Noah The Film. Banned And Vilified

[Patientman63]

I will have to go and see this new Russell Crowe and Ray Winstone film, its got the religious nutters foaming at the mouth for some reason, in America the Christian fundamentalists have come out and said that anyone in Christendom who enjoys or supports this film should be burnt at the stake

Its now been banned in various Muslim countries, Indonesia, Quatar, Bahrain and U.A.E. have all forbidden it to be shown

If it's causing a stink like this it must be worth seeing just to find out what all the outrage is about, apparently the word God is not mentioned in the film once

What's this? Christian AND Muslim fundamentalists agreeing with each other???!!

What next, the lion and the lamb lying down together, the Jews and the gentiles popping out for a pint...

Maybe something good can come of this

 

[Why Always Ste]

Was gonna give this a miss but now its banned and the religious maniacs disagree with it I now wanna see it... clever marketing

I see Jennifer Connelly is in it as well; now, that might compensate for Ray ''professional cockney geezer'' Winstone!

What's it about?

Its a remake of evan almighty

They are probably not happy with Noah having an Aussie accent and when god asks him to save the animals replying with the words "fair dinkum" and then attempting to throw half of the creatures on the barbie.

Why would a film based on a fairy story attract a deluge of complaints?,I know there's always someone offended about everything these days;but to flood the internet with a tsunami of faux outrage over an ancient fable is just strange.

What's it about?

I dunno know, but a lot of those people living on the Somerset Levels have cleaned up as extras.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

As I understand it, they've basically made a fantasy film vaguely inspired by the Noah story. But since the Noah story is a "historical fact" it's got a lot of people upset. A bit like that U571 film.

I was excited about this film anyway, because it's by Darren Aronofsky, who's a great director.

For any of the current Abrahamic religions to get upset about someone reinterpreting a story that they nicked 3000 years ago from the Babylonians is fucking hilarious.

I would have preferred it to be based on the most ancient version of the flood myth but I shall have a chuckle as I watch this version as I've already heard about the alien/angels that help him build it.
