Noah

The Bible tale is not a story of human courage.

It is not a story of divine justice and it is not a story of divine mercy.

It is a story of a mad God and the astounding destruction he authors.

Probably not how the film frames it.

Critics like the movie.

Recall that the critics - especially the Jews - hated The Passion of the Christ, which was very, very Biblical and very, very Christian.

And, maybe that's the whole reason why they hated The Passion and are fine with Noah.

The Passion was inescapably and distinctly Christian, so they shouted themselves hoarse that it was anti-Semitic.

Noah?

Absolutely nothing about it looks Christian.

Or even Biblical.

Just another disaster movie in which the hero saves his family and a boatload of animals from bad men and bad weather.

But not from God.
