[QUOTE="Grumpy RPG Reviews, post: 6282978, member: 6678305"] I wonder what it says about me that I can believe in eternal damnation, but I can no longer believe in redemption or salvation. The movie was a lovely spectacle, but that is all it was - just a lovely spectacle. Everyone involved gave solid performances, especially the women. [spoiler]That Noah had Rust Cohle's world view made sense but fails in the movie because there is no way to follow that line in thinking to its logical conclusion without having Noah fail in his faith and fail in his mission, so its inclusion in the movie is problematic structurally and philosophically. In the context of the movie and the story the director was attempting to tell, Noah fails in terms of his final decision about his grand children. I wonder if the director realizes that. Spiritually the only part which bothered me is the Watchers finding redemption - that soured much of the movie for me. [/spoiler] I suspect many people will make gifs comparing Noah to Jor-El and Inspector Whatzisface from Le Mis. While not directly funny, the film can easily be hacked to become funny. [/QUOTE]
