What if Noah's experience of being wrong (about what God wanted him to do with his granddaughters) was a sign that he could also have been wrong about his interpretation of God's motivation with the flood. My main problem is that I wanted the film to hint more in the direction of the flood being natural consequences (Karma if you will) rather than wrath. It's hard to make my version work with the way the film was set up. I think if I were Aronofsky, I would have strayed further from literal biblical stories and done a lot more to imply an ecological disaster brought on by a careless society (and, yes, this would have been an even worse anachronism if one has to imagine an ancient society doing that much damage to the earth). Tough challenge to re-imagine this story. But I also just have to say that the way Aronofsky imagined the watchers - just sad. I'd give it a *** as well. Lots of problems but lots of thought-provoking parts. Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391426206936180224noreply@blogger.com
