Not all movies based on a Biblical Character are Biblically Sound

While we can be grateful for films with a Christian worldview or with a Biblical theme we must also be discerning in regards to our entertainment choices.

Here is a quote concerning the film "Noah"

"Noah's director Darren Aronofsky, a self-described atheist who made the Oscar-nominated hit The Black Swan, has described the movie as is "the least biblical biblical film ever made" and called Noah "the first environmentalist". According to one early review, the name "God" is not actually spoken at any stage."

Those are the words of a movie reviewer. You can read the entire review HERE.

Darren Aronofsky wrestles one of scripture's most primal stories to the ground and extracts something vital and audacious, while also pushing some aggressive environmentalism, in Noah. Whereas for a century most Hollywood filmmakers have tread carefully and respectfully when tackling biblical topics in big-budget epics aimed at a mass audience, Aronofsky has been daring, digging deep to develop a bold interpretation of a tale which, in the original, offers a lot of room for speculation and invention.

I think I will skip this movie and just read Genesis 6-8 for the best account of what happened in the life of Noah.

By the way, you will find the title "Lord" or "God" twenty three times in Genesis 6-8, that is twenty three more times than you will hear the "Lord" or "God" referenced in a movie that is supposedly based upon the story of Noah.

I think I will stick with the Holy version over the Hollywood version,
