Possible interpretation of one element (SPOILER)




I haven't seen this discussed yet:

So we have Adam and Eve, we have the Forbidden Fruit, we have Cain and Abel. So far so good. Then we have the wake, with lots of new people showing up and making a mess. How does that all end? When the sink breaks and water goes everywhere. I think that is the flood.

After that, things calm down for a while, until God "writes" the New Testament and Jesus makes his appearance.

You are spot on. In fact, Aronofksy said as much in one of his Q & A panels.

reply

Did he? I hadn't read anything specific about the sink/flood connection(not that I have searched extensively for various interpretations).

If I have time some day I'll post a link to it. He did so many Q & A's after the movie started getting screened that there are a lot to re-watch before I find the one confirming your theory.

Lawrence even tells Bardem she is going to "clean up the apocalypse" after the guests leave.

I think the woman taking the boy to the bathroom is supposed to be Hannah and Samuel.
