Some of us may have read the Bible, some of us may have not. But we all now the story of Noah.
You don't? Nah, I don't believe you. It can't be. You must -at least- have heard about it, about how God told Noah to build an ark to safe Earth's pure species from the apocalyptic flood that was to cleanse the world.
There you go, it has just popped into your mind! Hurray! :)
It may be blurry, still... No need to panic! Read carefully ;)
Darren Aronofsky's production, "Noah", depicts this beautiful story perfectly.
This classic story is infuriated to action by some magic elements which make it specially tasty for everyone, religious or not. There's also war, among tribes and families, and among the family members themselves.
"Shall I die alone?" asks himself Ham, one of Noah's son, when they are about to leave all humans to die in the newly created sea.
"Shall I be granted the privilege to live?" asks herself Ila, Shem's girlfriend (Shem is the oldest son of Noah) and Noah's adoptive daughter.
"Shall human race become extinct?" asks himself Noah, who struggles with this question all throughout the film.
Aronofsky has managed to balance the classic story with some new paint-strokes, resulting in an outstanding outcome, which makes it a nice treat for any free night. Nice film, great shoot, even greater actors and actresses. That's a ten for me!
I'm posting the trailer and poster, hope you guys like it!
