One other point I should mention is that director Ridley Scott handles the parting of the Red Sea differently than we’ve come to expect. Since none of us has directly heard God speak, who is to say that He couldn’t come to us in the form of a boy? Secondly, the God-as-a-kid concept actually works on its own terms.Everyone loves the idea of God booming His voice across the skies, but yet we are told so often to withdraw into silence to hear the voice of God most directly, and Jesus famously spoke about how the ideal state of mind is to be like a child. In the actual film, Bale’s Moses starts with fears about whether he’s really being inspired by God to lead his Jewish people out of Egyptian slavery and into the Promised Land of Israel, but he is undeniably dependent on sincere prayer conversations with God to figure out each major decision on their 40-year journey to freedom. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, but I’m happy to report that that’s far from the case. And third, God in this movie isn’t depicted as a booming voice, but as an 11 year old boy who’s petulant in what he wants. Second, director Ridley Scott admitted he’s strongly agnostic. First, star Christian Bale said he believes Noah was schizophrenic. Now comes “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” and it’s another big-budget epic from a major studio – this time Fox – and it’s been stirring up controversy on a couple fronts. But because it took some liberties with the story of Noah (including having a bunch of bizarre rock people come to life and help him build the Ark), many Christians attacked it and it’s generally believed it could have made double its gross if it hadn’t scared off so many believers. Then there was “Noah,” a huge-budgeted epic from Paramount that made just barely more than $100 million here in the US but did better around the world. There were several smash hits Christians embraced in the spring, such as “God’s Not Dead” (cost $2 million, made $60 million), “Heaven is For Real” (cost $12 million, made $90 million), and “Son of God” (another $60 million winner off a $22 million budget) all were embraced by Christians and shocked Hollywood by scoring well at the box office. This has been quite a year for God at the movies.
