The fuck is this incomprehensible shit? No wonder people mock theists whose religion is based in the bible.

I know the story takes place over like 500 years but tell that tale in a snappy 90 minutes.

Oh, and fuck that PETA liberal bullshit. Veganfan arguments aside, one of the reasons we evolved with bigger brains was the eating of meat. It apparently didn't offend god as he welcomed animal sacrifices. In fact, the whole story has a genesis in god favoring an animal sacrifice so keep your noble savage living in blissful ignorance editorial.

I went to this thinking Crowe would give a good performance and there might be some good special effects. Turned out to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

:lol:

To your point, I think hardcore animal activists are in way over their heads when it comes to global advocacy. In my opinion, this sort of movement is only possible and feasible in highly developed societies such as ours where prevailing material conditions as they relate to agricultural and the food industry make the elimination of meat from one's diet much easier to absorb as opposed to other less developed places where nutritious food is not always readily available. It is only in the former environment where advocating against the consumption of something like meat won't be met with blank stares and general bewilderment.

I agree with what you are saying.

The movie presents the eating of meat as the attribute that makes man evil with all other ills flowing from that act. The truth is that purposely abstaining from meat is a deviation from our omnivore nature, not the other way around. It may very well be an enlightened approach to abstain when nutritional supplements are available. However, to ignorantly present that the eating of meat is the original sin of humans really isn't well founded in the bible and even less so in anthropology.

The movie really is incoherent from the beginning as Noah scolds his son for picking a flower. If that is your worldview, that the killing of a plant is evil, then harvesting IS the equivalent of butchering.

It was just an altogether strange movie that failed both as a fantasy and as a religious move. Noah was reduced to a ranting Wiccan rather than a cornerstone of monotheism that evolved into several current religions.

I'm not a literalist by any means, especially about the flood story but if you are producing a work about Noah, how do you exclude him directly conversing with God, who gave him exact measurements for his ark? Even coming at the movie with an atheist perspective, you cannot just deny that part of the story both exists and is central.
