Noah is a 2014 American biblically inspired epic fantasy film directed by Darren Aronofsky, written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel, and based loosely on the story of Noah's Ark. The film stars Russell Crowe as Noah, along with Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins. The film was released in North American theaters on March 28, 2014, in 2D and IMAX, while several countries released a version of the film converted to 3D and IMAX 3D. Noah received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed over $359 million worldwide. The film was banned in Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, and Indonesia prior to its release because it is seen by the governments of those countries as contradicting the teachings of Islam. In many Islamic juristic schools, the portrayal of prophets such as Noah is forbidden.
A man is chosen by his world's creator to undertake a momentous mission before an apocalyptic flood cleanses the world.
***SPOILER ALERT***
Stone golems, of course. Now the whole story makes sense, thank you, Hollywood.
And the winner for best wall of fire goes to Noah. Now bring me the popcorn!
I know a "little" Abrahamic religion that would definitely have had a deeper impact on me if this alternative Noah story, starring Russell Crowe, was the one told back to me when I was 8 or something.
