The story about Northfork is about about a town that is about be flooded and the town is dealing with the situation. When the film starts most of the town is deserted and the last few people are packing up and moving away. One scene of this is when there are three cars that take different paths in three different paths at a crossroad. This is like the people of the town are scattered into the four winds. The father and son have the job to eventuate the people from the town but they have some of their own trouble about the moving. The trouble is whether or not move the father's wife from her grave. They don't know what is better, move her from her resting place to move her to a better place or leave her in her resting place but have it covered in water.
The film Northfork had several different religious symbols. Some of the symbols are obvious like an ark with two of everything (including two wives), some angels, and a great flood. Some of the symbols are not too obvious. One of the symbols is when the boy dies, he takes a plane ride. This could symbolize him flying off to Heaven. Also it shows that the other angels can too “fly”.
One of my favorite symbols is the term of moving to a higher ground. The term higher ground could mean a better life. With some people the higher ground can mean heaven. The people move to heaven in order to get safe. They are going to be saved from the flood. The flood can be the great flood in The Bible but this time the people are saved.
