Cruelty & Mercy.

Regarding the fabricated plot in the film, I really complain about my powerlessness...
The original text of the Bible about Noah building the ark, including the fact that they survived in the end, is actually very short and a few chapters.
It's also hard for the director to shoot this for two hours...
but I'm going to say that's not the point.
I want to say that God is charitable, holy and full of love.
Maybe you felt the existence of God at a certain moment and affirmed that you are in confusion, so you want to feel at ease and do it boldly, but don't forget that human beings are weak and have original sins.
No matter how hard you try to be righteous, you will eventually go wrong because of original sin.
Just like Noah.
At that time, he wanted to kill his own granddaughters like a paranoid, but he never thought that it was God who promised all this to happen, that God was merciful and hoped that human beings would continue to thrive.
What is the difference between Noah and the descendants of Cain at this time?
Humans always think that they can go to heaven and earth like gods.
But in the face of disasters, they are like ants.
Such ridiculous behavior is precisely the most genuinely ridiculous face of human beings.

    Fine art, no more. It feels like Aronofsky may have read some magic book at the time.

    Cruel are people, gentle people are also people, being expelled and abandoned by God is not the reason for us to give up self-love

Noah quotes

  • Og: Watchers have learned to fear men.

    Young Ham: Then why are you helping us?

    Og: The Creator formed us on the second day. They day He made the heavens. We watched over Adam and Eve. Saw their frailty and their love. And then we saw their fall. And we pitied them. We were not stone then, but light. It was not our place to interfere. Yet we chose to try and help mankind. and when we disobeyed The Creator, He punished us. We were encrusted by your world. Rock and mud shackled our fiery glow. Still, we taught mankind all we knew of Creation. With our help they rose from the dust, became great and mighty. But then they turned our gifts to violence. Only one man protected us. Your grandfather Methuselah. We were hunted, Most of us killed. Those who lived were left prisoners in these stony shells, marooned upon this barren land. We begged The Creator to take us home. But He was always silent. And now you claim that you have heard His call. Samyaza cannot accept this. A man? When it is men who broke the world. But I look at you and I see a glimmer of Adam again. The man I knew. The man I came to help.

  • Noah: Fire consumes all. Water cleanses. It separates the foul from the pure. The wicked from the innocent. And that which sinks from that which rises. He destroys all, but only to start again.
