mutinyetc Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I saw this movie last night and was amazed by it. From the very beginning it was great. That opening music with the waves really pierced into me. It was like the spooky, build-you-up theme music from the new spiderman movies. I also thought the script was intelligent. I really got into it. It wasn't a silent but in a silent fashion, much like Modern Times. It was a great print because it was preserved, instead of necessarily being restored by present people some 70 years later. My only concern is were there any scenes originally in color such as the rainbow? Regardless a great print! Thank you TCM for showing it. What do you think of this?

nickdimeo Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I was waiting all month to see this impressive movie. I can now say that I have seen all the movies shown in the Silent Sunday Night montage. The dialogue scenes weren't too awkward, they chose the right places to insert them. The ending of this movie is better than any expensive computer generated effects of today's Hollywood movies. Gotta love that Guinn Williams!

leobertucelli Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 All those terrible injuries really? Well, I trust he was duly sanctioned if not imprisoned along with the rest who orchestrated the effects> I just tuned in for a few minutes then went to watch something else. Y'see I love rain and if I can't hear it...then why watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenwal34 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Im not adding fuel to the fire,but clarrifying a point.Go to TCM homepage and click on NOAHS ARK.It will state that there was one "possible" fatality,and many injuries. Depending on your sources,there is some doubt as to the magnitude of the injuries as reported at press time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leobertucelli Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I was merely replying to what was posted, concerning all those tragedies connected with that flick, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicsfan1119 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Thanks for the clarification, Kenwal. In going back to the original post in this tread, "Noah's Ark" was an excellent movie regardless of what "might" have happened during the filming that the press frequently seems notorious for getting wrong. And, I will also Thank TCM for showing it. I throughly enjoyed watching it. ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
