I'm the "little guy" who wrote a blog post critiquing an early draft of the Noah script because of my own research into the subject matter. Well, when things went south in the studio screenings of the movie with religious audiences, the blood hound media scoured the internet for negative quotes, found my post, and it went viral.
I thus became Satan for Paramount and its elitist director of dark unsympathetic sick and twisted heroes, Darren Aronofsky.
I finally saw the movie. And now I know why Paramount and its hired Christian marketers would not let me into an early screening to correct my analysis of the early script of Noah.
Because I was right.

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
That is the reason the Scriptures record
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Well the Lord looked down from his window in the sky
And said I created man but I don’t remember why
Nothin’ but fightin’ since creation day
I’ll send a little water and I’ll wash’em all away
So the Lord came down to look around a spell
And there he found Noah behavin’ mighty well
And that is the reason the Scriptures record
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord...
The Lord said Noah there’s gonna be a flood
And there’s gonna be some water and there’s gonna be some mud
Take off your hat Noah and take off your coat
Get a handshave and shave that and build yourself a boat
Noah said Lord I don’t believe I could
The Lord said Noah get some sturdy gopher wood
Ya never know what you can do till you try
Build it fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord...
Now Noah said there it is there it is Lord
The Lord said Noah it’s time to get aboard
Now take a creature a he and a she
And of course Mrs Noah and the whole family
Noah said Lord it’s gettin’ mighty dark
The Lord said Noah get these creatures in the ark
Noah said Lord it’s beginnin’ to pour
The Lord said Noah hurry up and shut the door
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord...
Well the ark rose up on the foot of the deep
And after forty days Mr Noah took a peek said
We ain’t movin’ Lord where are we at
The Lord said you’re sittin’ on a mount Ararat
Noah said Lord it’s gettin’ mighty dry
The Lord said Noah see My rainbow in the sky
Take all the creatures and people to earth
And don’t be more trouble than you’re worth
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
And he landed high and dry and he landed high and dry
And he landed high and dry
Aronosky is simply the wrong director for a Biblical epic. I’ve enjoyed several of his films; but he just shouldn’t have helmed this project. It would be like Elia Kazan, who preferred working with method actor types like Brando trying to direct The Ten Commandments in place of DeMille.
