Note to Christians and those who believe the Bible: The producer
of the movie Noah, a self-professed atheist, says he is proud
of the fact that hes taken a story inspired by Gods word and
turned it into something so secular.
Director Darren Aronofsky called his movie the least biblical
biblical film ever made, The Telegraph reported. He also
claimed his leading character, Noah, was the first
environmentalist, something that suggests the movie storyline
doesnt exactly follow the Bibles.
And something else the suggests a serious divergence from the
biblical account: Not once during the movie is the name God
spoken, an early reviewer found, The Telegraph reported.
Christian groups have raised such an outcry that Paramount, the
studio thats put out the film, has issued an explanatory
statement.
It reads, in part: The film is inspired by the story of Noah
but at the same time, artistic license has been taken. The
statement also gives this helpful advice: The biblical story of
Noah can be found in the book of Genesis.
Mr. Aronofsky, meanwhile, describes his version of the biblical
story as a dark parable about sin, justice and mercy, that
leads Noah to serve as judge and jury of who gets on the boat
and who dies, The Telegraph said.
Among the complaints is that the director paints Noah as more a
man of the environment than a true follower of God.
The insertion of the extremist environmental agenda is a
problem, said Jerry Johnson, the president of the National
Religious Broadcasters group, in The Telegraph.
