From epic, higher than epic!

This film is adapted from the story of the "Bible". It is a household-level existence known to all people on earth. The story tells that God sent a monstrous flood and judged the world because he hated the sins of the world. Before the judgment came, God chose Noah to build a giant ark so that thousands of species in the world could continue after the judgment.
To be honest, I really haven’t read the original Bible story, that is to say, I have heard of a man like Noah. According to legend, he built a somewhat large ship and saved many people in this world before the flood. Species, as for the details of the story, I really don't know much about it. The "Fake Tenjin 2" I watched in the past seemed to reproduce this story with a little spoof. This time, it was to really understand what this epic legend was about. After seeing the posters of famous actors, I went to see this film. I believe that the motives of most non-Christians to choose this film are somewhat similar to mine, but in Western Christian countries it is a bit similar to the feeling of watching "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons", a story that almost everyone knows what the situation is. , I'm just curious what you can shoot like? What do you dare to shoot? I can assure you that there are definitely a lot of people who think like this. This kind of religious film can become blasphemous if you are not careful. If you want to gain the approval of devout believers, the best way is to follow the book obediently, and you can only focus on the details and not take it casually. Otherwise... But this time, Paramount is going to take the world by storm. It seems that the adaptation of the story is a bit outrageous, which naturally caused an uproar and attracted countless criticisms and negative comments. "Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Picture" is somewhat similar. The more controversial it is, the more scolded it is, and the better the ticket sales are. Shooting this kind of film with the idea of ​​causing controversy is also a marketing strategy, after all Commercial film making money is king.
In fact, the film still didn't dare to make many changes on the main line. It is still God who judges the world, but this time, in addition to his original kindness, Noah has become an excellent hunter, an unusually stubborn and strict father. The head of the family with absolute right to speak. And the director also naturally arranged action scenes for "Gladiator" Russell Crowe. This Noah, who can be called the most capable fight in history, fought all the way to keep the ark successfully launched and the safety of the entire family members. , and the gradually complicated interpersonal relationships between several family members, especially the gradual psychological transformation of several children during their growth, is also the focus of the film. The audience brought the ingenious story structure and twists and turns of the story. In addition to the leading actor Russell Crowe, the veteran actor Anthony Hopkins bid farewell to the "Harry Potter" re-starting "Hermione"—— Emma Watson, the young "Percy Jackson" - Logan Lerman, and Jennifer Connelly, who played Mrs. Noah, joined a cast of young and old movie stars to make this film star-studded. It is also the biggest promotional highlight of the film.
However, apart from the many highlights mentioned above, the whole story still seems relatively bland, except for the more gorgeous visual effects displayed when the final monstrous waves hit and the previous wave of grand battles. Aside from embodying the director's more radical environmentalism, the film is generally mediocre. It's not as exciting as I imagined, and the viewers are a little disappointed.

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.
