This movie explains one word very well, that is "struggle", all kinds of struggles in the characters, all kinds of conflicts between characters, but it is also the strengths of these two actors and actresses. In a word, they As soon as he came out, he put on his face: We can act! Unsurprisingly, the two portrayed the characters and expressions to the extreme. The film attempts to reveal a simple but grand philosophical theme, the conflict between humanity and divinity, and what is human nature. Anyone who knows a little bit of the Bible story knows that God did not enlighten their minds after creating man, but Adam and Eve were enlightened by Satan after being tempted by them, and thus possessed human nature. Human nature has become a constant theme in the field of philosophy. We are endlessly exploring ourselves, exploring all aspects of being human, the beauty and ugliness of human nature, the strength and fragility of human nature, etc., but there is one thing in the end. Human nature can never be as perfect as God.
People living in a world with humanity are destined to conflict with the simple and perfect divine world created by God, which is also one of the themes of the film, just as Noah did not kill his two grandsons in the film, he disobeyed God because when he took up the knife and struggled, he was struggling to think as a human being, his humanity and divinity were struggling. This is a struggle as an individual person's heart. The film also has conflicts and struggles between individuals. For example, the king in the sinful land actually symbolizes the evil side of human nature. The struggle is also the conflict between humanity and divinity. But the king is not obscure about the evil of his human nature, or he simply does not feel that he is evil, as he has always said in the film, even before his death, you are a man. In his heart, there is no doubt that human beings are the greatest, human nature is precious, and human beings have the right to decide their own destiny, even in conflict with God.
In short, the film undoubtedly successfully explained these conflicts, but the struggle in the slightly lengthy story was so intense that it made me a little uncomfortable. The last dialogue of the film I think is the highlight of the film. Noah's eldest daughter-in-law said to Noah, who was drunk and drowsy all day. She asked Noah why he didn't kill his two grandsons (because Noah believed that God's will is Humanity will perish as a whole) but kissed her grandson the moment she raised the knife and dropped it, she said that Noah did not fail god, but he showed God the weakness of being a human being, and it was God who finally let him choose, Noah In the bottom of my heart, I chose mercy and love, and that's how God gave mankind a chance to start over. When I heard this sentence, I seemed to instantly understand the overall theme of the film. That is: we are human!
