Wow, what an original take on the often “tremendum” approach
of angelic forces. The supernatural beings were very child-like manifestations
of angels and very creative.
Themes such as foundation = stability was pivotal. Without
the foundation, many of the moving houses represented the fact that the
stability is lacking
Additional themes of prophets and seers were evident in the
instances where one of the angels would never speak he would only listen to
music and inscribe the scriptures was a beautiful way to relay a theme of
prophetic seers.
The use of portals was also very relevant to the film as
when a man jumped across a gap in a house, hit his head and was instantly viewing
the “other side”. Another portal was when the same man was in an outhouse and
was contemplating moving his deceased wife to a different location due to the
coming flood. In this outhouse the man embraces the stench of poop and has
revelation and decides to move his wife.
Lastly, the “Noah” character was a symbol of
self-preservation and not like the actual Noah who was destined to preserve all
life. The director used humor to poke fun at many themes of religion such as
the “Noah” character having two of everything even wives.
Overall, the film was inspiring and humorous and provided a
platform to dissect religious themes and virtue.
