The new film Noah has some critics asking about the old Testament guy's diet.
The movie has people wondering about vegetarians, animal rights, and global warming.
Apparently the movie has posited that Noah was an environmentalist, vegan, and concerned about the weather and global warming. That last point is a stretch and not even the literalistic will believe it. However, the argument for vegan or vegetarianism is there in the text.
Aronofsky has gotten alot of flack for politicizing his movie. Some critics have said that the movie is more of a left wing statement, then a movie based on the bible.
The opening is something that particularly annoys religious film goers. Aronofsky has decided to remove the critical first line of Genesis and transform the statement into one that reads very atheistic.
So was Noah a vegetarian? Who knows. Vegetarianism is a more spiritually advanced state of living, so possibly.
