Evan ALMIGHTY
In this sequel to BRUCE ALMIGHTY, newscaster Evan Baxter (Steve Carrell, THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN) has traded in the news desk for a post in Washington as a congressman. Though his campaign was based on the idea of changing the world, Evan drives a gas-guzzling SUV and spends more time trimming his nose hair than with his three sons. When he has a strange encounter with God (Oscar winner Morgan Freeman, reprising his role from the first film), God tells him to build an ark, just as Noah did thousands of years ago. Though Evan is skeptical, he finally accepts the task after being hounded by dozens of animals that follow him, two by two. By obeying God, Evan risks his family, career, and sanity--but will a flood actually come and prove him right.
I thought it would just be a pure comedy show. But turns out for me, a simple yet striking message. There was a part where God said to Evan's wife:"Do you think that when you pray for courage, I will make you more brave, more courages? Instead I give you opportunities to make yourself courages. Do you think that when you pray for your family to be closer, I make your family more cuddling, warm and closer together just like that? No... I give you opportunities for your family to get closer."
