  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Who else is excited for Darren Aronofsky's "Noah"?

Wow. People are turned off because of Russell Crowe.. why?

If an artist is a great painter but an asshole, would you not look at or appreciate his artwork? If a porn star is a douche-bag will you avoid all of his porn?

Love him or hate him, Russell Crowe is a good actor. I'm surprised the thread isn't filled with religion bashers though.

I'll definitely see the film if it gets good reception/reviews. You can't always bank on a great director although I'm VERY excited.
 
I don't go out of my way to watch things with actors that attach themselves to bombs habitually - so that's a no for me.

Same logic I use for Eddie Murphy, though Norbit was actually funny.

I've been a massive fan of Darren Aronofsky since I first watched Requiem for a Dream when I was 18. That and Black Swan are easily in my top 10 favourite movies, so I'm really excited to see what he brings to the Biblical tale of the Ark.

What I think is going to be incredible about this movie is how it creatively interprets the story of Noah:



Another interesting detail:



I'm really excited to see Aronofsky's interpretation of Noah's tale!

Hollywood Reporter

Another thing I can't wait for is to hear Clint Mansell's soundtrack! His soundtracks for The Fountain and Black Swan are absolutely incredible.

And I absolutely adore Emma Watson and Jennifer Connolly (she was absolutely incredible in Requiem for a Dream, and I'm really glad she's working with Darren Aronofsky again), and Russell Crowe is a hot daddy, so there's eye candy in it for both sides. :lol:

What do you guys think? Are you put off by it being partially based on a biblical tale, or will you be able to get past that and enjoy it for just being a good movie?

I think the reports are a bit off. The Bible was quite specific with the important details of the story, right down to the Arc's measurements and all. Granted, there were no Hollywood special effects, so none were described...... That was not an omission of detail, though.....

Some estimate there are 7.77 million species. Since there are only a negligible number of 'unclean' animals' (those the bible say are unclean), seven pairs time 7.77 million animals and you're looking in the region of 50 million animals.

Think of the logistic nightmare of getting food for these animals, or the sheer amount of piss, poop and gaseous emissions from Noah's floating pollution vessel.

An, yeah, it's a biblical theme film which is not that appealing.

Ah, but you forget, back then there weren't nearly as many variations in each species or breed. The animals were still at their basics. A cow was a cow, a horse a horse...... and so on.




Beyond that, the main reason I'm even considering it is that it has Logan Lerman in it.

And what's the last bomb Darren Aronofsky has directed/written?
 
My problem is Russell Crowe....not a fan....and potentially any Bible Tale is a wash for me (except I loved JC Superstar)

I am going to see Pompeii though.

That's an interesting bit of silliness. Where are you getting the notion that every individual species was involved?

Yeah, it's just a tale with a parallel in about every culture on the planet.
 
I enjoyed the movie - it is FIRST, entertainment. An artistic rendering of a biblical story that provides the shell of the plot, but leaves so much of the human element to the imagination.

Dimensions, yeah -- which interestingly give proportions that are unique among Deluge stories in that a craft with them would actually be able to survive in storm-torn seas. But it lacks all the real detail, like number of decks, how the animals got there, what exactly the "fountains of the deep" were, how the animals were taken care of, how Noah's neighbors reacted, where he got enough wood....

A Jewish mystic blogs about Noah.

Worth posting from that:

The Noah story as received is a mere one hundred verses, with little dialogue, minimal motivation, no character development or insight, no struggle; it is a skeleton of a narrative which the readers must flesh out with themsleves, projecting their experiences, emotions, and conflicts, and imagination onto the scaffold of plot to fully realize its many on complex meanings and implications. The movie Noah steps into those many gaps and fills them with clever, and sometimes crazed, midrashic storytelling. These are serious men (that's a shout out to you, Coen brothers, two other great biblical auteurs) who took the story before them, stepped back from the cultural pablum and childish pious-polyanna that has adhered to the Genesis narrative in the modern mind, and rebuilt it in a way so as to reclaim all its dark, dreadful, and dread-filled potency.

Don't be such a Doubting Thomas. You would be wrong. Not that you get to see a whole lot - a quick shot of his backside, lying in the cave, as his sons wrap him in a blanket.
 
The Ken Ham vs. Bill Nye thing covers the relevant Ark data for all the literalists in the house. (Bill Nye, of course, providing the rational version).
 
Unfortunately, the local cinema isn't going to be showing Noah for another two or three weeks. :cry: I can't wait for it to finally get here!
