Knowing that it will fail, but still doing it, this is what Hubble Lee called courage. Fifteen years ago I saw John Huston's "Genesis" and it was very disappointing, he was trying to get the shock of the image in the literal translation of the Bible.

As a religious film, it cannot but reflect the Seven Deadly Sins. And through the faces of a large number of Cain's descendants, we see greed, vendetta, and pride. The movie didn't say anything, and it performed very well.

It's just that they added an original sin to innocent Noah - murder. The movie has Noah kill the evil humans trying to get on the ark. It was also arranged that at the end of the movie, he was alone in seclusion.

But the Bible says that the record here was recorded by the descendants of Noah, and that he was a righteous man who walked with God, there is nothing to blame. This alone explains why God chose Noah. And the movie says, because Noah has compassion.

The Tree of Good and Evil was also designed as the tree of connection in the Garden of Eden, and the serpent was designed as a fetish for shedding its skin. In the Great Migration, snakes are also specifically mentioned, in addition to birds and beasts. The Bible makes it clear that snakes are the most cunning of all animals. 3
