For a film born out of religion, such controversy often does not lead to high box office. Entertainment-oriented TV dramas need controversy to attract attention; serious movie works, even if the director tries to balance the tastes of all parties, still cannot escape the word "difficult to adjust".
In this film, the arrival of the end of the world is caused by the sins of human beings; on the night before the flood, Noah sneaked into the society inhabited by human beings and saw all kinds of ugliness and evil in the world, so when the end came , he refused to let anyone else on board to survive. Noah believed that all this was arranged by God, and that he was the "God's Chosen Son", and he should do it himself to complete the mission given by God. Although this mission seems rather cruel. Outside the ark is the flood, and the family inside the ark sits around and listens to Noah telling about the origin of the world, which also includes the birth and reproduction of human beings. According to Enoah's understanding, human beings need to experience a complete "rebirth", and gradually evolve from the original form to the human form. This is a mission entrusted to him by God, and he must complete it.
The subsequent film focuses on describing Noah's inner struggle. Family is on the left, faith is on the right; obsessed with faith, we must face the disintegration of the family. Although he finally chose family and avoided the ultimate demise of mankind, he couldn't forgive himself, and he used alcohol to relieve his worries all day long after landing.
The story is serious, but a little too serious. As the Topic Critic on Rotten Tomatoes said "Rock Transformers", the director tried to make the whole story reasonable, but the overly logical arrangement made the story a little ridiculous. The giant stone, which grew into a forest in one day, forged an ark; the remedies for infertility promoted the development of the second half of the story; Noah's self-blame for himself and his return to his family sublimated the theme of "salvation". It's just a pity that it's all a bit far-fetched.
Darren Aronofsky really wanted to write a "human" Noah, without too much religious meaning; it's just that the proposition this time is a bit difficult to write, after all, the experience of the end times is difficult for my generation to experience. That life-threatening moment, a complete faith, will help the sufferer overcome the fear of catastrophe in his heart.
Perhaps this is the reason why so many religions that depict the end times and salvation have always existed.
