EXCERPT FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES :
Noah, one of the last descendants of the peaceful line of Seth, is a vegetarian and a nomad, camping out on the brown hillsides with his wife (Jennifer Connelly) and their children. The family is occasionally harassed by marauders from the line of Cain, a clan that has blighted the planet with greed and industry, killing off animals and strip-mining precious minerals. Their leader is a shaggy, bellowing warlord named Tubal-Cain (Ray Winstone), conveniently the object of Noah’s justified vengeance as well as of fully merited divine judgment.
Is that a parody?
“is a vegetarian”
True by Gn 1:28, but when he steps off the ark, Noah is told to change his vegan ways by the Creator (Gn 9):
“All the beasts of earth, and the winged things of the sky, and the creeping things of earth, are to go in fear and dread of you, and I give you dominion over all the fishes of the sea.
This creation that lives and moves is to provide food for you;”
STRIP-MINING PRECIOUS METALS??
“Noah, one of the last descendants of the peaceful line of Seth, is a vegetarian and a nomad, camping out on the brown hillsides with his wife (Jennifer Connelly) and their children. The family is occasionally harassed by marauders from the line of Cain, a clan that has blighted the planet with greed and industry, killing off animals and strip-mining precious minerals.

So basically Noah was a wimp and took his ball and left. Just so happens it was rainy season.
That plot line is hilarious.
Did you make that up yourself?
