Emma Watson Age In Noah

Send Out The Doves: 'Noah' Lands On Solid Ground Critic Bob Mondello says Darren Aronofsky's take on the story of Noah and the flood mixes wild invention and digital magic to create a surprisingly credible biblical epic.

. Darren Aronofsky's film about the Old Testament shipbuilder has been sparking controversy — but there's no denying that the Great Flood, digitized, is a pretty great flood.

In the beginning there was ... nothing, say the first words you see on-screen, and then there's, well, everything: a swirling cosmos, Adam and Eve, a fall from grace, a fall of angels, teeming industrial cities spreading so much sin and darkness that the creator has second thoughts — which he communicates to 500-year-old family man Noah in a nightmare.

Noah sees a planet submerged and, inspired by that vision, tells his wife and three sons they have work to do. If only it were that simple.

The Old Testament story is short on the sort of detail required to flesh out two-plus hours, but the filmmakers have happily supplied it — everything from why the lions wouldn't just eat the gazelles to what a real ark might look like (no prow, because it's not going anywhere, it just has to float). Also, how much help a family of five would need to build a structure 300 cubits by 50 cubits by 30 cubits.

You may not remember the movie's six-limbed stone giants from Sunday school — a bunch of literally earthbound angels who can trace their cinematic lineage to those talking trees in

— but they're certainly helpful in ark-building, and in ark-protecting when a snarling king from Cain's side of the family of man shows up with an army.

There is a lot of inventing going on here, raising a flood of criticism in literalist circles that did not flow when, say, Danny Kaye played a musical-comedy Noah in

Take the Bible seriously, without winks or jokes, and you court arguments with traditionalists about whether you've gotten it right. Darren Aronofsky's tree-hugging, intimately intense move, I'd argue, gets things righter than it's reasonable to expect a big Hollywood blockbuster to. Oh, there are things I wish the director hadn't done — when a little girl asks Russell Crowe's Noah to sing her to sleep, all I could think was, Didn't she see

? And Anthony Hopkins' Methuselah does more scrounging for berries than is entirely seemly. But when the deluge comes, it lives up to Scripture: All the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens opened.

At which point, we and the family are sharing an ark with an unraveling Noah, barely post-traumatic in his stress, and seemingly channeling his biblical forebears Abraham and Job, and maybe a couple of the unhinged characters from previous Aronofsky movies. All of which makes the film Noah

Psychologically credible — his behavior is very much what you might expect of a man who has just condemned millions of screaming souls to watery graves. And it makes the film uedictably suspenseful, which is dramatically the most welcome thing you could ask of a biblical epic.Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates from Your Next Shoes.

“It’s a really epic, rich, I think, elaborate telling of this story, ” the Jewish actress said in an interview on Good Morning America. “It’s like nothing Darren has done before.”

“What you’ll find is that the controversy that was generated [was] by people who were speculating [and] hadn’t seen the film yet, for the most part, ” argued Connelly.

“We’re now getting feedback from religious leaders who have seen the film and are really embracing it and supporting it. I agree with you — while it is very creative and very bold and very complex, really, it’s true to the spirit of the story in the Bible.”

“None of the women are really spoken about in the biblical story. There wouldn’t have been any women in it. He had to adapt it for the screen, ” Emma said in an interview about Darren Aronofsky’s Biblical film Noah.

“Darren does these very dark, very intense, very gritty, very real films. And then Noah is kind of –you see this guy with the long beard and there are the animals…You can’t really picture it, ” the actress told the Associated Press.

After drinking a mug of dirty water on the set of the movie, she fell ill. Due to the director’s environmental concerns, Darren Aronofsky did not allow bottled water on the set.

“Because of the storm, Douglas [Booth] and I ended up shooting most of our scenes between 4 am and 7 am – and at that time I never function well, ” Watson told Wonderland magazine.

“Because the film has a pro-environment message, Darren didn’t want anyone drinking from plastic water bottles on set either. So that made things slightly harder.”

“Everything we used had to be recycled or recyclable. Having no water bottles on set at five in the morning, when you’re exhausted and delirious, wasn’t ideal. I was so tired one morning I picked up a mug from my trailer and drank some stagnant water that had been there for the duration – so three months. I was so ill.”

“I came in the next day and was like: ‘Darren, I don’t think I can do this, I’m really sick, '” she said.
