Another film we were able to choose for our final paper that contains a positive religious message is Bruce Almighty. Too often we as humans are selfish and think we know it all. In this film, Bruce, the main character in the film begins blaming God for all the problems occurring in his life. He has a rare encounter and somehow he is given the power of God. At the time, he thinks he was just handed the best gift in the world, when in reality he has no idea what the role of God entails. Bruce keeps up with his selfish ways, but soon his actions catch up with him and he basically loses it all. I really feel this is the way we all can be. We blame our problems on God, when we really need to be seeking him in our time of trouble. God will be there for us if we have faith. To me as a Christian I feel that this films message was approaching a religious message in a great way. The move was humorous, but the message the audience received was so much more. We see Bruce at his lowest point without God, and then see him at his best with his heart full of love and compassion. Selfishness can ruin anything and everything, and Bruce learned that in this film.
