NOAH, THE MOVIE: A REVIEW Chris gives his review of the newly released film, "Noah" starring Russell Crowe, directed by Darren Aronofsky who calls it "the most unbiblical, biblical film ever made." The film was released just yesterday, and may be called the most anti-God and anti-humanity film ever made. Its theme portrays God as heartless and needlessly cruel. While clearly pointing out the sin of mankind, it ultimately suggests that man's love and compassion is greater than God's. The story is presented as an environmentalist propaganda piece on overdrive. Man's greatest evil seems to be that he has destroyed the environment. Noah spends the last half hour of the film planning to murder his soon-to-be-born grandchild because he thinks "God" wants him to. This is because all of mankind is so evil that everybody -- including Noah and his family -- need to be wiped out. Noah's true purpose, we are told, was to save the innocent animals, watch the rest of humanity be destroyed, and then have himself and his family essentially commit suicide by refusing to have any more children. In a world without men, nature would be better off. Sadly, the Biblical message of the story of Noah -- one that shows how God's mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13) for those who believe -- is virtually absent. Instead, we are given the impression that God is unreasonable, and so man should just follow his own heart.
