I believe that many people will be shocked by the divine power of God after watching this movie. He will let you live, and he will live; if he will let you die, he will die. Divine power is like a prison, and God's will is unpredictable.
However, few people think: Does God have the same power to destroy all things after creating all things? —Let us assume for the moment that God exists, and also assume that He created all things.
To this, our ancestors and the ancestors of Westerners came up with the opposite answer.
Christianity believes that since God created human beings, he also has the power to destroy human beings. Therefore, when Noah faced the disaster of extinction, he chose an attitude of resignation, and gladly accepted the fate of his family and his family after completing the mission of sheltering other species; of course, in the end, the human race continued.
But on the other hand, in the villain Tubal Cain, what I see is exactly us human beings. Noah is too detached, too detached to be human.
From the very beginning of human beings, what they can rely on is extremely limited: slash and burn, and drink blood. The ancestors struggled to survive, fighting against heaven and earth. Even in the plot, after thousands of years of development (the tenth generation from Adam, the longest generation is more than 900 years old), it is only just entering the Iron Age.
Human beings have survived to this day, not by the gift of God, but by their own will to survive, the fighting spirit that will not yield to heaven and earth as long as they survive. In just a few hundred thousand years, human beings have climbed from weak apes to the top of the food chain, and I don’t know how many blood and tears of ancestors have accumulated in them. It can be said that our present superior life is built on the foundation stone built by our ancestors' flesh and blood.
Are humans willing to do evil? In my opinion, everything is a matter of productivity. In ancient times when productivity was extremely underdeveloped, even kings could not enjoy a comfortable life. In order to survive, limited resources have to be distributed among the population. If we blindly pursue egalitarianism, benevolence, and kindness, the result will be no floods, and we will all starve to death together. The resulting "evil", although it cannot be denied the essence of "evil", is unavoidable: this is the only way of history, and it is precisely because of the successors of our ancestors that we are today.
People struggled to survive, and suddenly one day, they learned that God didn't like them, so they were going to kill them all with a flood. And God only gave the news in advance to his die-hard, Noah.
Just like when you go to school, the average classmates have already studied very hard, but because they will not flatter the teacher and make small reports like Ban Chou, they are not liked by the teacher. On this day, the teacher suddenly announced that the final exam would be held ahead of schedule during class. Only Ban Chou, who usually likes to make small reports, not only knew that he was going to take the exam a week in advance, but the teacher also gave him some important points and left reference questions. How would you feel?
Thousands of years of human blood and sweat have managed to survive until now. Just because our ancestors were made by you, you have to kill them at the neck? And you are not good to our ancestors, just because you ate a fruit that you don't know why you can't eat, you were caught by fishing, forced to demolish, and kicked out of your home. ——Since you created human beings, you must know that the more you tell him not to do anything, and you don’t tell him why, it will generally have the opposite effect.
Not only that, but even the angels who wanted to help humans were turned into stone men. Just because God created them.
It's like a dog-blooded line in a domestic TV series: the more ruthless a person is, the more he will say when others betray him, "I treat you well."
God should also think this way. This is quite similar to the attitude of the West towards illegitimate children in the Middle Ages. For the products of the irresponsible one-night affair, they will call them when they need them.
If it is assumed that the biblical plot is true, then the people who survive later are the descendants of Noah who inherited Stockholm syndrome with dominant genes. God's obedient people.
The ancient humans who struggled to survive failed and were labeled as "villains".
For the crisis of extinction, Huaxia's ancestors chose to resist.
Fight out of the living space with your own hands. I will kill anyone who does not let human beings live. There are ten days in the sky, if the sky does not tell me to live, then I will shoot the sun. Finally, the human beings have a bright future.
Therefore, the Chinese nation worships its ancestors more than any gods, until today. One of the most direct manifestations is that it still pursues the creed of "100 good and filial piety first". Through filial piety, the admiration is passed on to the ancestors in infinite distance from generation to generation. And, pass on this spirit from generation to generation.
Those who accuse "the Chinese people of today have no faith" are simply forgetting their ancestors. It is better to worship the gods, and also the pagan gods of the West, than to worship their ancestors.
Nietzsche used to have a deep friendship with Wagner. They all seek to revive German culture and rebuild the spiritual pillar of Germany. But in the end a disagreement arose between them, and Wagner surrendered to God, to theocracy. (For example, "Thomhauser".) Then Nietzsche scolded Wagner for being irresponsible. When I think of it, I curse without mercy. This is a matter of right and wrong.

Say something about the movie itself. Russell Crowe's acting is great. The director has tried his best to make the old-fashioned religious epic feel. Hermione is neither good-looking nor good-looking.
