Looks like a lot of people kinda wanted to see Noah this weekend. With a $44 million opening weekend it was number one at the box office.
The audience grade was a C. Not too good. But I think a lot of people are unhappy with the liberties the film takes with the original fable. Apparently the films message of taking care of the environment is pissing a lot of fundamentalists off.

"Apparently the films message of taking care of the environment is pissing a lot of fundamentalists off."

Odd.

Are the "Christians" pissed off because of how the film tried to show divine creation working with scientific concepts like the Big Bang and evolution?

"There's been a lot of talk about Noah and Christianity, which is kind of weird because Noah isn't a Christian movie. It's a very Jewish movie, rooted in Jewish spirituality and made by a filmmaker who - while now a non-believer - was raised in the Jewish faith. There's no Christianity in this movie, which takes its cues only from the Old Testament and the midrash surrounding it, and features no hints or promises of a messiah. To approach this movie from a Christian point of view is ignorant, but what else is new with that crowd.

That's why the film's reconciliation of scientific cosmology and evolution with Genesis' creation myth is no big deal. Most Jews - and all Catholics - believe in evolution, if of a theistic variety. It's only the superstitious Protestant types who cling to Creationism as a literal thing in the face of all evidence otherwise. With that in mind it was almost a waste of time asking Darren Aronofsky about reconciling Creation with evolution when i interviewed him last week... almost. The question opened up a line of discussion that I think is vital to the non-believers who have been dismissing this movie out of hand as religious swill. Why, you have to wonder, do we approach a Bible movie differently than one based on Greek myth?"

Things I learnt while watching Noah

* A dirty old man can make any girl a slut
* Jebus gave Noah and his wife Drugs!
* When all seems lost, Drink!
* It all ends with a Big Gay Rainbow
