[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 669192, member: 39190"] LOL, I'd probably side with your grandfather on the side of caution. I enjoyed the film somewhat though it's not really very stimulating which is what I want from a dark/heavy film. My problem with the movie is that it is not clear (is Aronofsky ever though?!) in its intentions and I fear people not well versed in scripture would think that it is based on the bible. My hope is that it might make people curious as to what the bibe actually says and I'm not talking about Genesis in isolation; I think it is critical to know the bible in it's entirety. There are just sooo many elements to the movie- and most of them very subtle- that just totally fly against the message contained in scripture. Actually, anyone who has read Anton Lavey's satanic bible will find a lot more similarities; God portrayed as 1) a jealous god and 2) a man with a stick walking behind people looking to beat them when they err and 3) not able to fully let his will be known/executed (note the lower case), the 'watchers'' sympathy with man, man as god in his own right etc etc. [/QUOTE]
