Comments on: First Look At Russell Crowe In Darren Aronofsky’s ‘Noah’; Will The Film Feature The Giant Og? https://staging2.theplaylist.net/first-look-at-russell-crowe-in-darren-aronofskys-noah-will-the-film-feature-the-giant-og-20120810/ Fri, 13 May 2016 11:48:34 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.5 By: Bill https://staging2.theplaylist.net/first-look-at-russell-crowe-in-darren-aronofskys-noah-will-the-film-feature-the-giant-og-20120810/#comment-71731 Fri, 13 May 2016 11:48:34 +0000 http://www.indiewire.com/2012/more/uncategorized/first-look-at-russell-crowe-in-darren-aronofskys-noah-will-the-film-feature-the-giant-og-107342/#comment-71731 I wonder how the christians are gonna like the giant. Seeing how it's in the bible but not many know that because they don't read the bible despite claiming to know it from cover to cover. I told one believer once that the bible not only condones slavery but has instructions on how to be a good slave. I was called a blasphemer and devil for spreading lies. Aronofsky, watch your back.

Well, not that it's a new thing to tell…

Just wondering as it is standard operating procedure to exclude Black folk from the past or the future. But then maybe the Og and his subjects are the representations of the dark folks before the flood.
And yes, i did go there…But only with love for Hollywood.
…Nollywood rising

Genesis 6:4 says "There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men of old, men of renown." Some say that the sons of God referenced here were the fallen angels descended to earth after the rebellion, and that the giants were the product of fallen angels mixing with humans.

There simply is not a lot to go on just from the scriptures, so as long as the message and themes are there… a little creative license would be acceptable. The casting of Crowe is also key, many Christians (such as myself) have a positive view of him due to his more "traditional" types of films – Gladiator, Cinderella Man, etc.

And even that's a stretch

People need to call BS on this whitewashed movie.

Their bullshit every animal in the world story now has giants too – painting it as it really is — a fantast
