The film wasn't quite the epic epic as I expected it to be. However, even if it is realistic, the reality of that era will probably make modern people think it is magical. For example, the image of Adam and Eve is in line with the description of primitive human beings in Buddhist scriptures. The fruit of the tree of life is like a bright red apple and a beating heart. What a wonderful interpretation of biblical parables, and I am overjoyed.
People want the life of the flesh, and the life of the flesh must die, and death comes from birth. And "desire" is the original sin of man. According to Buddhist theory, human birth is driven by desire. Because of birth, there will be old age, illness, death, love and separation, resentment and other kinds of sorrows and sorrows. When a baby is born into the world, it is to announce the beginning of another chapter in a life full of hardships.
Those who have been brainwashed by materialism who hold on to being "I" cannot understand this level of meaning.
The penalty for sin is death.
The ancient man-made sins were less, so they did not die as quickly as modern people. The Bible records that Noah and his ancestors lived for hundreds of years, and Noah himself died when he was over 900 years old. Most modern people may be suspicious and believe it is a myth. I am convinced, and I think it can be explained by modern scientific theories: the earth's environment in that era was far from what people can imagine today. At that time, the air was fresh, the water was clean, and the food was more nutritious. on today. Besides, people in the past were simple-minded, simple-living, and devout, all of which enabled people to enjoy their life to the fullest.
It is a pity that the original divinity was gradually obscured by the delusions of dust and delusion. The descendants of Adam and Eve have already ruined the earth beyond recognition. The earth was originally a home shared by humans and other species, not only by humans. Today, vegetated forests have shrunk dramatically, animal species have plummeted, and humans have made the earth unfit even for themselves. Like many places in China, even fresh air and clean water have become a luxury item, so that strange diseases occur frequently and epidemics are rife. But most people are unaware of this, or know and do nothing about it - even if the flood is terrible after my death, even if I perish, most people will be buried with me. In Spanish, the prefix sino is used to represent China, sin is sin, and o is a noun suffix in Esperanto. If Zamenhof was inspired by Latin, sino can be interpreted as "the carrier of sin" or "sin person". But it is the Chinese who don't believe in the "original sin theory" the most, and like to crown themselves with "kindness and innocence", as if all of them were conceived by virgins and born from the right side.
Humans are indeed the most destructive species on the planet, the cancer cells of the planet. So I understand the inspiration of Noah's idea: to destroy human beings to save the earth and other creatures on the earth. The reason why human beings have not been eliminated is probably because there are still a few righteous people in the crowd.
Humans can be animalistic beings only as a link in the biological chain, like all materialists, represented by the villain Tubalcain in the film. Tubalcain thinks that it is the top of the food chain (in fact, the biological chain is a closed cycle, and people will still be eaten by insects and ants after death). It can also be used as a divine being, similar to the role played by Noah, the righteous judgment he followed, and the love and kindness that prevailed in the fierce psychological conflict. This is the brilliance of divinity and the value of life between heaven and earth. where.
Postscript: Aronofsky, the director of "Noah", is an environmentalist. During the filming of "Noah", he was not allowed to use bottled water, which caused the actress who played Lira to drink contaminated water. A serious illness. This incident just proved the significance of shooting this film.
