In the comedy based on the Old Testament texts “The Beginning of Time”, the actors mercilessly mocked the Hollywood and biblical cliches in the frame. At the box office and at the premiere, their characters caused a standing ovation.
Old Testament lands
When the film “The Beginning of Time” was shot, the actors had to try on loincloths and other clothes of that time, as well as experience the life of the Stone Age. But you can hardly expect from a parody of the Old Testament complete resemblance to the original. Here the snake is not a tempter, but a simple boa constrictor. And the forbidden fruit was not tasted by Eve, but by one of the loser friends in the prehistoric tribe of gatherers and hunters.
For such an offense, the guys are kicked out of the village, Oh and Zet set off. On the way, they will meet biblical heroes and make friends with one of them, and someone will have to take their legs off. The heroes of the film will witness how Cain dealt with Abel, intervene in the plans of Isaac with the sacrifice, etc.
After meeting with Isaac, they have to flee from the prospect of circumcision, hungry to female affection, guys full of hope, sent to the biblical Sodom. They have heard about the dissolute behavior of local townspeople.
The guys will also meet two tribesmen in slavery. One of them conquered the heart of Okha in the settlement, and friends decide to seek the girls through their salvation from slavery. In this case, the characters themselves fall into one trouble after another.
In the film “The Beginning of Times”, the actors will prettyly trample on the philistine ideas about the past of mankind. Between jokes, the scriptwriters fit into the plot a lot of reasons to think about different issues.
Jack black
The age of the actor in the role of Zeta for many could cause confusion. In a parody of the Old Testament, Jack Black starred in 40 years, his character looked much younger. And the behavior of most of his characters in other films resembles teenage habits.

A native of Canada, Michael Cera was born in 1988. His cinematic image of an explicit crib quite matches the character of a guy in real life. In support of this, the fact of the absenteeism of the school program three years earlier than his peers says. The guy grew up comprehensively developed and quickly achieved success in each of the selected hobbies. The first role will be received at the age of 11 years, more than 40 films now fit in his track record.
