Looks good. I am going to go see it.
Any so called Christian movie that has a disclaimer attached that says they have taken artistic license and they believe the movie is as close to biblical times as they deemed believable is not worth seeing.
Does Obammy do a an intro?

Bardwell is connect with the McLean Bible Church in the D.C. area and is totally straight up.
Noah was his stage name for Gilgamesh.
This is what the director said:
Taking the stage before the show, Aronofsky told the audience to expect the unexpected.
“It’s a very, very different movie,” he said. “Anything you’re expecting, you’re f-—ing wrong.”
Who would want to see a biblical story with that threat.
They make a big deal of Mexico being a Catholic country and that they expect it will be big in other Latin Catholic countries.
I call hogwash on that.
Last Lent I attended Mass in 29 different Catholic churches around the Pima diocese in southern AZ, which is larger than some states. This is a border area and there are lots of people originally from Mexico.
The churches that had the most weekday attendants were not in the primarily Hispanic neighborhoods. They have huge churches that are too large for the community that has replaced the older one. It would be me and maybe ten others. There are even large areas where there is a large Hispanic community and there isn’t even a church nearby.
But in the white, middle class and upper middle class neighborhoods, the churches, the chapels and the community rooms were stuffed with white people, mostly retired, and were regular daily attendees.
In the area north of Tucson, where I live, the churches are not filled with people from Mexico or of Mexican descent. Except from the failed mining towns, you’ll see mostly white people, and they are over-represented in the community.
I’m always suspicious of ‘Bible’ movies. There’s enough Bible fan-fiction in the world as it is.
