5 trivia entries

★★★★☆

Starring: Morgan Freeman, John Goodman, Steve Carell, Lauren Graham, Johnny Simmons

Trivia: The book Evan gets his instructions from (Ark Building For Dummies) is an actual book which has been published! Mainly as a joke.

Trivia: There are multiple scenes in the movie showing the ark being built, and standing on land waiting for the flood. All of these shots of the ark before the flood was a real, life-size ark, built for this movie.

Trivia: The scene where God appears in the backseat of Evan's car and they are both visible in the rear view mirror, is reminiscent of the movie poster for "Driving Miss Daisy", also starring Morgan Freeman, where Freeman and Jessica Tandy were both visible in the rear view mirror.

Jeff Swanson

Trivia: There are several biblical mentions in this movie if you look (The 40 Year Old Virgin Mary, Eve Adams, etc.).

Quotes

God: Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?

Questions

Question: How come not a single person saw that Evan managed to "change his clothes" instantly? There were people sat behind him looking straight at him. Wouldn't they see him in his suit one second, blink and then see him in the robes? They all laughed and thought he was crazy but surely they all saw him come in wearing the suit and it's not like you could miss someone getting changed.

Answer: God wanted to see what he wanted them to see, to believe in something you can't believe requires faith.
