I know that Darren Aronofsky's
Noah, starring Russell Crowe, is an extremely controversial movie but what do you think of the creation sequence?
I love this sequence, it's beautiful and I showed it to my Sunday School class (not the entire movie, just this 4 minute sequence).
And yes, I know this differs from the book of Genesis but is it un-Christian? I don't think the movie supports evolutionism, the only thing that bothered me was the fact that the name 'God' was never used - they spoke of 'Creator' instead.
I have in fact watched that movie. My grandchildren talked me into taking them to it. May I say to you with all love and respect to you, but IMO it was the very worst "Hollywood Religious" movie ever produced.
It is terrible acting as well as totally Biblically incorrect.
Now I am not a movie critic, but I am a Bible believer. The fact is about Creation in the film we are told, “In the beginning there was nothing.” But the Bible tells us that the triune God existed before the beginning:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”.
God was always in the beginning
!
Then the film depicts Noah and his relationship with God. Noah comes off as a psychopathic murderer who is too weak to carry out what he believes is his God-given task. This problem arises because God does not speak clearly to Noah but expects him to assemble a puzzle from a few dreams and visions. The movie then says that Noah, who is willing to murder three men to save one animal, interprets these dreams to mean he is to save “the innocents”—the animals—and kill all of the humans so that the creation can be restored to the way God intended it. Now where in the Scriptures is the record of Noah killing anyone?????
Then who are those "rock" creatures who cut logs and stack wood and then kill all the humans that try to get on the Ark????
Where are those creatures explained to us in the Scriptures????
Then where in the Scriptures are we told that a man gets onto the Ark who is not one of Noah's family?
And where in the Scriptures are we told that one of Noah's sons wife is trampled to death trying to get on the Ark. How then does her death then allow the sons of Noah to repopulate the earth?
These kinds of things cause lots of problems for the children as they are taught one thing by their parents from the Bible and their teachers in church, then they see something radically different on TV.
I would not recommend anyone to watch this movie, especially children. IT is really, really bad!!!!
