The film obviously does not conform to the "Bible". From this point of view, it is not entirely unreasonable that the China Film Bureau has shot the film and banned it from being released in the mainland. The answer to this question is also unknown.
On the other hand, as a Hollywood entertainment product, this film is quite "Christian" and can be said to be rare. It reflects the tension or conflict of some beliefs, as a dramatic need, in "spiritual" parlance, "fighting." The essence of "drama" lies in warfare. The object of warfare is not human, but it is indeed human.
The figure of Noah, as the executor of God's plan, is portrayed as a submissive, confident (to God) and cold and harsh (to man) image, which is quite close (according to a certain degree). doctrine) the image of that "believer" (the righteous, the follower). (In terms of Hollywood entertainment products or pop culture vibes, it's rather surprising and obtrusive). The film may not be very successful or important. As a symbol of mainstream culture, it is also an important work about the "present", and the value orientation it reveals can be described as important.
The contradiction in the film is mainly reflected in the attitude towards the character of the second son, "Han". As a relatively clear cursed image in the Bible, the film reveals a typical "Hollywood-style" to him. of" (humanistic) sympathy, "I don't belong here", like a man who decides to leave the church, Ham ends up on his individualistic path of no return, with a different understanding of "justice", or different "letters". If you ignore the meaning of "Ham" as the father of the seven Canaanite tribes, Hollywood's position on such a figure has never been different from that of the church.
justice. What is "righteousness"? The real question is whether there is a standard of "righteousness" other than God? The answer is no, God is fairness, justice and integrity, and justice is the attribute of God. Even if sometimes God's justice is so ruthless from a human perspective. When God decides to exterminate all mankind, just like a potter decides to destroy a work of his own, he has the right (and he must admit his failure, because the work was unsuccessful because he did it himself If God is the potter and we are the work in his hands, then our problems can all be attributed to God, and God is to blame for the corruption of mankind, and God is the cause of everything. - It sounds logical. ——More importantly, God is not omnipotent. Since he has made man bad, he made man in his own image and likeness, betting on the works of his greatest concern, and as a result, "completely" failed, our God is simply Too bad. ——A man can probably play pranks to such an extent that he would rather destroy himself than see a joke from God. Of course God would not allow such a thing to happen, He had foreseen it all.
I don't think people in ancient times had as much sense of humor as people in modern times, which is my humble opinion on history. The humorous disposition also comes from God, and is bestowed from above, or, in other words, if people can understand God more and more, if God allows it. Humor is a temperament that accompanies freedom. When we read mythology, is it "history" or "myth"? History is myth.
Can God destroy all mankind? Does He have the right and reason to do so? sure. Is this against His "righteousness"? of course not. - Will he do this? Will not. That's God, if you want to give praise.
Knowing God is the only thing we do in life. As long as you work hard in this "direction", you are all right. Otherwise it's all wrong.
There is no standard of "righteousness" other than God, and those who face vain always have their own independent opinions. "Han" is such a person, as well as you and me, we fully believe that God is righteousness, and at the same time do not know where the righteousness is, righteousness is not in any corner of the world, in any small place, and righteousness is not in the "church" "In the specific church I belong to. But God says He is there, do you believe it?
"Watchmen" is God's sense of humor that God raised out of stone, and God the Father does sometimes feel a little helpless with us fools (his beloved work).
We do not love God, we do not understand His kindness.
