Re:我感到極度哀慟!
Like many other things in life, the discussion and people's evaluation of the movie consist of multiple aspects: its theme, its contents, its main message, its storyline, its production, its music, its packaging, its advertising, its distribution, its pricing, its costs, its financial management, etc. People of different theological and professional background and interests place different weights on and evalute these factors differently.
Personally, I am a Young-Earth Creationist who accepts the literal interpretation of the beginning chapters of Genesis, and hence the historicity of Noah's Ark and the globalness of the Flood. It is true that the Bible does not say that the Ark was preserverd. However, based on the long list of sighting reports of the Ark recorded since 275 B.C., I personally believe that there is a very high likelihood that the Ark is still preserved in some recognizable forms, in the area of the Ararat mountains.
Based on the above theological background and my personal assessment of the available circumstantial evidence, personally I am in general agreement with the theme, the contents, the main message and the storyline of the movie. Moreover, I think that the theme songs of the movie are good, their lyrics are meaningful, and I enjoy listening to them very much.
On the other hand, like many other posters in this forum, I do have some misgivings about some of the expressions they use to promote the movie. In particular, I don't think that 發現方舟
is appropriate. It is true that, as they've pointed out ((http://www.media.org.hk/Arkmovie/qanda.doc), the term 發現 is used quitely loosely in the public media, and as such I don't think ME is deceiving the public. However, in the light of the evidence they've presented, it does appear that the expression is a mild overstatement and exaggeration. It would have been much better if they had just called it an expedition to discover the Ark.陳兄
請保持冷靜!
其實大家只是對同一件事有不同的看法，你可以放鬆心情去慢慢消化的。
我感到極度哀慟!
為何可以一面說:"它是可憎惡的!除掉它!"
同時, 又說:"你多美啊!"
我完全不明白!我感到極度哀慟!
「偶然遇上的驚喜」本週再攀升至中文歌曲龍虎榜第 9 位
「偶然遇上的驚喜」本週再攀升至中文歌曲龍虎榜第 9 位，願上帝繼續使用出色的基督教音樂感動更多人的生命！<挪亞方舟驚世啟示>香港人的驕傲
這是新一期電影雙週刊的影評...連本地電影界權威雜誌都大讚特讚,見證神的確大大使用這電影不論在未信者及大眾媒介上!請繼續為這以高質素及訊息主導的福音電影作大眾佈道方式禱告!AMEN!!!
It is hard not to be suspicious
As 飲者 pointed out about whether the Days of Noah is the first Chinese made documentary and the best selling documentary or not has shown that they are not doing things in a very trustworthy or professional way. Regarding whether they have discovered the Ark is also another big problem.
If they can do simple things like these in this way, how can we trust with their finance. If they can claim statements like these, how can we trust their financial report.
They had good sales for most of their products in the past, but they continue to yell for donation and to claim to have deficit, if the income is so good and they still have deficit, then there should be some problem with the expense or account management. Very interesting indeed!
I heard that for any project over 1 million, the organization must file a report with the government, if that is so, they should have reports for all their past projects and they should be able to provide them to the public.
I think that is the issue, don't be diverted to other things but keep at this until there is an answer from Media. Don't overlook the main issue because the songs are good!
Then ME should clear its debts
If there are so many good news coming from outside, I assume that their sales of CD is good, in addition to the copyright charges from Karaoke, radio stations, and other means.
This is the moment where Christians should open their eyes and see what and how ME will use its money, and see if they will draft another donation letter within these two months. If they dare to ask for more donations within two months because of new projects, salary, and clearing old debts, I demand ME to open their financial status immediately.
We are glad to see some Christians materials entered the mainstream market. However, we should also try to take every step in cautious way. Every people will keep an eye on ME, and their products, and also their promotion items. Hope that ME will not do something stupid as before.......
I read the book they produced as the scripts of the movie......I also gave it to my friends, and their feedback is :
"Andrew Yuen's Adventures"
回應Hin的rejoice and worry
以下是Hin問的三個問題和我的回應。We rejoice and worry
We rejoice when Christain songs can be in the top hit songs but we also worry that three basic issues have not be answered at all:
1. Is the Noah's Ark the first Chinese made documentary movie?
2. Is the Noah's Ark's ticket sales broke the record of Hong Kong made documentary movie?
3. Did Media discover the Ark?
If all the above are not true, I think we should still face them and don't just focus on the good news.
If someone said that indeed I have sinned but I have done a lot of good works recently, save a few lives and contributed a lot to the society, does that make me a saint? or does that justify my sins? or I don't have to deal with my sins anymore?
This is not pouring cold water but just pointing out the facts too just as the songs are in the top hit list.
回銀狐：紅雪
白雪帶有顏色，猜想是因為含有雜質。至於這種自然現象在什麼條件下會形成，在下未有深入研究。
講開又講，若然有觀眾不慎把電腦效果當作實景，會不會重演香港五十年代流行一時的「珍貴照片」，由誠心信徒搭飛機時攝影的「雲中神明」真跡?
To : Little Price
咁你知道那裡有關心研這隻挪亞方舟連MV買嗎?
會不會有「假使我漂亮」、「你有心」等等精選?
A，最緊要有埋「放生」，掂!
over 4million box office!
the updated box office is now over 4,300,000! hallelujah!!! it's the talk of the town and the effect is so great...i saw the interview of Jade kwan for the song in my 3G mobile phone "entertainment news" for downloading! also, the mv shown in ROADSHOW is cool! how wonderful it is to have such amazing gospel songs can be released in so many channels...it's especially powerful for the non-believers...of course, karaoke is another effective way to spread the message!! that's unbelieverable...maybe we're just too "small faith"...anyway, MEDIA keep going and pray for you all!!!挪亞方舟 MV
這裡有前半部MV，後半部最後那一part有紅雪(我今天在Road Show見的)想聽埋另外一半，便不知道關心研那一張CD有得看。
儲定錢la Fans 們，那裡有特價請通知晚生!唔該!
基教怪現象--兼評方舟
相信大家都聽過牧師在講壇上大力鞭撻「主流文化」(如電影、電視節目和流行曲)，他們常力斥主流文化之「俗/屬世」(如流行曲只有情歌；電視節目皆大歡喜反智)，而暗地自抬身價，視自家基教之文化為「上品/屬靈」(卻不談和合本的「怪中文」和「餓門是快樂的好兒童」那一類歌詞)。回Shamayim:是law，d紅雪是從何而來呢?
我從來都未見過拍到真的紅雪，全都是電腦效果。
這是從庫爾德人的傳說而來的，現在便和這首「(基督教詩歌/流行曲?」放在一起，關於紅雪，我還有很多疑問。
不過，大家(包括小弟)聽關心研聽得咁入神，我又無謂大煞風景了。
給銀狐：亞拉臘山由白變紅
MTV裡的亞拉臘山由白變紅，可能代表數(?)十年一次降落在該山上的紅雪?Road Show 音樂前線
個MTV都拍得ok，首歌的確唱得很好!
歌聲樂韻悠揚，直達窮蒼，亞拉臘山跟籃天碧海混和為一，海天一色。關心研伸手扇形於天空展開，仿似打開了亞拉臘山的天空。既又是在海的前面，真是有摩西分開紅海的氣勢。
仲有人拉小提琴呢!很有藝術家的feel!
然而，最後亞拉臘山由白變紅了，不知道這個有沒有什麼根據，有什麼喻意，你們知道這個變紅的意義之根源嗎?會不會是聖經的呢?
Thanks GOD! 卡拉OK都上榜!!
這兩首歌更打入加州紅KARAOKE榜第三及四位, 感謝神, 可以在這地方大唱讚美詩歌!!!一定要約多d人一齊!!!! = )

In addition to the two beautiful songs, ...
In addition to the two very beautiful songs, I think it seems fair to say that, for both its critics and its supporters, the movie has also served to raise people's interest in the issues surrounding Noah's Ark.
Spotty evidence of the possible, though not proven, existence of Noah's Ark has been continually reported since the early centuries of the Church. For example, the first-century Jewish historian Josephus (whose writings also provide extrabiblical support for the historicity of the person Jesus) stated ‘for the ark being saved in that place, its remains are shown there by the inhabitants to this day’. ) However, a great majority of Christians may not be aware of, or give enough thought/ weight to, such evidence. At the same time, they are being incessantly bombarded and overwhelmed by the Old Earth positions of the contemporary mainstream scientific community. As a result, many Christians, even learned theologians, have long given up on the historicity of the early chapters of Genesis.
In this respect, I think the movie has served a very useful purpose of encouraging both Christians and non-Christians to have deeper reflection on these issues, prompt them to do further research in these subjects, and perhaps a revaluation of their positions.
The songs are very good
I listened to 香港電台's「中文歌曲龍虎榜」 when I did my secondary school in Hong Kong many many years ago; learning that this program is still around brings back a lot of fond memories to me.
It is very comforting to know that 〈挪亞方舟〉 and 〈偶然遇上的驚喜〉，登上香港電台「中文歌曲龍虎榜」. The words of the two songs are very meaningful, and their tunes are very memorable and easy to follow. Moreover, both 關心妍 and 梁奕倫 sang very well. I wish them every success in their singing ministries and careers, and may they continue to use their singing performance talents to honor the Lord and bless their listeners in the years to come.
