Produce Movies With Accuracy
Famous radio commentator Paul Harvey years ago would end his broadcast with the words, "and now you know the rest of the story."
While remembering those words today and reviewing the recent movie "Noah" I believe that Paul would have strongly corrected the producers of this movie saying that the movie horribly distorted the views of one of the Bible's great heroes of faith.
The movie has a big-name director, popular leading actors and lot of drama to draw viewers into the theaters.
Probably from the directors viewpoint they hoped this film would become a Hollywood hit but reviews have been highly negative in terms of biblical accuracy.
The movie producers have grossly distorted biblical accuracy with Gnostic and other arcane elements and made the film into a huge Hollywood melodrama.
Noah in the movie is portrayed as an angry, tormeneted and murderous man, in complete contradiction of the Bible's description of him as a righteous and godly person.
The film producers added many fictional parts especially the many scenes with mythical rock creations (supposedly fallen angels) who actually built the ark with wood from a miraculously grown instant forest.
Regrettably the movie doesn't mention at all that Noah had an intimate and lifetime relationship with God but the movie attempts to indicate that Noah had vague clues about what the Creator wants.
As Paul Harvey would say, "if you want to know the rest of the story," we offer reality with the Biblical verse from Genesis 6:19 which says that "Noah walked with God," and "walking with God" means having a daily, lifelong relationship with God, obeying His commandments and following His way of life.
If Hollywood is going to produce good movies then do so with accuracy.
