“Noah” is a 2014 bizarre movie full of action and computer generated matrix so add some icing on the cake. The movie encompasses an entertaining story of Noah being the main pillar of support for the common man in the waterborne epic. As opposed but in close relation to the biblical version of the story, Noah appears to be the main action hero. The paper gives a response using the Jewish Mysticism to prove that the movie is a mystical take on the biblical story. The Jewish mysticism primarily gives out the different forms of mysticism that existed in the era of the Jews (Goodenough, 2014). Kabbalah, which is well known, emerged in the 12th century. Aronofsky has brought together many ideas and theories for a successful accomplishment of the movie. He has also stirred in some mythologies of Kabbalah and the pre-Christian paganism.
The film seems to have the main aim of bringing out the intensity of God’s anger to the sinful race, but it addresses it differently from other films. Noah associates the Lord’s anger to the merciless despoiling of the Land and the eradication of animals all over the earth by the greedy human population. Noah and his family are vegetarians in the movie. As the narration suggests, the movie achieves depicting the concept of meditative Kabbalah. It is a way of seeking to achieve a mystical union with God (Epstein, 2014). Though the main character is involved in a lot of action, he and his family strongly understand that they need divine connection with the Almighty God. He, therefore, pulls out from the other group who consumed meat so as to follow God's orders strictly. In summary, the movie is a magnificent take on the biblical story of Noah and the ark. Also, it cognitively responds to the Jewish Mysticism theories of Gnosticism and Kabbalah.
