i watched evan almighty with mon yesterday. and would you believe it is the sole commercial movie we ever anticipated to watched? we never care less about harry potter or the fantastic four or even the chef rat named after a pasta in france. we just looked forward for evan almighty. we got too entertainment by bruce almighty that we assumed the second installment of the almighty franchise will be as much fun as the first one. but i think we overreacted and the movie is overrated. i had fun but the "magnitude" of the topic tackled had made the film another cliche. i still love the old guy bruce and his mundanity.
but what makes it rather tolerable for me to watch this flick was actually seeing a black God acting goofy and actually laughing. yes, i admire whoever the casting director and the screenwriter of the movie were. i simply adore morgan freeman and i never care less that the face of God in 2007 is a black guy with a weird looking set of teeth and smiles genuinely. it's like breaking the typecast of a blue-eyed white God. if God is always presented as "humanly" maybe many will be more enticed to "befriend" God. we make him extremely lofty that we fear him more, and i think God never liked it. i remember this movie called "Dogma", starring the not-yet-hot-and-famous ben affleck and matt damon. God was depicted as a naive woman dancing mindlessly around the trees and the flowers. and, surprise surprise! alanis morissette portrayed God. kewl...what if God really is a woman? or what if is actually asian looking? fair skinned, flat nose, average height? now we have something to mull over..
is perceiving God as non- caucasian and non-male being sacrilegious? i don't think so.....
