Noah, the movie, banned in Indonesia

I don't know if the movie is good or not, but it has been banned in Indonesia as well as Bahrain, UAE and Qatar.

'Noah' banned in Indonesia

Updated: 14:23, Tuesday March 25, 2014


Australian actor Russell Crowe's portrayal of religious figure Noah won't be seen in Indonesian cinemas, with the film rejected by the censors.

The big-budget Hollywood epic, which opens in Australia on Thursday, has been blocked by censors in Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates because it could offend Muslim viewers by depicting a prophet.
Indonesia followed on Monday with a unanimous decision by the Indonesian Censorship Board.
Board member Zainut Tauhid Sa'adi told news website detik that anyone who shows the film would be punished.
He said the board was responding to the values of a society 'which highly respects religion and the value of unity'.
'We're not following or tailing other countries,' he said.
Catherine Keng, corporate secretary of Indonesia's largest cinema chain Cinema 21, said it would comply.
The move disappointed some Indonesian film critics.
Mumu Aloha, managing editor of detik's entertainment website detikHot, branded the censorship board's reasoning as 'stupid'.
'This great nation is being protected' by a bunch of dwarf people sitting in an institution which has the tendency to censor anything,' he wrote to his Facebook followers.
'Pity us all!'
Crowe has said the reaction of some countries was expected.
Early US reviews of Noah, made by acclaimed filmmaker Darren Aronofsky with a $130 million budget, have been mixed.
The story of Noah's ark is told in the Bible and the Koran.
In Islam, depictions of prophets are taboo to avoid worship of a person rather than God.

One has to question if that mooselimb Obanana had anything to do with this.

Crowe is not only a Hell-bound Australazyan New Zealander but also has the pope in his fan club.

I can't blame the mooslums for not wanting to see him.

Re: Noah, the movie, banned in Indonesia

What bothers me is that this Russell Crowe fellow was not actually in the Bible(KJV1611) at all. He may be playing Noah but if he says anything not actually said by Noah we will all know that this is a hateful atheist attack to promote hatred.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

People who are too lazy to read the Bible and watch a movie instead will all burn in Hell anyway.

And, as all Christians know, Revelation 22:18-19 describes in great detail how the people behind this movie will be punished by God.

Revelation 22:18-19
King James Version (KJV)

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

This will make any True Christian™ puke - "artistic license", more like "artistic" blasphemy.

Atheist ‘Noah’ director brags film is least biblical Bible movie ever
By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times

Note to Christians and those who believe the Bible: The producer of the movie “Noah,” a self-professed atheist, says he is proud of the fact that he’s taken a story inspired by God’s word and turned it into something so secular.

Director Darren Aronofsky called his movie “the least biblical biblical film ever made,” The Telegraph reported. He also claimed his leading character, Noah, was the “first environmentalist,” something that suggests the movie storyline doesn’t exactly follow the Bible’s.

And something else the suggests a serious divergence from the biblical account: Not once during the movie is the name “God” spoken, an early reviewer found, The Telegraph reported.

Christian groups have raised such an outcry that Paramount, the studio that’s put out the film, has issued an explanatory statement.

It reads, in part: The film is “inspired by the story of Noah” but at the same time, “artistic license has been taken.” The statement also gives this helpful advice: “The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis.”

Mr. Aronofsky, meanwhile, describes his version of the biblical story as a “dark parable about sin, justice and mercy,” that leads Noah to serve as judge and jury of who gets on the boat — and who dies, The Telegraph said.

Among the complaints is that the director paints Noah as more a man of the environment than a true follower of God.

“The insertion of the extremist environmental agenda is a problem,” said Jerry Johnson, the president of the National Religious Broadcasters group, in The Telegraph.

Where are the Dinosaurs?
It's obvious that these creatures were around in Noahs day and yet they do not appear to be in this film.
Are these Joo film makers afraid to tell the truth about Creation?

Re: Noah, the movie, banned in Indonesia

Probably a good thing that it is banned. It co-stars Emma Watson! The Godless whoring witch from the hairy potty franchise. I can't wait until Jesus drop kicks her into the fiery pits of Hell.

Galatians 5:19 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness"

Galatians 5:20 "Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,"

Galatians 5:21 " Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

As for Russell crowe like many of you pointed out he is a stinky New Zealander, and I watched the trailer. No dinosaurs. none. not 1 to be found.

Wow, praise be to HIM.

Thank you brother for those verses.
