I think I read somewhere that the film deviates from the Bible story in some way to do with Noah and the age he had his kids. I'm sure I read that in the Bible story he didn't have the kids until he was 500!! I am (was?) a catholic but I only remember the Ark story vaguely and I don't remember anything about him being 500 and having kids at that age. I'm sure even at a young age I would have rolled my eyes at that one.
i guess Kevin gets the prize!

Afronosky,an atheist, feels he can embroider whatever fanciful ideas he has on to the Bible story.
Well, he can. He's making a movie, not a biblical documentary. And the story of Noah in the book is like 2 pages long. Maybe 2 paragraphs once you cut out all the repetition from chapter 2 chapter.
Also, and I may be opening a can of worms here, but I find it funny in some of the reviews I've seen how people complain about how the message is different than it was in the Bible. I mean, the Biblical Noah story was adapted from other, older stories and repurposed for its new context, and now it's being adapted again and repurposed again and people are crying foul.

Yes, truly fresh material has been tougher to come by over the last several ages, what with all the hashing together of each other's myths and origin tales.

Not Aronofsky's best movie.
But a hell of a lot better than most of the assembly-line trash being inflicted on the multiplexes these days (I'm looking at you, dystopian chick-lit movie producers, and Marvel of course).

Ironic that sectarian interpretation orthodoxy would break out on a board about a movie with the same theme.
Noah and the Big Burly Chieftan-guy have two different takes on human nature and "our reason for being", and the movie kinda plays out along that line, plus two other major lines.
But if you insist on theologic congruance, please bear in mind that this board is partially about movies--mostly really--and we have some reverence for the imagination.
It should be an honor to have one's sacred moral tale done by a great movie guy like Aronofsky. You're privileged.

Seriously, interesting factoid I wasn't aware of. There is a striking resemblance between the sculpture and the actor!
Except Chucky didn't have horns!
The Hebrew word for a 'horn' and that for a 'beam' or 'ray' are the same, it just means a sort of projection. Moses came down from Sinai with his face lit up. Unfortunately many early Bible translators opted for the least logical!
To date, most intelligent Moses adaptation is 'Moses the Lawgiver' by Burgess, with Burt Lancaster.

oh and it isnt really my "sacred moral tale" - the story of an ancient world wide flood seems to be part of most faiths or cultures.
Yes, but it refers to the 'waters of chaos' which is universal archetype. People never internalise these things.
