protagonist is no longer Jim Carrey, but his nemesis Steve Carell in the previous episode, who was played by Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey). The teasing news anchor Evan Baxter. The only one I know of Steve Carell is "Little Miss Sunshine", who plays a suicidal uncle. Whether Carell can have Jim Carrey's funny this time, I have been holding a wait-and-see attitude. Maybe the script is good enough , the dialogue is good, so Steve Carell also played it just right.
The director is also Tom Shadyac from the previous episode, and this time he also gave the audience a happy and satisfying 95 minutes. The whole film is almost silent, with a lot of humor, even if there is no religious belief viewers will not feel preaching or imposing certain beliefs on them.
Morgan Freeman plays God again, still satisfying.
As a believer, personal perception may be a little different from other audiences. Contagious, lighthearted 614, these three numbers are more closely related to me, and I can't help laughing when I see it. 614, in fact, is in Genesis 6:14: Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. (You shall build an ark out of gopher wood, make it room by room, and smear it with rosin inside and out). This is God's revelation to Evan Baxter. The alarm clock at 7:00 in the morning went off at 6:14am, and the license plate after becoming a member of Congress was Gen 614 (Gen is Genesis, which is the Book of Genesis), and many details are both humorous and interesting.
Also: beards grow after shaving, animals follow him pair by pair (Evan), flocks of birds fly into his office in Congress, subordinates respond, sons become like John Lennon's to fathers The responses... all made me smile. Oh, and also, did you notice that many of the details were carefully designed? For example, when Morgan Freeman appeared in front of Mrs. Evan in the restaurant, he pretended to be a waiter, and the brand name was Al Mighty . In addition, Evan's alarm clock is GE, General Electric, but the words are faded, only Gen and 6:14 every morning. It is very subtle.
When the ark that Evan and his family built together tossed in the waves, that For a moment, I was also moved. Yes, our God is so powerful, He is a God who calms the storm, and a God who can be provoked. There is also Evan in the movie, who simply obeys God's will, even his family Even when the whole world doubted him, he still insisted on following the Lord's will, which is a good reminder.
In fact, these two movies can be said to be gospel movies, extremely entertaining gospel movies, and even non-Christians will not resist Comedy. You don't know how to laugh because you don't agree with the belief, and you don't find a story boring because you don't know a chapter or a sermon in the Bible. If you only watch a comedy, it will be very interesting. I like it.
And I laughed so many times that I clapped and clapped together at the end!
Although Rotten Tomatoes is only 24% positive, I still highly recommend everyone to watch it!
Also, ARK = Acts of Random Kindness. The Ark is more than just building a ship.
