Bruce in the film is a reporter who wants to be a host, but the host is out of reach. He hated his job as a reporter, but the humorous broadcast still made many people like him. In front of the camera, he is lively and cute, and under the camera, he is a middle-aged weak man full of complaints. He attributed all the dissatisfaction in life to the injustice of God. Okay, God might really be annoyed by his complaints, and gave him his supernatural powers, and let him try to be God.
Bruce is indeed a small person, receiving such a big gift but not asking for a big business, but just letting himself live comfortably in a small area. Blowing the pretty girl's skirt with the wind, changing the clothes in the shop window to herself, teaching the little bastard who made herself suffer. With supernatural power, the maddening Bruce disappeared, on the contrary it was quite rare. Such a big person is still jumping on the street like a child, possessing an ulterior secret, and the pride in his heart makes people laugh. Pulling down the romance between the moon making and his girlfriend, making big news finally got the position of the host, lazy to satisfy everyone's prayers...and then everything went into chaos.
When he finally realized that he was not suitable for the job of God, and understood that love requires hard work, and any wish requires his own hard work to come true, he ended his life. After losing his girlfriend, I realized how important his girlfriend is to him, how much he loves her, but when he gets used to her by his side, his love becomes stingy and greedy.
God gave him a chance to live anew. He understands what he is suitable for, and the journalist industry can give full play to his greatest value. He understands that he is friendly with people, understands love, and uses his ability to make people happy to give more people happy smiles. At the end of the film, the beggar who had been holding the sign gradually faded from his disguise and became like a god. The sign read: The end of the world is over.
In the film, the beggar played by God every time he raises a sign, he fits the chaotic life of the male protagonist and gives guidance.
The first time the hero was late for work due to a traffic jam, the sign said: Are you blind? Bruce cursed and said that you were blind. The blindness here, my understanding is that the unrealistic desire blinded Bruce's eyes and prevented him from seeing the other side of life. In his eyes, there is only bad luck and disagreement.
The second time the male protagonist was fired and was beaten by a gangster. The sign read: Life is... The answer of the male protagonist is still to complain about God.
The third time was during a riot, and the sign read: May your kingdom come. The result of everyone's satisfaction in prayer is the collapse of the social order, and the riots come like the end of the world.
The fourth time was when the male protagonist saw a beggar's placard in a traffic jam after the riot: to win all. This sentence is also a turning point in Bruce's heart. He started to live an active life, and finally started to help others, and felt happy from it.
For the fifth time, Bruce stood beside the beggar. The sign of the beggar said: God is a good man. Bruce also raised a card, which said: He was right. The God here, my understanding is two-level metaphor. The God written by the beggar refers to Bruce. After all, it is Bruce who is now in charge of God, and he has truly become a good person. The God Bruce was talking about was still God, and it was God who let him see the happiness of life.
The last time Bruce participated in the blood summer camp that he sniffed at the beginning of the film, and called on more people to participate in the event to save more people in need of blood transfusion. For the first time in the show, he generously admitted the identity of his girlfriend's fiancee, and made everyone feel happy. God appears: the end of the world is over. The end of the world is not only the male protagonist’s irresponsible abuse of divine power, the abnormal movement of the moon caused natural disasters, nor is it not only the male protagonist’s use of divine power to pull an asteroid to hit the earth, causing power outages, but the world of the male protagonist. The end is finally over. He rediscovered the meaning of survival from a person who was tired of life.
The film also expresses a positive praise for free will. When God gave Bruce supernatural power, he also warned him: 1 can't tell others that you are God, 2 can't change people's free will. The actor in the film tries to restore his girlfriend's feelings with divine power, but nothing can be changed. In the end, it is love to restore his girlfriend. There is a lot of truth in what God said: People always ignore their ability to realize their wishes.
Instead of placing hopes on illusory prayers and wishes, it is better to work harder and harder to do everything right now. No matter what kind of belief, it is just a spiritual sustenance, and it cannot make you want to get what you want easily like magic. All beliefs are just for you to rely on and seek spiritual peace, instead of complaining and entrusting all your hopes. It's a man-made comparable ending that is much better than resignation. Your attitude is the key to success. God is not aloof, maybe by everyone's side, maybe a bad old man on the subway, maybe a beggar in the crowd, maybe an open flower. With a positive attitude and strong will, you can live happily.
God is always by your side, don't blame yourself, don't magnify your misfortune. Everything around me, the most ordinary and the most ordinary, is actually the most beautiful.
Treat the people around you with a grateful heart and soothe the injured heart. This is not easy. But try to do it.
The mentality is like watching the lotus in full bloom, each petal has its law and its beauty. Don't force it, all the unpleasant feelings come from the places where you can't see the beauty.
