Noah (less review, more thoughts)

First, I want to say I really enjoyed this movie. I've been thinking alot about all religions this year and watching this movie made me appreciate all of them more. The way the production brought Noah to life made him interesting to all people. The Watchers, also known as fallen angels, were one of my favorite aspect of this movie. Seeing them fall, covered by molted rock, and beaten down by man was a moving image.
 
This movie made me think about the path that humans have gone since the beginning. Eating meat, farming, building cities, developing technology and striving to improving on those ideas every year may have ruined the earth. Though this is true, we are like all animals that want to survive. Survival is at our core.
 
Everyone has their own beliefs, but it interests me how everyone believes in some kind of higher power that gives this world meaning and reason. Whether it's science, Jesus, Budda, Muhammed,  etc. This thing or idea created the world and we have to maintain it for survival in this world. We have to keep order. I love that about people. We have the ability to create truths from nothing. We can find proof and organize facts and ideas to create truths. What's more amazing is that we then have the ability to abandon these truths. That's what amazed me most about Noah. He abandoned his truth for the plan the Creator wanted him to fulfil. That makes the human mind amazing.
 
SIDENOTE: Favorite part of the movie.... Emma Watson.
Who doesn't love Emma Watson ?
