Seriously, biblical Christians need to get over it. The Bible is full of stories retold from MUCH OLDER traditions. Really? But while it’s true that Aronofsky’s Noah diverges from scripture, these critiques are ultimately an arrogant slight against beautiful Jewish tradition at work in the film. Worse, they imply that conservative biblical literalism somehow has a monopoly on Noah, a position which effectively ignores the billions of other non-literal religious people who also take the story seriously — especially Jews. If you think Yahwehs story began with the modern Bible, you are sadly mistaken.
