The Theme Of God In The Movie NoahBy Darren Aronofsky

In “Noah Count and the Arkansas Ark”, Gary Blackwood demonstrates the value of education and how the narrators’ point of view regarding his family’s lack of education changes over the course of the story. This story could demonstrate the story of Noah’s Ark, from the Bible. At the beginning of the story, the author demonstrates the family’s lack of education and how the people in his community thought that his father didn’t know what he was doing. By the end of the story, the narrators’ perspective of his family’s lack of education has changed.

     In this essay I will take an interpretive look at Genesis chapters 5-9. The main focuses will be: the relationship between God, Noah, and Noah’s generation of mankind; the barriers and boundaries for

In both Gilgamesh and Noah and the Flood, man’s wickedness leads to death, destruction, and rebirth all caused by billions of gallons of water sweeping the earth’s surface. The flood in both stories destroys most of mankind. The floods represent rebirth and a new beginning for mankind, as well as the gods and God’s wrath. In Gilgamesh the gods decide to destroy mankind by flooding the earth for six days and nights. Utnapishtim is chosen to build a boat in order to restart mankind after the flood. In the Bible God also decides to flood the earth due to the increase in wickedness. God chooses Noah to build an ark and store seven pairs of every clean animal and two of every other kind of animal on it

The story of Noah and the ark is probably one of the most read stories of the bible. Perhaps it is because of the great tragedy it portrays, or because it is a story of salvation. Noah and his family along with the animals were saved from the flood, while the other people and animals perished as a result of it.

Everything on earth will perish. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.” 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.” This was God’s command to Noah, unlike Utnapishtim who was told the secret of the flood by one of the gods.

At the time of this story God saw how the thoughts of mankind were evil and he decided to destroy what he had created with a great flood intending to drown the earth. He chose Noah and his family to build an ark big enough to contain two of every animal to repopulate the earth. The world was flooded for a hundred and fifty days until the water subsided back into land.

As a discussion group, we talked about many things but, finally came to the conclusion that the movie Noah is not an accurate account of what historians really say happened. The biblical account and the account portrayed in the movie is quite different and does not have many similarities. One thing in the movie that resonates truth is the creation story. During Noah’s journey with his family to find Methuselah he told them the biblical story of creation. This is the same story that is in the Bible. This is one true fact that the director kept in the story line of the movie. Within our group we talked about how there were a couple more similarities, but we didn’t highlight them because we all know the Noah story. We spent more of our time on

Through this section, the main themes that are reoccurring is that greatness and/or power was achieved at human cost and every action that is made has consequences. This sections points out the severity of violence and how it is a detrimental factor towards humanity. This is seen through the story of Cain and Abel, where Cain kills Abel. The Sin of Cain is symbolic to humankind’s failure to restrain from the impulse of violence. The Story of Noah is the same way, where God uses violence to combat violence and it doesn’t work. Noah’s story though was used as an example though that never really happened.

Noah passes on to his children a tradition of listening to God and respecting all that God created, especially those that are innocent, i.e. animals. Through a series of visions which Noah interprets as the plan of God unfolding, Noah learns about the flood that is to come, and discerns that the Creator intends to punish humans for their inhumanity. Therefore, Noah has the twofold responsibility of being the head of a family and a prophet of God.

Noah’s Ark, A story from the Bible that has been told in many different ways. We have known this story for many years but really, it's just another way people have interpreted what happened. The main idea of Noah's Ark is on how God got tired of all sins from all sinners on Earth. God decided to get rid of all evil. He only saved Noah and his family.

As a kid raised in a religious household, the first stories I remember hearing were bible stories. My mother would insist we read the bible before going to bed at night and she even gave me a children’s book that had bible stories from A to Z, It was filled with colorful drawings and simple words. I remember pulling the book from my shelf at night and flipping through the pages. This is why Peter Spier’s Noah’s Ark stood out to me. It brought back the nostalgia and reminded me of the Bible stories I would read and hear about at Sunday school. The book is also a 1977 Caldecott Award Winner and through its simple drawings, interactive pages and captivating images, it is easy to see why it was elected.

Noah, the ark-builder finds favor with God amidst destruction and evokes the trait of being loyal. This trait represents Noah’s character well because he put great trust in God and did whatever he needed to do to save humanity and make sure that life for all living creatures were pleasant. Noah listened to God and understood why God felt the way he did about the world, he also played a vital role in the building of the ark that saved he, his family, and living creatures from the flood, and lastly, abided by the covenant that God made with him. Because of Noah’s obedience for God throughout the flood and covenant, this paper will argue that the central character trait of Noah is loyalty.

Let us go back to our biblical history and the days of Noah. Before the flood everyone was carrying on their daily life paying no attention to Noah’s warnings. Not only were they not paying attention but they would scoff at him and think he was a crazy man. When the flood came it took them all away and only Noah and his family were saved.

We, as Christians, must understand that there is only a fine line between God's wrath and God's love. In other words, human despair, of which we often view as God's wrath upon us, is a stepping stone to experience God's love. Only in Christ, we can experience God’s grace which transforms human despair into hope. The account of Moses and the ark displays both God's wrath and love for His people. And His action was made in accordance of His immutable attributes. By looking at the contexts and His dialogues with Noah, we will know that God's wrath and love are inseparable attributes of God.

For my essay I will be analyzing the similarities  and differences between the interpretations of  Noah the film: Noah (Paramount Pictures and Regency Enterprises, 2014) and the bible story. Writer-director Darren Aronofsky, was brought up with a Jewish education and a deep fascination in the story of Noah 's ark it took him over 15 years to get the film afloat. But with all biblical movies there is always some type of controversy and unfortunately it even comes from people who have never even seen the movie. The intended audience of the film is unclear, which I find a little weird because I expected the audience to Christians and people of the Jewish faith who know the story of Noah.
