Bruce Almighty

 Hey Everyone! 

I hope you are having a great week so far! 

I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies, Bruce Almighty starring Jim Carrey Jennifer Aniston , Lisa Ann Walter Morgan Freeman, Steve Carell and a whole wonderful cast. 

The movie starts off with a newscaster named Bruce Nolan who is a television field Reporter for Eye Witness News On WKBW Tv in Buffalo but desires to be a news anchorman succeeding retiring the Pete Fineman.

When Bruce’s rival Evan Baxter is unfortunately given the job , he has an immediate vulgar outburst that ends up getting him fired and dismissed from his job.

He ends up having a couple other misfortunes after his firing and he complains to God about his situation and that he’s the one that should be fired, the next morning he gets a page on his pager and it takes him to an empty warehouse where he meets God.

God offers to give Bruce his powers to prove that he is doing his job better than he does, God tells Bruce to not tell anyone that he has his powers to avoid media attention and he can’t use his powers for free will.

 Bruce at first uses the powers carelessly, like for personal gains getting his job back and impressing his girlfriend Grace Connelly.

He finds a way to use his powers around buffalo for miraculous events around his community, he earns the nickname Mr. Exclusive and he also embarrasses Evan on national tv, causing  Evan to be fired from his original job.

Bruce is the new anchor, Bruce begins to hear voices in his head and he has an another meeting with God, who tells Bruce the voices he hears are prayers that he must deal with.

Bruce creates a computerized email like system to receive the prayers and respond the amount of prayers that comes in is too much for him to handle and sets the program to answer yes automatically, Bruce attends a party celebrating his premonition.

Grace arrives to the party and finds Bruce kissing his Co-anchor Susan Ortega after she forcefully comes on to him, Brooke quickly Leaves the party and Bruce tries using his powers to get Brooke pack.

He can’t influence her free will, and he notices that everything in buffalo is falling apart, he then goes to God and God tells him he can’t solve all the problems and has to figure out a way himself to get out of it, he decides to not use his powers and help people on his own, he gives Evan his job back and starts answering the prayers earnestly.

He sees some prayers from Brooke wishing for his success and well-being,  as Bruce reads Brooke’s prayer another one comes in and she wishes not to be In love with Bruce anymore, stunned by this development he walks alone on a highway and asks God to take his powers back leaving his fate in his hands. 

I decided to write about this movie, because it’s a good movie , and it makes me laugh and smile, and it shows you how much with great power comes great responsibility.

 God gave Bruce his powers and he told Bruce that with his powers come great responsibility, and Bruce didn’t realize what a big statement that was until he received Gods powers and everything that comes with being God, the same line is in Spider-Man, where Peter’s Uncle Ben tells him with Great Power comes Great Responsibility, like his powers are Great and fun, it also comes with a lot of responsibility like protecting his community and all the people and fighting the villains.

That’s a big responsibility, I have learned that even though sometimes things come with a big responsibility everything will be ok and everything will turn alright in the end, and as Kelly Clarkson sings what doesn’t Kill makes you stronger. And God will never give you anything to hard that you can’t handle.

My favorite scene from the movie is when Bruce and God have their first meeting and conversation together, it’s a funny scene and it will make you laugh, I also like the scene where God and Bruce talk and Bruce says a prayer and God tells him that’s a good prayer. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a good giggle.
