\"noah-poster-us-a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems hard to believe, but this coming Sunday marks the second anniversary of the North American release of a little film called Noah<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written a lot of things about that film over the years, and one day I hope to collect some of my thoughts and observations in an eBook or something of that sort.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I have<\/i> drafted a line-by-line annotation of the film, and along the way I note what the film\u2019s sources are (both canonical and non-canonical), what sorts of changes were made to the film as it went through development, what sorts of controversies there were around the film after it was released, and so on.<\/p>\n

The annotation currently runs to 118 pages, and they are divided into 22 chapters, just like the 22 chapters on the DVD. (Hmmm, there are also 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Coincidence?) The full annotation isn\u2019t quite done yet, but I figured I\u2019d give you all a preview in PDF format, if you\u2019re interested. Here is Chapter 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Want to see more? Let me know in the comments. Cheers!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
