A lot of people only know the watered down versions.
This movie sounds awful. I just was reading about all of the weird things in the storyline. Fallen angel rock monsters...
I've gotta say, that's the first thing that makes me even consider seeing this movie. Do they look like the guy from NeverEnding Story?Fallen angel rock monsters...
Fallen angel rock monsters...
the best part is if they were in the Bible verbatim, they would be accepted and defended fervently as fact
the graphic novel you mean?

This is getting attention because this is the first "re-imagining" of a Bible Tale. Understandably so because of the criticism it would get for "lack of authenticity" and "changing the facts", but you have to look at it this way: MOST OF HISTORY'S TALES HAVE BEEN "RE-IMAGINED" IN FILM, POEMS, NOVELS, ETC.
Case in point is "300" and its pre-sequel "300:Rise of an Empire" which embellishes the FACTS (characters, battles, society, etc.) of the Greco-Persian Wars. I could go on and name others: Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator, Braveheart, Dozens of WW2 movies, As long as you understand you're seeing an embellishment, that's fine. The studio is not marketing this film as the truth and most of the footage shown on TV sells that the movie dives into A LOT of fiction surrounding the Flood Events.
At the end of the day, Controversy creates Cash and I see that supporters of only "true bible movies" are going to drive more movie-goers to see what all the attention is about.
Aronofsky's take has always been just his own take on the characters. He never said otherwise. People are taking it way to serious. Just like Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' was a comedic take on Bible stories as well, Aronofsky's is just a fictional fantasy/sci-fi tale based on the story of Noah which he first produced it as a graphic novel. Thats all. Nothing else.
Yes, just like 300 or Gladiator was based on things from those periods as well. Besides not every person in the world believes the story of Noah or follows the same religions. There are so many different religions in this world. People believe in different things, some follow religions, others don't. Aronofsky grew up Jewish, he said he always was interested in the story of Noah. So he created something of his own just like 300, Gladiator, Braveheart, etc etc....its just a story and I think it was pretty creative and beautifully made. Im glad the comic is now available in English, just ordered it. My French version is tough to read
