Yes that's right I am back! Gratitude for being patient with me my followers!
THIS IS SPOILERY!!!!!!!! If you Have NOT seen Noah TURN BACK NOW !!!!!!
So today i went to the Matinee today And went and seen the new Darren Aronofsky film Noah! I saw the film In 2D But was amazed regardless! now out of the whole film I had Only A couple of negative thoughts but the rest of the film was quite enjoyable! Now i do Know and i am aware that Darren is an athiest But to be Honest, He did an awsome job in My Mind!
Ok so first off I really enjoyed Russel Crowe And Ray Winstone`s performances! Russel As The title Character Noah Just was beautifull! I admit It I went to see the film mainly for Russel but thats beside the Point He made A fantastic Noah and a dreamy one at that! Ray made such a great bad guy! He made a great Badguy that A Person both wanted more out Of and from as well as that of a character that was fun to dislike.
Ok so I have only seen two other Darren Aronofsky films, The Fountain and Black Swan, In My opinion I thought Noah was A fun film to watch. When we were listening and watching the creation of the world we saw it in a more ''evolutionairy'' process, this was fast paced awsome camera work that was Intriguing, he used this type of camera work a couple types first was that of when Noah planted a special seed that Basically made a life grow at the foot of a Beautiful Mountain area, and then He used it again during Noah's retelling of the Bible story And the whole creation part. This kinda camera work is cool and intriguing to me, but you see he used this camera work in the fountain near the end of the film and all I can say Is WOW! I dont recall this fast pace camera work was used in Black swan but it was beautifull regardless and added an interesting layer to the film Noah!
In the Movie Noah, we see the boy Noah see his father killed by a descendent of Cain called Tubal-Cain (who Is the King! of all the bad Misguided people and decendents of adam and eve!) But ok so we see how the world had been devestated by these descendents of Cain who were originally helped by fallen angels called Watchers! And these same beings Help Noah out later On! So ok, we see A father named Noah now with His family, And we see that Noah and his family are vegetarians! ( they dont eat meat! EVER! in the Movie) well noah ends Up Having this weird dream where he sees this beautiful alive and green Mountain, he then sees a vast Burned black ground that turns Out to be blood ( EWWW) and then hes Breathing UNDERWATER! well then Noah wakes up and tells His wife Naameh ( Played by the beautiful Jennifer Connely) About the dream and how it comes from the Creator, Well then they decide to go to the mountain which is where Noah's grandfather, Methusula, lives, along the way Noah's sons, Shem or Ham, finds a Young girl amidst a slaughter Of her kinsman where she recieved a bad Injury to her womb and Is made barren because of it, well Noah being Kindhearted takes the girl in and adopts her Into his family, her name is Ila ( played later by Emma Watson). So some of Ila's family's killers show up and chase Noah and his family Into Lands belonging to The Watchers. well the Watchers end up abducting Noah and his family but then One of them Believes Noah's story and takes Him and his family to where Methusula and His mountain is. Noah goes up with his eldest Shem, and And we Meet Methusula ( Anthony Hopkins) and Methusula makes a joke with Shem about Berries.... well shem gets Put to sleep While Noah and he talks... So Methusula gets Noah to think about the creator's message and it works Noah realizes what he must do in Building the ark and Methusula gives Noah a seed from The Original Garden of Eden. well then we see Noah and Shem return to the rest of their family and then the other watchers show up and we hear the rest of their story and Noah plants the seed and then we see cool camera work showing the effect this has and A new forest is grown within a matter of Minutes right around their little camp and The Watchers decide then to help build the ark as they Believe the creator's hand is at work! so now the Movie jumps forward.... About eight years or so and the ark Is nearly done. First comes all that flies so birds! Then all that slithers and lives partially on land an partially in water, so reptiles!.... well once the animals are On In there spots Noah and His family get this Incense going and they put the animals to sleep and secure them! Well Man kind under King Tublar-Cain has become incredibly violent and becoming cannoaballistic too each other. Tublar-Cain Leads His, following the birds, Kind to Noah who He is told '' the ark is for the innocent'' and not the Likes of Tublar's flock! this enrages this king. Tublar-Cain Promises to return and claim the ark, '' Fortress'' , and Makes camp with His flock Away from Noah and His ark after The Watchers make their alliegience Known and pushes Tubal's forces back.... Now Ila and shem are shown to Have fun in the forest! This leads to Ila talking to both Noah and Naameh and revealing that she is barren at this Point, and that what she wants Is for Shem, Ham and Japheth( the three sons of Noah) to each be able to have relationships and A family which is something she cant give Shem. Noah then decides to enter Into Tubalar's camp and see If he can find three girls he could bring on to his ark to'save' well Noah realizes the finality of the charge the creator gave him and the evil that was in mankind that must be cleansed!( this is the beggining of My Issue) during this Point, Naameh goes and talks with Methusula and asks him to help Ila and Noah. the berry Joke is brought up again! ( Poor old guy does not get his berry till he dies! you would think shem would remember!) well at this Point the mammals show up two by two! ( many digital creatures!) and they are all put to sleep! Ham argues with His father about finding a girl for himself and ends up running off and Ila runs after him but ends Up meeting Methusula, who is looking for his berries! well Ham runs off to Tublar-Cain's camp and ends up falling into a pit where the dead lay, in there he meets a girl.... back with Methusula and Ila, Ila attempts to help great grandfather find a berry but ends up talking and Methusula tells Ila He has yet to give His adopted grandaughter His blessing, and gives it to her, Unknown is that He reverses her barenness. The sky becomes thick with rain clouds and Noah sends Shem out to go looking for ham and Ila... Shem finds Ila and the two make sweet passionate love in the forest! well the rains start as Shem and Ila return to the ark and Noah goes out searching for Ham! At this point ham and his girl get out of the pit and as they Are running his girl gets her foot caught In a animal trap. At This Point when the rains started Tublar-Cain gives A speech to his flock and they start running towards the ark In desire to kill the giants and take over the ark.... Noah finds Ham and his girl as the flock is coming at them and Noah just grabs his son who gets dragged and watches his girl get killed by a running mob... well now they run to the ark.... the battle begins and The Watchers find that since they disgraced themselves from the Creator by Helping adam and eve and the descendants of Cain and they were killed or tried to return to the creator, they found they could not! well know that they had helped the creator's choosen, Noah, when the Humans defeated them they returned to their true Angel forms and returned to the creator! The Battle raged on and by the last Angel returning to the creator the waives crashed into the ark and the flood of the earth begain! Tubal-Cain who killed the first giant in the battle got a nasty wound and ended up hobbling uto the ark and managed to climb it and somehow managed to get himself inside it with His axe\Hammner! ... As the rains come down Methusula finally finds his berry and eats it and dies in the flood..... Ok so Ham eventually finds Tubal and tells him His father's plan And Tublar fills ham's head with thoughts of vengenance and Betraying his father. eventually Ila starts feeling sick and learns that she is preagnant and when Ila, Shem, and Naameh tell Noah, he becomes hostile,on this day the rains stop falling from the sky when they tell Noah the news. learning the news and seeing the rains stop Noah thinks that mankind was not to survive the flood at all, and then tells his family his reasoning of How things will be which turns Most of them from Noah as He asks for help from the creator and Being answered with nothing Noah believes that the creator has turned from him until the issue is resolved..... Ila's belly quickly Grows in the time they are at sea.... Shem and Ila decide to leave and have a Built a boat for themselves, but on the day they were to leave, Noah appears And sets fire to their craft and this causes Ila to go Into early labour. Naameh takes care of her and shem stands guard. Its at this time Tubal hatches his plan and gets ham to trick his father to come to him.... well a battle beguins between Tubal- Cain and Noah and Ila gives birth to twin girls and shem decides he wont Let His father kill his daughters and joins the brawl below. the Ark crashes into the top of a mountain which Knocks everyone off balance but the men continue their fight, Tubal looks like hes going to take out Noah when Ham comes to his sences and kills the nasty king! Noah climbs to the top where he finds Ila with her Newborns and looks like hes about to kill them when Ila pleads to let her soothe her babes first, as she hums the same tune he Humned to her when he first found her, the Old Loving noah returns and as he readys to do the deed he finds he cant...... a little while later Noah Now the waters Have recided and dry land is abundant again and teeming with new life and the animals Hve been release we see Shem building a home for his family, we then see Noah as he goes thru this stage of drinking and then we find him butNaked And his eldest and His Youngest boy help him we see ham and he decides to leave and the pain of lossing the girl and everything that happened was too much and he leaves.... Ila has words with Noah asking him why he did not kill the babes and he gives her sweet explanation'' Love'' and then he goes and finds his wife and they play in the dirt!
Ok so that was my synopsis! lol Ok so i had issue with seeing Noah go from this Man who wanted to save His family and the ''Innocent'' to this Man who Believes, after seeing the horror of Cain's descendents killing each other and other horrors of mankind, that Humanity in general must completely Perish if Life is to beguin anew! dont get me wrong theres lots of good reasoning behind it But I dont.... think Noah should have reacted so harshly towards His adopted daughter and his first born son's preagnancy. Noah should have been more reasonable but i guess after seeing the horror of what man kind had become and what he believed to be the creator's will... still this was the one part that rubbed me wrong!
You see i do have a christian Background but I also have A very sciency way of thinking so i think this movie is great if you come to it just wanting a good movie to enjoy. Dont come expecting anything from it and you will find it a far more enjoyable experience. Well in all the movie was great and I enjoyed It all! And would see it again!
