Noah Baumbach

The Squid and the Whale A Critical Analysis Written and directed by Noah Baumbach, this film is set in Brooklyn, New York City, 1986. Some critics claim that it is almost autobiographical of Baumbach’s life and the painful and confusing experience he went through when his own parents were in the process of divorce. The most obvious central theme of the movie is divorce and the crisis it causes within the family as each member is attempting to rearrange themselves, both inside their heads and in the

The work of art that I chose is a still from director Noah Baumbach from the film “While We’re Young” starring actor Ben Stiller. My initial reaction to this was how much different this film looks from modern-day filmmaking. This film was only released not too long ago, in 2015, but it was shot on 35mm film. Most new release films are shot on a digital format. The main reason for this is because of how expensive it is to shoot a movie on traditional film. To put this into perspective, a 1,000’ roll

An Auteurist Critique of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Wes Anderson is a world-renowned filmmaker known for creating vividly colorful films that are consistent with his auteur signature. Though he has only directed 7 films (not including his upcoming film and two short films), he is a perfect example of how even a small body of work can demonstrate auteur theory. Anderson’s films have frequent themes, visual and methodological style and he even uses a lot of the same actors in most of

The Epic of Gilgamesh has been important to Christians as far back as its revelation in the mid-nineteenth century in the vestiges of the library at Nineveh, with its record of a general flood with critical parallels to the flood in the Book of Genesis. There have been various flood stories distinguished from antiquated sources scattered around the world. The stories that were found on cuneiform tablets, which involve a portion of the most punctual surviving written work, and have clear similitudes

the Flood, there were main characters. Noah, Gilgamesh, and Utnapishtim. In Genesis, (The Story of the Flood), Noah was told to build an Ark due to God being frustrated and upset. This madness lead to a flood. This same concept goes for The Epic of Gilgamesh. It was about a god that survived a flood and told Gilgamesh about it. Based on The Epic of Gilgamesh it talks about a god that survived a flood and told Gilgamesh about it. This story is also like Noah in the book of Genesis. God is frustrated

mind, I will move on to Noah, this afternoon’s Torah‘s portion that tells the story of a man who was faced with choices. Noah’s story is about a man who at G-d’s command, builds an ark and saves his family and two of each of the existing animals from a flood that G-d uses to destroy the existing

The movie Noah, released in 2014 has sparked much controversy throughout Christian groups and has made many consider the validity of the story it is portraying. The use of symbolism in the movie creates scepticism in many individuals. For me, there are multiple instances in the movie that both align and stray away from the Old testaments story of Noah.

However, they also have many differences, the main one are the heroes, details of the flood, and the rewards from god. Gilgamesh, who is part god part man, after his friend death, he went on a journey to look for an eternal life. Different from the story Noah and the Flood, Gilgamesh

God told Noah, “Make yourself an ark of oleander wood; make the ark with cabins, and smear it with bitumen inside and out. This is how you are to make it: is the length of the ark is to be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits and its height thirty cubits”(Smith and Goodspeed 5). After surviving the storm god said to Noah and his sons, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you shall
