Noah/Best scene/Darren Aronofsky/Russell Crowe

As a young boy, Noah witnesses his father, Lamech, killed by a young Tubal-cain. Years later, an adult Noah lives with his wife Naameh and their sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. After seeing a flower grow instantly from the ground and being haunted by dreams of a great flood, Noah takes them to visit his grandfather Methuselah.
They encounter a group of people recently killed and take in and adopt the lone survivor, a girl named Ila. Ila is treated for an abdominal wound and will survive, but Naameh determines that she will be unable to have children. Noah and his family are chased by the murderers and seek refuge with the fallen angels known as the "Watchers", in whose territory Methuselah lives. The Watchers are confined on Earth as stone golems for helping humans banished from the Garden of Eden. Methuselah gives Noah a seed from Eden and tells Noah that he was chosen for a reason. Returning to his tent that night, Noah plants the seed in the ground. The Watchers arrive the next morning and debate whether they should help Noah until they see water spout from the spot where Noah planted the seed. After a forest grows instantly, the Watchers agree to help Noah and his family build an ark.
After birds fly to the ark, Tubal-cain arrives with his followers and confronts Noah. Noah defies Tubal-cain and remarks that there is no escape for the line of Cain. Tubal-cain retreats and decides to build weapons to defeat the Watchers and take the ark. As the ark nears completion, animals of various species enter the ark and are sedated with incense.
With Ila having become enamored of Shem, Noah goes to a nearby settlement to find wives for Ham and Japheth but, seeing the settlers selling their daughters for food, he abandons his effort and begins believing that the Creator wants all of humanity dead. He tells his family that he will not seek wives for his younger sons. After the flood, they will be the last humans and there will be no new human generations.
Devastated that he will be alone his entire life, Ham runs into the forest. Naameh begs Noah to reconsider but, when he will not, she goes to Methuselah for help. Ila encounters Methuselah who cures her infertility. Ham, searching for a wife on his own, befriends the refugee Na'el.
After it starts raining, Tubal-cain becomes angry that he was not chosen to be saved and incites his followers to make a run for the ark. Noah finds Ham in the forest and forces Ham to save himself, but leaves Na'el to die when she is caught in an animal trap. Noah's family enter the ark except for Methuselah, who remains in the forest and is swept away by the rushing waters. The Watchers fight off Tubal-cain and his mob of followers, sacrificing themselves and ascending to heaven, their reward for protecting Noah. As the flood drowns the remaining humans, an injured Tubal-cain climbs onto the ark and solicits Ham, playing on anger toward Noah for allowing Na'el to die.
Ila discovers she is pregnant as the rains stop and begs the Creator to let the child live. Noah interprets the ending of the rain to mean he must ensure the extinction of humans and, against his wife's protests, resolves that, if the child is a girl, he will kill her. Months pass, and Ila and Shem build a raft to escape Noah's resolve, but Noah discovers and burns it. Ila then starts feeling labor pains and gives birth to twin girls. After Ham calls Noah telling him the beasts are awake and eating each other, Tubal-cain emerges and attempts to hit Noah. Noah and Tubal-cain engage in combat. Shem promises Ila that Noah will not harm their daughters and goes to stop him. He attacks Noah as Tubal-cain falls to the ground only to be knocked out. Tubal-cain eventually forces Noah to the edge of the raft, but Ham kills him with a dagger before he can shove Noah in the ocean. Noah picks himself up and finds Ila and the babies, intending to kill the children, but spares them upon looking at his granddaughters and only feeling love.
Upon exiting the ark on the new land, a shameful Noah goes into isolation in a nearby cave, making wine in which to drown his sorrows. Ham expresses disappointment for his father's current state of unseemly drunkenness and nakedness before leaving his kin to live alone. Having reconciled at the behest of Ila, Noah blesses the family as the beginning of a new human race and all witness waves of immense celestial rainbows.

NOAH LOOKED AROUND AFTER HE SAW BLOOD IN THE GROUND & THOUGHT:
*THIS...IS...HELL*

[adamc_vp]

Two scenes that stuck with me, the screaming people clinging to the last bit of land and this one, seeing human beings tearing an animal apart like a hoarde of zombies just disturbs me

[elyastoohey]

This is one of the most powerful scenes in cinema. In fact Noah is a great movie in itself. It just suffered as its connection to the bible/Torah meant in the modern age it would be snubbed by many.

But it’s core message is pretty simple. The violence we exhibit upon one another and to the world that we are meant to take care of.

We are the most gifted of species, but we use it to exploit the world and nature. Where that leads, is the camp Noah walks into. The desperation, dog eat dog.

[FilmSureelist]

This scene reminds me a lot of Mother! The innocent goat being ripped to shreds by a mob was like the baby in mother being eaten by many people because they were desperate for food. Darren aronofsky really shows the evil side of humans in his films.

[RobitGalaxy]

I swear I was scared of this scene for 8 years.

[Sanzumori]

"The evil of mankind is greater than I expected in my creation, the wickedness in them is increasing. I will put the flood among them and I'm sorry that I will do this decision."
-God

[serranopepperproductions]

Yahweh saw how great the wickedness of man on the earth that evil was always the only thought on his heart. Yahweh regretted having created man on the earth and his heart grieved. He said, "I will destroy man whom I created and blot him from the face of the earth, as well as the beasts, creeping creatures and birds, for I am sorry I made them."
Genesis 6: 5-7

The part where the lamb is being torn apart is very symbolic as well, considering what man would to to the Son of the Lord because of the wickedness born of the need for power, backed by violence that lies in the human heart. God put on flesh, knowing what would happen so that we can defeat eternal death in his name and avoid another outcome like in the days of Noah.

[wendigosatin]

You all terrified for a calf. I'm more worried about the girls being traded

[marvelnarniaarda]

At that time humanity fell under the influence of Satan / Demiurge. The Father of all Evils hopes to return to dominate all of the universes in that way.

[soniarosero]

On the bright side, all those bad guys die by drowning. So they didn't go unpunished.

[KINGKAIJU_]

How fucking strong was that guy that threw that calf?

[nathanklapsas]

This is the most fucked up scene in the movie. I’m comparing it to the 9 minute chaos sequence in Mother!, different movies but both displayed a claustrophobic hell on earth.

[VLFBERHTwolf]

James Cameron said that part the inspiration of Ash People in the next Avatar movies is the Children of Cain in this movie. Seeing this scene again, make me fear of how brutal the Ash People will be.

[Crusader-Ramos]

I’ve been thinking of an alternate path for what happens after this part. Noah indeed sees human evil getting worse in this scene, but instead of going back to the Ark empty-handed, he persisted in finding two girls for his other two boys, despite the fact that evil will come back one way or another.

[edwardvictormartin]

This is what I've lately thought of and meditated on whenever I'm struggling and otherwise people talk about how the struggle in life is important and necessary when nope no it isn't, not like that to be desperate and to fight like that. That's not the christian way besides civilized way, to be desperate like that starving like that have scarce resources and difficult access and to have to fight to survive like that as opposed to queue up worse case scenario when you're in desperate circumstances and no fighting no arguing no desperation no anguish or anxiety being necessary.

[AaronDanielsen]

This scene really describes hell best way possible in my opinion this was hell before hell existed but again main focus here is that this scene really describes hell just look at the greedy people offering kids for food killing the living i really think God did what was best for the current mankind back then starting all over again i wish nothing but good in this world imagine you being in this place full of evil people this scene really describes hell again best scene in the movie for sure good telling on what hell is like ✝️❤️✨

[annievelazquez]

Noah’s reaction: nah bro this is so hell this is 💀

[Brandon-wo]

It's like I'm watching the news....

[jesussuarez]

If it wasn't for the fact that this movie was tied to the Old Testament, this would have been regarded one of the best movies of all time

[joshuarattler]

This is a piece of what Real HELL is about. The Movie: Noah may have gotten a little overboard in this scene, but however it show on what The Bible was saying about how the great wickedness of the Human Race were doing, before Noah and his small group of people (his Family) were in the ARK during the Great flood that swallow the world.
