Going to see a movie with Cage. I didn't expect the plot to be like this. I also read the movie reviews of the Great God, and then I realized that this movie is based on a novel. It's a pity that, as the great god said, except for Uncle Cage, everyone else's performances are really bad. I haven't read the novel, so let's talk about what is expressed in the movie. Take as the plot the series of events that followed the true biblical story that God said he would take millions of people to heaven. There is a part of the discussion about faith. Since God loves the world, why would he take them away and leave others to suffer? They didn't do anything wrong, maybe just because their belief wasn't God? This question is indeed worth thinking about, but the entry point of the film is a bit blunt. And the plot after that is mainly on the plane, telling how Cage and another male protagonist save the people on the plane. Maybe that's what the film is trying to convey. Maybe some people do and miss certain things, but that doesn't mean they are bad people. Even in times of crisis, they can stand up and save everyone's life. If God took those people and left others just because of faith or not. Is it really good to do this? And all the children in the film disappeared. They don't necessarily believe in God, do they? There are bad people among those who believe in God, right? It can only be said that this film may be trying to express what the Bible says. Then this God's approach is really inappropriate. It's just that this film is too blunt in terms of plot, and it wants to express so many things that it makes people feel that it is not interesting to watch. In addition, cultural differences between China and the West may also be one of the reasons for such a low score. Anyway, this movie is still worth watching. But it's not a great movie. I was blinded by Uncle Cage's superb acting skills. Hope he can make more good movies.
