The Secret Gnostic Key to Aronofsky's "Noah" that Everyone Missed
The Secret Gnostic Key to Aronofsky's "Noah" that Everyone Missed - Aleteia: "The world of Aronofsky’s Noah is a thoroughly Gnostic one: a graded universe of “higher” and “lower.” The “spiritual” is good, and way, way, way “up there” where the ineffable, unspeaking god dwells, and the “material” is bad, and way, way down here where our spirits are encased in material flesh. This is not only true of the fallen sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, but of fallen angels, who are explicitly depicted as being spirits trapped inside a material “body” of cooled molten lava."
