Jim Carrey's classic interpretation of "Fake Gods", do miracles rely on prayer or on themselves?
brief introduction:
Handsome and funny Bruce ( Jim Carrey ), the host of a Buffalo TV show, is furious when his co-workers take his eagerly-anticipated anchor spot. Girlfriend Grace ( played by Jennifer Aniston ) and Bruce are living together and looking forward to getting married, but Bruce apparently hasn't thought about it. Bruce, who complained during the broadcast, was fired, so he cursed that God had taken everything that belonged to him.
Bruce receives a job call and finds out that the boss who asked him to apply is actually God ( Morgan Freeman ). God decides to give him the power of the gods, so that he understands that anyone who wants to be happy must rely on his own hands. To achieve rather than divine power.
Bruce, who got the power of the gods, really fulfilled many wishes, but he found that the things he got easily did not make him real happiness, and even his beloved girlfriend left him. In the end, Bruce found God to give up divine power and regained love, career, and happiness with his sincerity.
The following brief review:
When did I fall in love with the actor Jim Carrey ? It probably started from this movie. I have watched it many times, but every time I watch it, I still find it funny. His expression is exaggerated, and there is loneliness in the lively. Unruly on the outside but warm on the inside.
God has only two requirements for Bruce. He can't tell others that he is a god, and he can't interfere with the free will of others. In addition, he can use the power of gods to his heart's content.
Divine power can achieve many things, such as dividing tomato soup in half, making monkeys get out of fat man's pants, squirting countless bees from his mouth, winning the lottery for everyone, making his girlfriend's breast bigger, and pulling the moon to the window When the light is on, let the dog go to the toilet on its own. Digging out big news to be a streamer, getting a competing reporter arrested for marijuana in their car, and yes, making everyone's dream come true with a simple prayer.
When we were in school, we would also send New Year's cards and birthday cards to our good friends. One of the most common blessings was "It will come true", remember? We never seem to seriously think about why and how? Why can we achieve what we want? How do we make our dreams come true? How can we make our dreams come true? Is it written on a greeting card and pretending God knows and then getting back in the quilt and waiting? Or go to the temple to burn incense and kowtow on the 15th day of the first lunar month, begging for a lot of money to enter the golden list and get your son as early as possible? Speaking of getting a son early, I suddenly thought of a joke, no matter how devoutly kneeling and praying, there must be a partner to cooperate to make the sperm and egg hug together, otherwise, let alone burning incense, even if the temple is burned to send the son to the goddess, I will cry. Tears can't help.
The city of Buffalo is in turmoil. The winner is unwilling to win only 17 yuan. The super moon brings floods, and his girlfriend leaves when he sees him kissing another woman. It is difficult to continue the work of the anchor. Bruce gets confused and asks God for help, God says it's not a miracle that you split the tomato soup in half, it's just magic, it's a miracle that a single mother works two jobs and can practice ball with her kids, that a teenager can stay off drugs and work hard. Education is a miracle, and miracles should be created by yourself, not just by prayer.
So Bruce quit his job as an anchor and trained his dog to go to the bathroom outside. Before God, he did not pray for his girlfriend to change her mind, but to pray that her girlfriend could find true love and live a happy life. Because his prayer was not for himself, but with sincerity, his girlfriend came back to him. Bruce also returned to being a reporter.
I'm thinking that putting in the effort might be the only thing we can do, and I don't even believe much in prayer based on the given facts. Prayer is not so much asking God for help, it is more about sorting out your thoughts, clarifying what you really want, dialogue with yourself, reflection, questioning, communication, reconciliation, and confirmation. It's like entering the confirmation key after entering the password on the ATM. If you don't confirm it, you will exit.
The film is, of course, comedy and inspirational. It would be too easy if you laughed after watching it and then got up and worked hard right away. Everyone understands the truth, but it is rare to implement it. Everyone knows that memorizing 8,000 words is very important. There are still many people who have not exceeded 3,000. They know that they need to diet and exercise to lose weight, but there will be more people tomorrow, otherwise the streets will be full of handsome men and beautiful women. Like my father, he is a university graduate, an intellectual, and of course he understands that smoking is harmful to health. He smoked in his teens until he was 50. He started to suffer from bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at the age of 50. He has been suffering for 20 years now. Keep an oxygen concentrator on the side and keep a breath-spreading spray in your pocket at all times.
When we were young, we all liked to do addition, I want this, I want that too, I want to learn this, I want to try that too, get to know more people, gather more resources, get busier and more lively, as if the sky is full If I don't seize the opportunity, I won't seize it, as if others have it and I will lose a lot if I don't. It is only in middle age that people slowly discover that time is limited and energy is limited. It is difficult to be large and complete, but being small and beautiful is enough. So I started to do subtraction, put aside unnecessary entertainment, let go of too many desires and vanity, concentrate on the field that I like to be good at, and get along with the few people I like the most who get along well. true meaning.
I have taken a lot of detours myself, but there are also scenery along the detour. It seems that you are full after eating three and a half steamed buns. It is not the credit of the last half of the steamed buns. The first three are also necessary. You and I are not gods. We can't wave a magic wand to get the devil figure of a famous car and a mansion, but we can look at the recipe to study a favorite food, give a little support to those who need help, and pursue a specific small The achievement of the goal can be done with kindness and tenderness to face every day in the future.
Happy!
