Biblical References and other observations in Northfork - Lindsay Conrad

I wanted to poitn out a couple really great biblical allusions (i think) in this film. There are also some other interesting things or points in theology.

- Noah's Ark: They had the obvious with the house, but they also showed the craziness that Noah probably got when he was building the ark for the great flood. Though, this time everyone knew the plain would actually flood and they still thought this guy crazy to want to kepe his house and fmaily afloat.

- two by two: The "guardian angels" were sent out two by two, just as the disciples were charged to spread the news of Jesus. Only this time, they were spreading bad news and ending a stay in this town. Granted, back in the day, the news of Jesus wasn't exactly music to anyone's ears.

- Open wall to the chapel: This could go back to the time when the church was being persecuted and temples and churches were being destroyed. The church took on the theology that worship could happen anywhere, and we were also called to go out into the world to spread the good news. So, the open wall of the chapel could give that allusion to the Christian tradition.

- God's role: In the group of angel people, God was a player, but he never spoke. He wrote music and wrote in different languages and left it up for interpretation by the guy wiht the glasses. Some people have the idea that God started the world and then stepped away, so that could be one interpretation of that character, and another one is that God speaks to us through interesting means, which is why he was writing all those things and maybe pieces of the Bible or hints to read between the lines.

- "Just a child": Flower was broken when she found out that the child was the unknown angel. She couldn't accept him and take him from the earth because he was only a child. I feel as though the pharisees felt the same way about Jesus as he began his mission. He was crucified in his 30s, so he was just a boy for much of his ministry. How could be accept a baby coming in the humblest of forms to be a messenger and a savior of the world?
