Reading Aronofsky's explanation... yeah it's a great movie if you want to depict what humanity is doing to the earth. (except for the fact that the earth is depicted not only as the house and the property, but specifically as a person in the film, which is deeply problematic).
But it's fucking awful, offensive, stupid, vulgar, vapid, and dumb when you include God in that depiction and get it completely wrong (using source-material that explains God exactly --- Aronofsky isn't inventing his own God here, which would be OK, he is taking God right out of the bible and completely missing the mark, purposefully missing the mark). I'm not worried about being offended, but at least TRY to be a little accurate.
I mean, comparing Jesus and Abel instead of Adam? Having God issue zero directives or instructions to the people besides to leave one single room? The movie is so deeply problematic intellectually that it makes no sense whatsoever, and it wasn't enjoyable aesthetically except for the last scene, which, as I have said, was beautiful only in that it was so grotesque.
I like the political statement, but involving all the rest of it renders that statement pretty much useless and makes your movie completely incoherent.
