenda with this movie, there is another way you can see this. Noah thought it was all about the innocent animals (just like a lot of preservationists do) but then we see that God does have a larger vision for the earth and mankind. The point of creation was not just for 'mother nature', nor was it for man to pillage. God wanted relationship with his people and stewardship of the earth. 3) There's the idea that God co-creates with us. Noah had the choice whether to continue the line of man or not. I think that is so cool. God doesn't just make us robots. We have freewill and He is somehow creatively using our freewill to sync with his purposes. It's too bad when people get offended by something and are unable to see the good. It's especially a bummer to me when Christians cannot find something worthy of praise in art. I'm not defending the biblical accuracy of this movie, but if you watch it with an open mind, I think you can find some pretty amazing themes and reasons to walk away blessed.
But the movie also goes into some detail of the watchers from the book of enoch, even providing their names but left out some very inportant details about how they mingled with the daughters of men and had children offspring that aren't man nor angel but something in between. Absolute abominations, wicked and vile. But in this blockbuster movie the watchers were the ones that cared for humanity. When you have opened eyes you start realizing this is satanic propaganda.
@@chacondetunaerma I stand fully by what I said dear. Read the bible in its entirety. God is not a God of confusion. You can also ask a pastor to fully explain to you the parts you don’t understand and I pray that the holy spirit gives you understanding and knowledge. Amen☺️ God bless you
Even the book of enoch is twisted in this movie with the watchers ir whatever they are called. And they kinda make God look evil. We wanted to protect people and God didnt want us to and now we are punished.
It actually gets a bit worse on this front. If you look at the names of the watchers from the movie and who they are in the Book of Enoch, the watchers in this movie are Satan and the Angels that fell with him. This movie depicts them going to Heaven in the end. It seems to not quite understand, or, more likely, deliberately undermine their role in the story they're drawn from.
I watched and held it together up until Noah found out his daughter was pregnant and decided to kill the newborn. I flipped my iPad and decided to stop watching it. I was disgusted at just how much this movie was filled full of lies and unbiblical. God is full of mercy. This movie showed none of it. They made Noah look like the bad guy when he was righteous. They didn’t even show the accurate message God told Noah that was evidence enough they were going to be saved through the flood. I truly hate this movie.
You do realize that in the end Noah couldnt go through with it? Like that is a very important message, that he realized that he was wrong and all he could feel when looking at the child was love
To be honest the Bible says little about the preflood world compared to the details in a comic book... You can't make much of a movie if we going strictly on scripture.
Thanks for the comment. I understand "taking some liberties" for the big screen - like adding a conversation or a situation... but the key is that the director keep the biblical facts in tact and present the characters and situations in as accurate a way as possible - this movie failed miserably in laying out a biblically accurate presentation of the flood, and those involved.
Either Fallen Angels or The Watchers from The Book of Enoch. The Watchers were described as a sort of lesser Angel, still appear with Human like bodies and feathered wings on their backs. The Watchers in The Book of Enoch were tasked to watch over Humanity, but they grew interested in the day to day lives of Humanity and also found the human women beautiful. A Watcher, whose name I forget, then decided he wanted to go down to Earth to do what the human men do, find a woman and have children, but he didn't want his brother Watchers to be punished so he made sure if there was punishment for leaving only he would be given it. But this inspired the other Wacthers to follow him nonetheless and vowed to accept the punishment together. When they left they were never allowed to return, but they succeeded in what they wanted and they all had children with human women. These children were the Nephilim, Giants who supposedly stood 450 ft tall and were aggresive.
@@CephalonAxii the human like bodies with wings on their backs were added in the middle ages by monks. There is no original hebrew description of the watchers. soooooooooooo, who gives a shit, if they were depicted as giant rocks. the bible describes some angels as being giant flaming wheels with hundreds of eyes. not too outlandish to portray them as rocks, i think this video creator needs to calm down.
@@tyleriver8 I know, right? And Biblically accurate Angels are Nightmare Fuel, flaming wheels or an eye with six wings that have hundreds of smaller eyes on them. Or actual Snake headed dudes with six wings who were on fire. It’s nuts.
The watchers were fallen angles....your interpretation of that is questionable. There definitely were fallen angels. The problem is they have you feel bad for them and that they are helping man and still love God
They did not want to touch on Genesis 9, where God gave a sign of his covenant for ALL future generations and how the Rainbow is Gods sign of covenant.
Está película me dolió bastante cuando era niño. Sobre todo la escena donde Noah entra al pueblo de los descendientes de caín para buscar esposas para sus hijos, ver toda esa gente intentado trepar la cerca solo para comer fue horrible, la muerte del pobre animalito también me dolió, y lo que más me dolió fue que un padre vendió a sus hijas solo para conseguir carne😬. Toda esa secuencia de escena me traumo jaja, apesar de ser ficción sigue siendo una escena horripilante que me duele bastante pero no tanto como la primera vez que la Vi.
To be fair I had never heard any account of anyone making this movie saying that it would have been biblically accurate. It's kinda like that movie Begotten which was that really weird and uncanny retelling of Genesis. I don't think it was ever meant to retell Noah's story or claim to be biblically accurate, it's just a totally different movie and plot and plan with Noah as the main character
I will say one thing that really bothered me was their clothes😭Religious or not we all know they were not wearing clothes like that. it’s almost like they didn’t even try putting them in robes or something lol
In the Cain and Abel story Cain becomes jealous of his brother. He sees it as unfair that his family is receiving blessings that he isn't receiving and he responds by harming his own family. When Ham was complaining to Noah that his brother had a wife to share a life with, whereas he didn't. I thought they were setting up a story where Cain would essentially be Gollum to Ham's Frodo, or Anakin to his Luke etc. someone who serves as a cautionary tale for the hero of the story when they face a similar test. Ham's brother would be blessed with a wife and children, and Ham would feel tempted to harm his family out of jealousy.....and wouldn't you know it, later on in the movie the motivation to harm his brother's children does come up....but it involves a character other than Ham. take the conflict of one feeling resentful about not receiving blessings that his brother is receiving. Then take the conflict about whether his brother's family should be killed to end humanity, and have both those feelings involve ONE character. A character who uses the issue of ending humanity as JUSTIFICATION to harm his family, when in part he's driven by feelings of jealousy. That way when Ham doesn't kill his own family, it's not only a matter of him seeing the value of humanity, but overcoming his feelings of jealousy and doing what Cain couldn't, which would bring everything full circle and tie all conflicts together. Instead, all the themes of the movie are presented in a way that feels unfocused and unrelated.
Just one more instance of making unnecessary changes to the biblical narrative. We have no basis to believe that actually happened, but about 90% of the movie is pure fiction so I'm not surprised by that addition.
@@BibleAtoZ it didn't, the Bible said that all 3 of Noah's sons brought wives to the ark during the flood. I just still don't see why it wasn't like that in this film
@@isaiahwasabi1381 Yes, it just makes up history. I think partially because the director continued to make stuff up that was unbiblical because he has an axe to grind against Christianity. I haven't seen the film, but I heard from a friend that his next film (Mother!) from 2017 was one of the most sacrilegious films of all time. Makes a bit more sense after watching the travesty that was Noah
Just finished watching this movie, and it was a huge disappointment. It had great potential and a fantastic casting. Actually the first half or so of the movie was pretty damn good, but it just went downhill from there, FAST. The story was completely corrupted, to the point it was almost unrecognizable by the end. I wasn’t mad, it actually left me feeling quite sad and with a sense of utter disappointment at “what could’ve been”. Would not recommend it at all.
I just watched the movie and I see why Christians are mad but it's the the movie. The movie is pretty accurate but towered the books taken out of the Christian Bible
Some people believe its true. And this guys a christian so it would make sense for him to call it that ig- they consider anything on the bible to be true so yeah
@@Frailchip Only a certain subgroup of Christians accept the Biblical flood story/Adam and Eve etc. as historical. How large that subgroup is I have no idea. They are fine with that because they still accept that Jesus is God.
@@hustlersmelody9641 I do know what I am talking about. Only some Christians accept the flood story as literal. To be fair, I don't know how many Christians take it as literal and how many don't. but I do know many don't. Maybe you just take issue with my wording "certain subgroup" which is sloppy. I just mean that there is a percentage of Christians who take it literally and a percentage of Christians who don't. Do you disagree?
As a conservative Christian, I don’t agree with and barely understand any of these criticisms. It has a good, relatively pro-Christian message, it’s well-made from a technical standpoint and well acted, and it’s interesting. Yeah it goes full fantasy but so what? From a movie standpoint, this creates a compelling arc for Noah and interesting issues for the other characters. From a Bible/Christian standpoint, again it takes a lot of liberties with the lore but it’s not a “bad” anti-Christian message. It ends with yes a pro-environment message but also that people can be good by following God and simply being “better” people. Noah’s “villain” part of the story is simply part of his character arc and he ends up being the father of the rest of the world. I watched this movie knowing full well it wasn’t accurate and I loved it as a movie and as a Christian. It never said it was a “Christian” movie like those cliche Gods Not Dead movies and the like, it told its own story that simply pulled from some universally compelling source material from the Bible that is interesting for Christians and Atheists alike. Besides that, the final shot is literally God watching over Noah and his family as they start to repopulate the world, which is thematically consistent with both the Bible and the movie. I really can’t disagree more with this review
Its a film thats all, i beleave in one true creator. I dont have any stand on any sort of religion but i now there his a creater i pray to the one true creator that made this world of are,s. And in 2023 its a mest up world we live in. I carnt get into any religion fully because they were all written by man not the maker of this world . Praise be to the one true creator and peace be apon u 🙏
It actually gave me the idea that since the Bible is entirely arbitrary, anyway, and fully fictitious, why not make up all kinds of fake stories, loosely based off of something from the Bible. We always do that with fictitious stories, and we should all feel free to do it. Even amongst Christians, you have an almost endless ability to disagree with each other so perceptions are all we have, and perspectives are all we have. If you don't agree with my perspective, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I’m a Christian who has seen this movie, and I’m sure everyone here is gonna disagree with me, but I thought it was a really entertaining and inspiring movie despite it being not biblically accurate. Everyone is saying “That’s not from the book” and stuff, but this movie was not trying to tell a biblically accurate story. This movie is Hollywood making a movie about the flood so they added a lot of drama and figurative stuff and monsters and all sorts of things. And they added drama between the characters and. But again they weren’t trying to necessarily lie about it they were simply using the flood story or Noah’s ark story as a rough outline to make a movie. I know this movie is not what Christian audiences were expecting, but I thought it was just as entertaining as the biblically accurate story, and not to mention the story here was well developed. Lots of Christians seem to hate this movie, but I feel like they only dislike it because it’s not biblically accurate, and honestly, I find that kind of sad because this movie has a good story and some of the messages in this movie can be relatable to some people. From what I see, because of how biblically inaccurate it was, the movie was able to make a lot of great points in the messages told. Some are very relatable to people who follow God. It sure was for me. In conclusion, I found this movie very entertaining and inspiring despite it being not biblically accurate. It kept me engaged from start to finish. The messages are very inspiring, the story was very well developed, CGI is also incredible, and the execution of the film itself is very good to me! Now my opinions about this movie don’t apply to every Bible story, because some stories have to stay true to the scriptures because those stories are already developed and don’t need to be changed. An example of this is the story of Moses. If you saw Exodus: Gods and Kings, you can definitely see how poorly the story was developed in an attempt to change it. Moses was an already developed story and didnt have to include so many changes. In fact, it could have been a cinematic masterpiece, even if some of the new ideas they added to story, along with their epic CGI, if they had just stayed true to the book of Exodus.
In principle, I don't have an issue with trying to use the basic idea of biblical stories as a springboard for what is essentially biblical fan fiction. That doesn't have to be a huge insult especially if the messaging of that fan fiction is consistent with the messaging of its source. My issue is that the movie didn't use the meaning behind its source properly. Just as an example, they put tons of emphasis on the Cain and Abel story, to the point where it's treated more as the origin of evil than original sin itself. But the movie fails to explain what exacty Cain's moral failing was...Yeah okay he killed his own brother. Pretty self evident why that's morally wrong, but what LEAD Cain to that point? The people writing this story didn't seem to take anything away from the Cain and Abel myth aside from "killing brother bad. Cain killed brother. Cain bad" If they want to use a biblical story like the Cain and Abel story as inspiration to tell their own story, then that's fine, but they don't really expand on that story. That just make the most superficial possible nod to it.
Maybe your mistake is that you are considering that this movie should be a christian movie or purely biblical. Its somebody's interpretation of a biblical story and you should review it that way.
I watch in disbelief the first time I see this what comes in my first was this is not the Biblical Noah's story. They take something from it they but destroy and changed everything...
The entire point of this movie is that humanity is inherently evil, with a small glimer of hope, as it says in the bible. Only noah's family survived in bible.
I mean an omnipotent being with the power to flood the entire earth, is a bit of a liberty don’t you think? Both this movie, and the Bible are about equally accurate and entertaining.
God forbid a Noah’s ark story go it’s “fantasy land” 😂 Really? Not realistic enough was your problem?? The Bible’s version seems more realistic?? Really? You’re not trolling us?
I am not a super radical christian but this movie seriously disturbed me. I even doubtes myself I thought " did I miss something about this part of the BIble??" but no! the whole thing was completely twisted. I don't know what is wrong with hollywood movies but it seems to be difficult to find a movie free from political propaganda. They completely destroyed and twisted in a very dark way a Bible story, to turn it somehow into climate change propagnda about how horrible we humans are and how we destroy earth and we should obey die or do anything just for the animals to live. they turned Noah into a horrible psycho who wanna kill 2 newborn baby girls because humans are unworthy. I was truly shocled about how bad this movie is. I always thougth if I have a son in the future I would call him Noah, the name of one of the most righteous man on earth who believed in miracles and trusted God. I don't know, it was just very disturbing to expect as you say a clean movie, and find that creepy stuff almost completely unrelated to the Bible. But then when they do the Lion King, they make sure they are so faithfull to the original
The only thing I like about the movie are the Stone Giants. Thats it. But the way they depicted God's Judgement and Noah's role was disapointing. It's twisted.
I love how people think that a Hollywood movie has to be based on a book that does not match their Christian beliefs! This is entertainment people! Religion is based on faith. We don’t really know what happened. We still have people that think the world is flat…so there you go. Same people who were shocked by the Book of Mormon probably hated this movie. I don’t go to a movie to be pontificated to!! What sheep!! 🐑🐑🐑
The bible version is a completely watered down mistranslated version from the version found in the Dead Sea scrolls (the book of Enoch). Christian’s go look up the book of Enoch
The problem with Enoch is that the second two 'chapters/books' of Enoch contradict many aspects of scripture about salvation. A basic premise for considering someting to be inspiried is that it cannot contradict the bible. 1 Enoch might be true from a historial perspectie ... hard to say... but 2/3 Enoch go off into lala land.
Your sources are pretty skewed, they incorporated many other proto-indoeuropean mythology hints. The bible doesn't have a deluge myth monopoly I'm sorry
Just another use of a bible story to make money. They could have done a great job using the book of Enoch but they didn't get the nature of the Watchers right. By reading scripture it seems to me that Noah wouldn't/ didn't assume God was done with humanity. I guess they were looking for some conflict rather than a boring boat ride... and a reason for why Noah got drunk. Not as bad as I heard it was
I watched this video before potentially watching the movie. I don't like the director, so I wanted a reason not to watch it. Thanks for giving me that reason haha.
It is a terrible movie I hated it the filmmaking was poor the acting was terrible and the special effects were garbage it as just style over substance it had no heart and soul it was an empty shell
@@chacondetunaerma I think everybody agrees with the people who believe the same as them, right? But the Bible has been EASILY the most critiqued book of all time, and it has stood up to intense criticism because it is the perfect Word of God
when you said "noah was tasked to save the innocent, and by that the movie meant the animals", i had a thought: are the animals innocent? is it specified anywhere that the commandments should only apply to humans? if not, then animals kill each other all the time, steal one another's food, covet their neighbor's wife and would commit even more infractions if they had the ability to speak. So, to integrate this thought with this movie's logic, where animals are elevated to the same rank of subjects of God and would therefore be be ruled and judged in the same fashion as a human being would, Noah is not in fact saving the innocent by hoarding lions and all manner of sharp fanged and clawed creatures, is he? So, for the arc to make sense, the interpretation could not be the one opted for in the movie.
I believe all religious texts are 20% truth buried in 80% BS. If you were able to identify/compile all the truth parts from all the various religions, you’d have a better idea of the real truth. I believe this division was intentionally done. Also the fact they even make movies like this at all should be appreciated in this day & age.

3) There's the idea that God co-creates with us. Noah had the choice whether to continue the line of man or not. I think that is so cool. God doesn't just make us robots. We have freewill and He is somehow creatively using our freewill to sync with his purposes.
It's too bad when people get offended by something and are unable to see the good. It's especially a bummer to me when Christians cannot find something worthy of praise in art. I'm not defending the biblical accuracy of this movie, but if you watch it with an open mind, I think you can find some pretty amazing themes and reasons to walk away blessed.
But the movie also goes into some detail of the watchers from the book of enoch, even providing their names but left out some very inportant details about how they mingled with the daughters of men and had children offspring that aren't man nor angel but something in between. Absolute abominations, wicked and vile. But in this blockbuster movie the watchers were the ones that cared for humanity. When you have opened eyes you start realizing this is satanic propaganda.
Please go and read the bible
@@Realtalkwithcybillyeah! for example: Deuteronomy 25: 11-12
@@chacondetunaerma I stand fully by what I said dear. Read the bible in its entirety. God is not a God of confusion. You can also ask a pastor to fully explain to you the parts you don’t understand and I pray that the holy spirit gives you understanding and knowledge. Amen☺️ God bless you
@@Realtalkwithcybill "you can ask a pastor to explain the parts you dont understand" means: i can not think by myself 🤣
I'm not some religious zealot, but this movie was disturbing
Even the book of enoch is twisted in this movie with the watchers ir whatever they are called. And they kinda make God look evil. We wanted to protect people and God didnt want us to and now we are punished.
Yeah, it was a twisted movie for sure! Very unbiblical. Thanks for your comment!
It actually gets a bit worse on this front.
If you look at the names of the watchers from the movie and who they are in the Book of Enoch, the watchers in this movie are Satan and the Angels that fell with him.
This movie depicts them going to Heaven in the end. It seems to not quite understand, or, more likely, deliberately undermine their role in the story they're drawn from.
I watched and held it together up until Noah found out his daughter was pregnant and decided to kill the newborn. I flipped my iPad and decided to stop watching it. I was disgusted at just how much this movie was filled full of lies and unbiblical.
God is full of mercy. This movie showed none of it. They made Noah look like the bad guy when he was righteous. They didn’t even show the accurate message God told Noah that was evidence enough they were going to be saved through the flood.
I truly hate this movie.
I'm with you! The movie was an absolute abomination!
They made God himself seem cold and cruel too, and he's NOT.
You do realize that in the end Noah couldnt go through with it? Like that is a very important message, that he realized that he was wrong and all he could feel when looking at the child was love
@@johnnyb7628 yet I can't think of anyone crueler .
@Dino God isn't cruel to begin with, you have it all twisted. Perhaps you should educate yourself on The subject.
To be honest the Bible says little about the preflood world compared to the details in a comic book... You can't make much of a movie if we going strictly on scripture.
Thanks for the comment.
I understand "taking some liberties" for the big screen - like adding a conversation or a situation... but the key is that the director keep the biblical facts in tact and present the characters and situations in as accurate a way as possible - this movie failed miserably in laying out a biblically accurate presentation of the flood, and those involved.
Those rock type creatures were suppose to be fallen angels
Either Fallen Angels or The Watchers from The Book of Enoch. The Watchers were described as a sort of lesser Angel, still appear with Human like bodies and feathered wings on their backs. The Watchers in The Book of Enoch were tasked to watch over Humanity, but they grew interested in the day to day lives of Humanity and also found the human women beautiful. A Watcher, whose name I forget, then decided he wanted to go down to Earth to do what the human men do, find a woman and have children, but he didn't want his brother Watchers to be punished so he made sure if there was punishment for leaving only he would be given it. But this inspired the other Wacthers to follow him nonetheless and vowed to accept the punishment together. When they left they were never allowed to return, but they succeeded in what they wanted and they all had children with human women. These children were the Nephilim, Giants who supposedly stood 450 ft tall and were aggresive.
@@CephalonAxii the human like bodies with wings on their backs were added in the middle ages by monks. There is no original hebrew description of the watchers. soooooooooooo, who gives a shit, if they were depicted as giant rocks. the bible describes some angels as being giant flaming wheels with hundreds of eyes. not too outlandish to portray them as rocks, i think this video creator needs to calm down.
@@tyleriver8 I know, right? And Biblically accurate Angels are Nightmare Fuel, flaming wheels or an eye with six wings that have hundreds of smaller eyes on them. Or actual Snake headed dudes with six wings who were on fire. It’s nuts.
The watchers were fallen angles....your interpretation of that is questionable. There definitely were fallen angels. The problem is they have you feel bad for them and that they are helping man and still love God
The film takes many liberties,
But also it's based off The Book of Enoch not the Old Testament.
Reading it helps the liberties taken make more sense.
That Enoch was just a drunk 🤡
@@kurtman752that’s what the Catholics want you to think.
The film is based on the account from the Book of Enoch.
Gnosticism and Kabalah.
They even twisted that message
They did not want to touch on Genesis 9, where God gave a sign of his covenant for ALL future generations and how the Rainbow is Gods sign of covenant.
It was at the end of the movie. The movie literally ended with a rainbow on the screen
@@DarkLight6Tv didn't see it
Está película me dolió bastante cuando era niño. Sobre todo la escena donde Noah entra al pueblo de los descendientes de caín para buscar esposas para sus hijos, ver toda esa gente intentado trepar la cerca solo para comer fue horrible, la muerte del pobre animalito también me dolió, y lo que más me dolió fue que un padre vendió a sus hijas solo para conseguir carne😬. Toda esa secuencia de escena me traumo jaja, apesar de ser ficción sigue siendo una escena horripilante que me duele bastante pero no tanto como la primera vez que la Vi.
To be fair I had never heard any account of anyone making this movie saying that it would have been biblically accurate. It's kinda like that movie Begotten which was that really weird and uncanny retelling of Genesis. I don't think it was ever meant to retell Noah's story or claim to be biblically accurate, it's just a totally different movie and plot and plan with Noah as the main character
I will say one thing that really bothered me was their clothes😭Religious or not we all know they were not wearing clothes like that. it’s almost like they didn’t even try putting them in robes or something lol
They also left out the fact that all three of Noah's sons were grown and had wives
In the Cain and Abel story Cain becomes jealous of his brother. He sees it as unfair that his family is receiving blessings that he isn't receiving and he responds by harming his own family. When Ham was complaining to Noah that his brother had a wife to share a life with, whereas he didn't. I thought they were setting up a story where Cain would essentially be Gollum to Ham's Frodo, or Anakin to his Luke etc. someone who serves as a cautionary tale for the hero of the story when they face a similar test. Ham's brother would be blessed with a wife and children, and Ham would feel tempted to harm his family out of jealousy.....and wouldn't you know it, later on in the movie the motivation to harm his brother's children does come up....but it involves a character other than Ham.
take the conflict of one feeling resentful about not receiving blessings that his brother is receiving. Then take the conflict about whether his brother's family should be killed to end humanity, and have both those feelings involve ONE character. A character who uses the issue of ending humanity as JUSTIFICATION to harm his family, when in part he's driven by feelings of jealousy. That way when Ham doesn't kill his own family, it's not only a matter of him seeing the value of humanity, but overcoming his feelings of jealousy and doing what Cain couldn't, which would bring everything full circle and tie all conflicts together. Instead, all the themes of the movie are presented in a way that feels unfocused and unrelated.
What are your thoughts on that scene where Ham's soon-to-be wife, na'el, gets caught in a bear trap and gets trampled to death?
Just one more instance of making unnecessary changes to the biblical narrative. We have no basis to believe that actually happened, but about 90% of the movie is pure fiction so I'm not surprised by that addition.
@@BibleAtoZ it didn't, the Bible said that all 3 of Noah's sons brought wives to the ark during the flood. I just still don't see why it wasn't like that in this film
@@isaiahwasabi1381 Yes, it just makes up history. I think partially because the director continued to make stuff up that was unbiblical because he has an axe to grind against Christianity.
I haven't seen the film, but I heard from a friend that his next film (Mother!) from 2017 was one of the most sacrilegious films of all time. Makes a bit more sense after watching the travesty that was Noah
@@BibleAtoZ so those rock monsters were made up
Once I saw the rock creatures, I turn off right away 😂
I don't blame you!
Seriously the rest of the movie is a joke as well
Just finished watching this movie, and it was a huge disappointment. It had great potential and a fantastic casting. Actually the first half or so of the movie was pretty damn good, but it just went downhill from there, FAST. The story was completely corrupted, to the point it was almost unrecognizable by the end. I wasn’t mad, it actually left me feeling quite sad and with a sense of utter disappointment at “what could’ve been”. Would not recommend it at all.
I'm with you. Huge disappointment.
You spend all that time, money, and energy to completely wreck an important biblical event.
Looks like it was middle earth that was destroyed. Not sure if it was before or after the Hobbits 😂
Isnt this just the gnostic depiction of the flood
Finally someone who gets it. And Kabalah as well...
I just watched the movie and I see why Christians are mad but it's the the movie. The movie is pretty accurate but towered the books taken out of the Christian Bible
I'm sure this has been said before, but the film is based more upon the Book of Enoch.
The target audience wasn't Christian's. That was the problem.
Same with Moses which cristhian bale is the main character...not with in bible
Coulda been cool if they stuck to the Genesis framework, and for drama and spice added in elements of Enoch.
Did you just refer to the myth of Noah’s Ark as an “historic event?”
Some people believe its true. And this guys a christian so it would make sense for him to call it that ig- they consider anything on the bible to be true so yeah
@@Frailchip
Only a certain subgroup of Christians accept the Biblical flood story/Adam and Eve etc. as historical. How large that subgroup is I have no idea. They are fine with that because they still accept that Jesus is God.
@@brianharper1611”only” a “certain” “subgroup” just say you dont know wtf youre talking about
@@hustlersmelody9641
I do know what I am talking about.
Only some Christians accept the flood story as literal. To be fair, I don't know how many Christians take it as literal and how many don't. but I do know many don't.
Maybe you just take issue with my wording "certain subgroup" which is sloppy. I just mean that there is a percentage of Christians who take it literally and a percentage of Christians who don't.
Do you disagree?
As a conservative Christian, I don’t agree with and barely understand any of these criticisms. It has a good, relatively pro-Christian message, it’s well-made from a technical standpoint and well acted, and it’s interesting. Yeah it goes full fantasy but so what? From a movie standpoint, this creates a compelling arc for Noah and interesting issues for the other characters. From a Bible/Christian standpoint, again it takes a lot of liberties with the lore but it’s not a “bad” anti-Christian message. It ends with yes a pro-environment message but also that people can be good by following God and simply being “better” people. Noah’s “villain” part of the story is simply part of his character arc and he ends up being the father of the rest of the world. I watched this movie knowing full well it wasn’t accurate and I loved it as a movie and as a Christian. It never said it was a “Christian” movie like those cliche Gods Not Dead movies and the like, it told its own story that simply pulled from some universally compelling source material from the Bible that is interesting for Christians and Atheists alike. Besides that, the final shot is literally God watching over Noah and his family as they start to repopulate the world, which is thematically consistent with both the Bible and the movie. I really can’t disagree more with this review
It's all a presentation of an heretical gnostic viewpoint of the director.
@@VancouverInvestor so what?
You are no Christian 🤦🤦🤦
Its a film thats all, i beleave in one true creator. I dont have any stand on any sort of religion but i now there his a creater i pray to the one true creator that made this world of are,s. And in 2023 its a mest up world we live in. I carnt get into any religion fully because they were all written by man not the maker of this world . Praise be to the one true creator and peace be apon u 🙏
It actually gave me the idea that since the Bible is entirely arbitrary, anyway, and fully fictitious, why not make up all kinds of fake stories, loosely based off of something from the Bible.
We always do that with fictitious stories, and we should all feel free to do it.
Even amongst Christians, you have an almost endless ability to disagree with each other so perceptions are all we have, and perspectives are all we have. If you don't agree with my perspective, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I’m a Christian who has seen this movie, and I’m sure everyone here is gonna disagree with me, but I thought it was a really entertaining and inspiring movie despite it being not biblically accurate. Everyone is saying “That’s not from the book” and stuff, but this movie was not trying to tell a biblically accurate story. This movie is Hollywood making a movie about the flood so they added a lot of drama and figurative stuff and monsters and all sorts of things. And they added drama between the characters and. But again they weren’t trying to necessarily lie about it they were simply using the flood story or Noah’s ark story as a rough outline to make a movie. I know this movie is not what Christian audiences were expecting, but I thought it was just as entertaining as the biblically accurate story, and not to mention the story here was well developed. Lots of Christians seem to hate this movie, but I feel like they only dislike it because it’s not biblically accurate, and honestly, I find that kind of sad because this movie has a good story and some of the messages in this movie can be relatable to some people. From what I see, because of how biblically inaccurate it was, the movie was able to make a lot of great points in the messages told. Some are very relatable to people who follow God. It sure was for me. In conclusion, I found this movie very entertaining and inspiring despite it being not biblically accurate. It kept me engaged from start to finish. The messages are very inspiring, the story was very well developed, CGI is also incredible, and the execution of the film itself is very good to me! Now my opinions about this movie don’t apply to every Bible story, because some stories have to stay true to the scriptures because those stories are already developed and don’t need to be changed. An example of this is the story of Moses. If you saw Exodus: Gods and Kings, you can definitely see how poorly the story was developed in an attempt to change it. Moses was an already developed story and didnt have to include so many changes. In fact, it could have been a cinematic masterpiece, even if some of the new ideas they added to story, along with their epic CGI, if they had just stayed true to the book of Exodus.
In principle, I don't have an issue with trying to use the basic idea of biblical stories as a springboard for what is essentially biblical fan fiction. That doesn't have to be a huge insult especially if the messaging of that fan fiction is consistent with the messaging of its source. My issue is that the movie didn't use the meaning behind its source properly. Just as an example, they put tons of emphasis on the Cain and Abel story, to the point where it's treated more as the origin of evil than original sin itself. But the movie fails to explain what exacty Cain's moral failing was...Yeah okay he killed his own brother. Pretty self evident why that's morally wrong, but what LEAD Cain to that point? The people writing this story didn't seem to take anything away from the Cain and Abel myth aside from "killing brother bad. Cain killed brother. Cain bad"
If they want to use a biblical story like the Cain and Abel story as inspiration to tell their own story, then that's fine, but they don't really expand on that story. That just make the most superficial possible nod to it.
the sword of fire was with Enoch, not Methuselah
I loved this movie 8/10 some of the scenes could have played out better but the rest was great :D
😂😂😂 🤦🏼♂️🤡
SOMEBODY SMOKING CRACK AT THE STUDIO
Maybe your mistake is that you are considering that this movie should be a christian movie or purely biblical. Its somebody's interpretation of a biblical story and you should review it that way.
I believe the story was from the book of enoch
I watch in disbelief the first time I see this what comes in my first was this is not the Biblical Noah's story. They take something from it they but destroy and changed everything...
The entire point of this movie is that humanity is inherently evil, with a small glimer of hope, as it says in the bible.
Only noah's family survived in bible.
I mean an omnipotent being with the power to flood the entire earth, is a bit of a liberty don’t you think? Both this movie, and the Bible are about equally accurate and entertaining.
The watchers are the falling angels in the bible
God forbid a Noah’s ark story go it’s “fantasy land” 😂
Really? Not realistic enough was your problem?? The Bible’s version seems more realistic??
Really? You’re not trolling us?
I am not a super radical christian but this movie seriously disturbed me. I even doubtes myself I thought " did I miss something about this part of the BIble??" but no! the whole thing was completely twisted.
I don't know what is wrong with hollywood movies but it seems to be difficult to find a movie free from political propaganda. They completely destroyed and twisted in a very dark way a Bible story, to turn it somehow into climate change propagnda about how horrible we humans are and how we destroy earth and we should obey die or do anything just for the animals to live.
they turned Noah into a horrible psycho who wanna kill 2 newborn baby girls because humans are unworthy.
I was truly shocled about how bad this movie is. I always thougth if I have a son in the future I would call him Noah, the name of one of the most righteous man on earth who believed in miracles and trusted God.
I don't know, it was just very disturbing to expect as you say a clean movie, and find that creepy stuff almost completely unrelated to the Bible.
But then when they do the Lion King, they make sure they are so faithfull to the original
Hmm, if only biblical films were directed by those who weren't atheists.
thank you! not going to watch it then. i wouldnt expect anything else as you explained anyways
They went into fantasy land? That pretty much sums up the entire bible.
Fantasy or facts. It should be an accurate account.
It says that the fallen angels are watchers that help human like Gosshhh?😂😂😂
The only thing I like about the movie are the Stone Giants. Thats it. But the way they depicted God's Judgement and Noah's role was disapointing. It's twisted.
The movie is Epic, your just upset that it doesn't represent what you believe to be true.
This movie is not worth watching he took the Biblical importance way out of this movie God have mercy amen
I love how people think that a Hollywood movie has to be based on a book that does not match their Christian beliefs! This is entertainment people! Religion is based on faith. We don’t really know what happened. We still have people that think the world is flat…so there you go. Same people who were shocked by the Book of Mormon probably hated this movie. I don’t go to a movie to be pontificated to!! What sheep!! 🐑🐑🐑
The bible version is a completely watered down mistranslated version from the version found in the Dead Sea scrolls (the book of Enoch). Christian’s go look up the book of Enoch
The problem with Enoch is that the second two 'chapters/books' of Enoch contradict many aspects of scripture about salvation. A basic premise for considering someting to be inspiried is that it cannot contradict the bible. 1 Enoch might be true from a historial perspectie ... hard to say... but 2/3 Enoch go off into lala land.
its literal heresy…

I remember being confused seeing the rock monsters as a kid (i mightve been a teen i dont remember)
How can Ham be depicted as Caucasian
Your sources are pretty skewed, they incorporated many other proto-indoeuropean mythology hints. The bible doesn't have a deluge myth monopoly I'm sorry
The movie is considered by some to be a Midrash its literally just a mishmash of Genesis and Enoch.
Just another use of a bible story to make money. They could have done a great job using the book of Enoch but they didn't get the nature of the Watchers right.
By reading scripture it seems to me that Noah wouldn't/ didn't assume God was done with humanity. I guess they were looking for some conflict rather than a boring boat ride... and a reason for why Noah got drunk.
Not as bad as I heard it was
I watched this video before potentially watching the movie. I don't like the director, so I wanted a reason not to watch it. Thanks for giving me that reason haha.
Haha. No prob. I endured the agony of watching that movie so you don't have to

@@BibleAtoZ fanatic religious freak detected!!!
when you said "noah was tasked to save the innocent, and by that the movie meant the animals", i had a thought: are the animals innocent? is it specified anywhere that the commandments should only apply to humans? if not, then animals kill each other all the time, steal one another's food, covet their neighbor's wife and would commit even more infractions if they had the ability to speak. So, to integrate this thought with this movie's logic, where animals are elevated to the same rank of subjects of God and would therefore be be ruled and judged in the same fashion as a human being would, Noah is not in fact saving the innocent by hoarding lions and all manner of sharp fanged and clawed creatures, is he? So, for the arc to make sense, the interpretation could not be the one opted for in the movie.
There is so many bad movie posters
Absolutely bBlasphemous The movie Noah was awful not even close to biblical, it was disgusting.

I believe all religious texts are 20% truth buried in 80% BS. If you were able to identify/compile all the truth parts from all the various religions, you’d have a better idea of the real truth. I believe this division was intentionally done. Also the fact they even make movies like this at all should be appreciated in this day & age.
