Noah movie already banned in Islam

[Confused Ape]

CA, "People like myself" were the target audience according to the drift from Paramount.

They stupidly trusted their 160 million investment into the hands of someone who painted Noah as nasty raving lunatic, with the purpose of the flood- to kill- off over population and save the environment.
The only thing correct was the names, the water and the boat.

Did you read this review by a rabbi?

Movie Review| Noah: A Very Jewish Retelling

Even the most fervent Orthodox Jews are not Biblical Literalists. Orthodox Jews treat the Old Testament as the basis for a sophisticated oral tradition. We are absolutely not Biblical Literalists. There are certainly boundaries of acceptable allegory and well established interpretations that are preferred over others. But it’s not true literalism.

For Jews, Midrash has such a prominent place in Torah study. There are many kinds of Midrash, and one form of Midrash adds details and background to the Biblical narratives.

Now to your complaint about how Noah is portrayed.

I also loved the portrayal of Noah as a conflicted hero. He is so easy to love and admire for much of the movie. Later in the movie he becomes an anti-hero. You’re rooting against him. To me, this was a modern take on the famous dispute between the rabbis about whether Noah was only righteous compared to the sinners of his time or if he was truly righteous despite his evil milieu. Before everyone is killed in the flood, Noah is objectively good. He is good compared to the people of his time. But when it’s just him and his family, there are no more evil people to compare with Noah, he falls and seems less righteous.

Noah was part of Judaism long before Christianity came along. Why shouldn't there be a movie version of the Noah story based on Jewish tradition?

I'm now going to the Bible.

Luke 2:41-52

Twelve year old Jesus went missing and his parents went looking for him

"After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers."

I'm guessing that, as a Christian, you believe this really happened so I'm going to take the 'as if' approach.

Jesus would have been discussing Jewish theology because Christianity hadn't started yet. He would have known about Midrash so one topic of conversation could have been about when humans were given permission to eat meat. Back to the rabbi's review -

One Midrash teaches us that until Noah saved the animals in his ark, Man was prohibited from eating meat. Adam was a vegetarian. The animal world was protected and Man had no right to kill for his lunch. Only because Noah was responsible for the survival of the animals was he permitted to eat meat after the flood. Another tradition says that we couldn’t eat meat for our personal pleasure until we entered the Land of Canaan in the time of Joshua. According to one stream of Jewish thought, even then, eating meat is not ideal. Rav Kook famously held that vegetarianism was part of the Utopian Messianic era. This is not hippy drippy Hollywood. This is Judaism.

To their own detriment- they created another Hollywood bomb.
Is there a cure for stupid?

Going by box office statistics, Noah is doing very well.
