Peter Jackson would be a good choice.
Wow. Can they do a remake? With the same title, and the same description?
“Lot, leader of the Hebrews, believes his people can co-exist with the Sodomites, a disastrous decision.”
To me it would have been too traumatic to see how our Savior endured the treatment He suffered. I still can’t get myself to see it.
Reader Andy544 had an excellent reply. Here is an excerpt:
This fairy tale/fable movie twists Scripture, by adding sequences and changing facts that never occurred in the Bible's actual account. For instance, in the Bible, EIGHT people entered the Ark- Noah and his wife, and Noah's 3 sons and their wives. The movie completely 'botches' that concept by making 2 of the sons bachelors, and adds a 'stowaway' from the people outside the Ark, thus depicting a false composition and number of people onboard the Ark- a key element in the Biblical account of Noah, thereby creating a total fabrication and LIE about the four ACTUAL COUPLES who re-populated planet earth after the Flood. Also, the fairy tale/fable "Noah" makes HEROES out of the Nephilim, the Giant offspring of fallen angels and women that Genesis 6:1-4 speaks of.
“Why must Christians take the movie personally when flood stories permeate almost all cultures?”
Simple: Because they regard The Bible as more than a collection of stories. It is the Word of God and the Literal Truth.
THE JESUS FILM - 35th anniversary
...because Seeing
is Believing
Every eight seconds, somewhere in the world, another person indicates a decision to follow Christ after watching the “JESUS” film.
Every eight seconds... that’s 10,800 people per day, 324,000 per month and more than 3.8 million per year! That’s like the population of the entire city of Pittsburgh, PA coming to Christ every 28 ¼ days. And yet, if you are like many people, you may have never even heard of it.
Called by some “one of the best-kept secrets in Christian missions,” a number of mission experts have acclaimed the film as one of the greatest evangelistic tools of all time. Since 1979 more than 200 million men, women and children worldwide have indicated decisions to follow Jesus after viewing the film. In addition, through hundreds of partners an estimated 10+ million decisions have been made as the film “JESUS” is used extensively by the Body of Christ worldwide.
“But how can any single film reach so many people and touch so many lives?”
It is the power of the Word of God in their heart language.
That's his style. I rarely come away from reading him feeling "informed" or at least learning something new. Sort of like listening to Sean Hannity although Hannity's not smarmy just vacuous.
It is the most effective propaganda ever created, what kind of thinking person could see movies as having no importance, or effect?
"You must remember that of all the arts, for us, the most important is cinema.” - Lenin
That isn't the only reason. The movie also claims the reason the "creator" destroyed the earth was because mankind abused the environment and promotes the evolution fairy tale.
I don't know why you don't get why Christians are offended by the movie. It's a movie based on false advertising -- that the story of Noah would be the one told in the Bible -- designed to suck money out of Christians.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with telling Christians they shouldn't waste their money seeing it. If you don't like the criticism of the movie, don't read it.
Maybe they think it is their job to warn Christians and their families not to waste money on a movie that isn't remotely true to the Biblical account of Noah.
I'm sick and tired of the complaining about the complaints about the movie.
I wouldn't hold out much hope of that happening. What filmmaker wants to be subjected to constant death threats for the rest of his or her life?
God’s not dead is a great movie. Very well done and the professor plays a great part.
The sea change in Hollywood is already underway. “Son Of God” & “God’s Not Dead” flicks are in the vanguard of change!!! Even “Noah” helps a bit!!! Look....the Obamabot Hollywood is passe’!!! No one with half a brain cares what Michael Douglas thinks or says.....ditto for DeNiro, Weinstein, DeCaprio, Spielberg, NIcholson, Streep, Clooney, etc......all of them has beens and boring to boot!!!
Have faith in our maker. He and he alone controls the destiny of the world and life, itself. Obama and all his “Hollywood: elistist Obamabot low life dregs, are just mere human beings ....and, like all of us that have been born and will die when God carries out his purpose and deems our individual life purpose has been fulfilled. Those.....like Obama, etc. that believe they are living gods will find mortality is real and cannot be changed. Dumb folks....that’s what they are!!! They need to prayed for and brought back to salvation from evil and Satan.
Remember this great experiment called America is God’s will!!! How come???
Why, simple....the Almighty gave us the great leaders we needed....when we really needed them!!! George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan!!! And...he will lead us to a new leader that will sustain and grow the great American nation into the future. God is good!!! Have Faith!!!
Doug Giles is talking about the movie Noah, which opened Friday, not Son of Man which was based on the miniseries “The Bible”
Well actually if you think about it, he has to see it, so he can write an opinion about it.
Yeah that too, but you have to expect that from atheist
Last night a good friend took her son to see Noah. This morning he told her that he had spent the last four hours reading the first twenty five chapters of Genesis.
Perhaps God is using this director to plant seeds which we can’t recognize. The friend’s son hasn’t read the Bible before but he may be beginning to see the truth of God’s Word.
