Bruce Almighty

Bruce asked God, " How do you make so many people love you without affecting Free Will?"
God answered, "Heh, welcome to my world, son. If you come up with an answer to that one, let me know. "

That was the question that Bruce raised up to God when he got the power but felt helpless as failed to made up with his girl friend...

God responded with great humor in the movie. The old Christian gospel: He loves people so much by sending His son Jesus Christ to die for our sin. Looking forward to people turn back to Him. Indeed there are huge lots of thing that God cannot do: He cannot hate people, He cannot change 'free-will' inside people.

The movie is a comedy for sure, someone played God with superpower, splitting a bowl of soup into half as red sea and causing metoroid fall onto Earth..

One of the famous quote I like when God told Bruce: "Parting a soup is not a miracle, Bruce. It's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs, and still finds time to take her son to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says "no" to drugs and "yes" to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them. What they don't realize is *they* have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle. "

The struggle came back again, what's the purpose of life. In Bruce's context, to became the anchor of the news channel, get rich and got his girl friend back....?

The part of answering prayers raised up an interesting point: what would the world looks like if everyone's prayer being answered as 'Yes'...!? Everyone got first price of lottery ticket and only got splited for $17. The city turned into chaos.

Morgan Freeman, with his humor, played the role of God. Would the director did have a thought in picking up this role by choosing an African American to play it in contrary to racism in the States?

I would say this as an alternate evangelical movie as letting people think about life and God.

Be the miracle, once you know the purpose of life..!

Looking forward to watch Evan Almighty which is still showing around..! ;p
