A swift survey of Noah reviews clearly shows that theaudience's sensitivity was challenged in several regards; Noah wasportrayed as a "religious extremist" and "borderlinepsychopath", the Creator proved to be a "distant--unaware oruncaring--overseer", while Aronofsky himself was said to have a"sinister purpose of leading people to believe that Christianity andJudaism are something they are not." On closer examination, however, theabove summarized pleas are not entirely relevant for two basic reasons.First, the movie consists of ideas that have been in use since antiquity,rearranged and composed into a new-old story and all the arguments directedagainst Noah could be very well addressed to the Bible, Dead Sea Scrolls orRabbinic midrashim. Second, the movie presents more often than not a"censored" version of the stories furnished by the classicalliterature itself and the classical variants are far more disturbing. Themain purposes of the present paper are (1) to reconstruct several of such"censored" threads from Noah that play with the motive of love; (2)to juxtapose them with their equivalents transmitted in the classicalsources; (3) to show that had Aronofsky and Handel followed the ancient textsmore strictly, they would have produced a far more controversial andunsettling picture; (4) to discuss the possible sources of the controversiesevoked by the movie.

The position of Noah (2014) among the films of Darren Aronofsky isunique for at least two reasons. First, while Pi (1997) and The Fountain(2006, co-written with Ari Handel) can be construed as spiritual or evenreligious, Noah is his first explicitly biblical movie. Counterintuitivelyhowever and against the tradition of the genre, (1) most of the outdoorfilming took place in the dark and bleak landscapes of Iceland rather than inthe sun-scorched deserts of Tunisia or Colorado, while the cast'scostumes retained a design that would fit a post-apocalyptic fiction ratherthan a Hollywood biblical epic. In addition to this, Aronofsky himselflabelled it as "the least biblical biblical film ever made" (2)thus acknowledging its liminal status. In result, the audience had all therights to feel confused; although Noah has told the Genesis flood story, theway it did so was far from typical cinematographic portrayal of theScriptural accounts.

This latter observation is especially important here, because itleads to the conclusion that the above summarized discussion is not entirelyrelevant for at least two basic reasons. First, Aronofsky and Handel did notmake their movie in a cultural void but just like other filmmakers have beeninfluenced by various modern reiterations of the story of Noah and biblicalmovies in general. (18) Moreover, in numerous interviews the authors stressedthat during the production of Noah they devoted much time to studying theclassical sources and consulting religious scholars. In consequence, theycame up with a movie comprised mostly of ideas and myths that existed inantiquity or the medieval era. (19) This fact, however, by no meansdiminishes the value of the writers' genuine effort but suggests thatthe film follows similar principles as do the ancient or medieval textsretelling the biblical stories. What is more, it clearly shows that thecritique directed against Noah could be very well extended to the Bible, DeadSea Scrolls or Rabbinic midrashim, since these are the ultimate sources ofAronofsky and Handel's ideas.

The text is definitely more detailed to that of the Bible andexplicitly portrays bney ha-'elohim as the angels led by Semjazamotivated by the paternal instinct. The angels immediately recognize thetransgressive nature of the act and although the text does not specify whatis precisely the nature of their sin, the later passages of the compositionwitness to various traditions in justifying the angels' punishment:defilement with the earthly women, (34) leaving the heavenly abode andwreaking destruction (35) or teaching unrighteousness and workinggodlessness.(36) The "love-story" of the Watchers has also a uniquepromethean-like twist in 1 Enoch 7:1-2 where the angels instruct the women on"charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots." However,unlike Prometheus whose fire-giving act bears the marks of altruism, theangels' decision to reveal the secret arts seems to be a kind of abarter trade in exchange for progeny rather than the expression of concernand care.
