The background of the opening of the play is that after Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, they had three children: CAIN (Cain), ABEL (Abel) and SETH (Seth). CAIN killed ABEL, and then relied on a group of fallen angels (THE WATHERS) to establish a great industrial civilization and spread to the whole world; then only the descendants of SETH were left to compete with it. Several important characters in this play are Sai Special descendants: NOAH CP, his sons SHEM, HAM, JAPHETH. But human greed has caused serious destruction of the earth.
The main line of the story begins with a dream of NOAH: a monstrous flood engulfed the earth and devastated life, which he interpreted as God about to destroy the world; so he took his sons to the mountains to find his great-grandfather, the dream continued, the monstrous flood Under the water, humans are submerged at the bottom, and animals are upstream to the surface. Interspersed with the dialogue of NOAH in the movie:
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
NOAH interprets the dream as the will of God: God destroys everything, Just to start over. The scene echoes the shedding of the snake's skin at the beginning of the film, heralding the arrival of a new world. The interpretation of NOAH is based on God's belief that all things are equal, that human beings have committed too many sins and should be punished; in order to restore a new order to the world, the flood disaster will destroy human beings, and animals should be saved.
So NOAH took God's entrustment, and relied on the seeds of the Garden of Eden and the help of the watchmen to start the process of building Noah's Ark - but the starting point of the construction of the ark was to save innocent animals, not humans. The advancement of the whole story follows the NOAH shipbuilding to save other animals except humans: from seeing the people of CAIN killing each other because of the famine, to the dialogue with IILA (the girl who saved before), to the violent rejection of CAIN The led people enter the ark. NOAH has always believed in his philosophy and that he was chosen by God to accomplish his mission. The most intense confrontation in the heart began in the middle and latter part of the movie: IILA was blessed by NOAH's great-grandfather and changed from being infertile to being able to become pregnant; however, NOAH was not happy when he learned that IILA was pregnant, but in front of the whole family The ultimatum: if it is a boy, you can live as the last human on earth, but if it is a girl, you will kill her the moment she is born (because she may become a mother and continue to reproduce human beings) ).
Unfortunately, ILLA gave birth to twin daughters.
If he was still able to grit his teeth and insist on God's orders for the demise of all mankind, the devastated earth, and the granddaughter's ultimatum, then when he finally kissed his granddaughter and raised the knife, the inner opposition reached the most turbulent level. Time: As the messenger of God, NOAH has to solve the two youngest twin sisters, so that mankind will be wiped out, suffer disaster, and the order of the world will be restored; and as a member of the human race, NOAH will go through the same kind of killing and seeing death After failing to save him, he raised a knife to his granddaughter, which challenged his humanity.
And NOAH was unable to start in the end, which shows that in the face of the opposition between man and God, under the inspiration of blood, he chose the former. After all, he is only a man between God and human beings, and the echoes and contradictions in his heart are bound to be difficult to calm down: as an messenger of God, he abandons his own kind and ignores disasters, but in the end he cannot start to end his granddaughter. This is a disappointment to God, He was deeply tormented by the free sacrifice of thousands of his kind; and the indelible fear and reproach of his family caused him to insist on ending his granddaughter, and he felt deeply guilty.
Regarding the judgment of good and evil, from the perspective of God, although Adam was created according to his own original shape, all things are equal. Human beings have destroyed the earth, abused resources, and killed other species, causing them to suffer disasters. , is to atone for sin, and the genocide of human beings, the animals are saved, and the pavement for the return of the world to order is called good; if NOAH has a heart of sympathy, if he has selfishness towards the human beings who are connected by blood, disregarding the judgment of God, hindering Restoration of order is called evil.
From the perspective of being a member of humanity, as the title says, TEMPTATION LED TO SIN; but even so, it is difficult for human beings to accept the cost of extinction to recognize their greed and to atone for their sins. In this context, in the face of disasters, setting aside ethnic grievances, opening the ark to help refugees, and protecting family members regardless of everything is called good;
Obviously, extinction and rebirth, end or beginning, have different conclusions from different perspectives; and the judgment of good and evil is also the same for all kinds of things in the world.
