The Name is an Anagram: Noah Cross

Noah=Flood
Cross=Christ
What does one have to do with the other?
And what does either have to do with the movie?

Has to do with the original broken dam that brought the flood and deaths that Hollis built and refused to do again. Then he is killed/sacraficed, so that water can be brought to LA and the valley to create life.
shareNoah Cross wasn't killed/sacrificed. Hollis Mulwray was killed/sacrificed. Noah was the killer/sacrifice/executioner.
What I am trying to show is that Ira Levin used Anagrams to choose names and flesh out his novel "Rosemary's Baby" and that Roman Polanski was aware of this. I then remembered how much I enjoyed Chinatown and decided to check out the script which Polanski wrote.
Whether Anagrams are a legitimate occult tool that is truthful or not, it is a tool in use which is strangely insightful if given the time to digest additional truths a reader/viewer may have questions about. The author/scriptwriter/director may have input answers in objects, names, or lines.
Have fun with it! Don't take it too seriously!

I never said Noah Cross was killed. Just had read another analysis and they mentioned the name Noah as a biblical reference. Just throwing things out there, like you.
shareOk, then what about believing that fishes should be served with their heads on?
That was always an odd habit, I thought. There was the Albacore club, or "apple core". And the guy whose wife was getting banged in the woods was a fisherman. Then there was the fish in the tidepool in Hollis' back yard.
Lot's of fish symbolism.

Well, LA is close to the ocean.
I took the "served with the heads on" quirk as Cross enjoying looking his victims in the eye.
Plus, there's the theme of "imperfect twins," mostly eyes. One visible fish eye, Jake's one slit nostril, one broken glass, one missing shoe, one broken bifocal lens... all the way up to Evelyn's one shot-out eye.
