Will The Noah Movie Wake Some Up to TTATT? (page 2)

It's possible that discussion about it being fictional - in movie reviews etc may provoke some thought - but doubtful.

To JW's its a documentary.

They're making a big budget Moses story? What is the world coming to.

Meh... I already watched a Noah movie. It was called "Evan Almighty".

Some may look into reading the book of Enoch after watching the movie. I looked up details on the movie in wikipedia and it has a listing of the primary characters. One of those characters is called Samyaza. It identifies him as a fallen angel. When movie goers google that name, after they've watch it, they'll find that it's tied to the book of Enoch.

They'll wonder if it's true because Jude quoted from it.

I'm surprised they are even allowed to go as it is not made by the wt and is of a relgious nature.

Looks interesting. Is it just me, or does it seem that "the world's media" is paying a lot more attention to the stories of the bible lately? With little twists and turns for dramatic effect of course. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/filmchat/2013/05/scripture-on-the-silver-screen-new-productions-bring-bible-based-stories-to-life.html

why do you think this is?

After Peter Jackson and New Line made The Lord of the Rings, Hollywood immediately realized that any bloated, effects-saturated epic was now filmable (no matter the source material).

Here is how I think this works.

As children our sense of awe is programmed into us by the stories we are told by the people we trust.

God is awesome, fierce, powerful, venegeful--but, possibly can be persuaded toward mercy on our behalf.

Now what?

Survival instincts kick in!

Pleasing an unpredictable Skycopath profoundly enters our subconscious.

It doesn't matter what we later learn, unlearn or discover because the PRIMAL SURVIVAL program was launched subliminally.

Our amygdala is activated.

The minute I watched that movie trailer I got chill bumps and that same sense of awe flooded back into me like Pavlov's dog salivating

at the sound of the dinner bell.

Yadda Yadda: Love it. I need to remember that quote.

Okay, this trailer really got to me--talk about conflicted feelings! On the one hand, Russell Crowe--Oh, baby.

On the other hand, the sheer ridiculousness of the Noah account, plus how it's so obviously a compilation of two different renderings, was one of the things that led to my leaving this religion. So seeing this movie would be rather like...what's a good simile? Watching your worst enemy drive off a cliff in your new car? That's terrible, but you get my point. If the Noah account were true, which it is obviously, flamingly not, I'd like it to be with Russell Crowe and everyone dressed like Hunger Games extras and thousands of birds and snakes. Cool.
