Major Discrepancies in the Film:

  • Noah is depicted as unstable and willing to harm his family
  • Tubal-Cain is incorrectly portrayed as an antagonist

  • Environmental themes overshadow the spiritual message

Biblical Truth About Noah:

  • Described as a "just man" who "walked with God" (Genesis 6:9)
  • Called a "preacher of righteousness" (2 Peter 2:5)
  • Demonstrated strong faith and godly fear (Hebrews 11:7)
  • Worked to save others, not harm them

How to Prepare Before Viewing:

  1. Read the biblical account first:

    • Genesis 6-10
    • Ezekiel 14:14, 20
    • Matthew 24:37-38
    • Hebrews 11:7
    • 1 Peter 3:20
    • 2 Peter 2:5
  2. Review the biblical narrative again after watching to maintain accurate perspective

Remember: Hollywood prioritizes entertainment and profit over biblical accuracy. Understanding the true biblical account helps viewers distinguish fact from fiction while watching the film.
