Film Analysis: The Homeless Man

792 Words4 Pages

Exploring and looking into the character of God who is depicted in this movie, it is interesting to note that in one scene, God is seen fixing a light in the upper section of a roof of a building that is on the seventh floor. It made me wonder if the seven is referred to as the digit of completion or the heavens. This makes me ask the author why the author chose to show God in a building and not either the real heaven. Also, since God is in disguise, can it be that the homeless man in the movie is God in disguise? My claim is based on the signs that he is shown carrying in the movie, at several occasion throughout the movie.
The (character) God’s words to Bruce “I’ve been waiting for you” and that “I know a lot about you Bruce” suggest that God is not only been waiting on meeting with Bruce but has waited for Bruce to recognize who and what God has put in his life and for what reason. God had been dressed up in disguise and Bruce takes some time to learn that he was no ordinary man but God himself. Bruce is not humble at even meeting with God. There is no repentance or confession in his story except that he shouts out at God saying “by the way, you …show more content…

Once Bruce has been given powers by God himself, Bruce forgets that has been given the powers for a short amount of time. Stressing on the words by God “be careful what you wish for” makes me wonder. Looking at what kind of God is talking with Bruce, God is witnessed saying “ take a closer walk with me.” It is fascinating to hear God instructing Bruce about free-will that he cannot “mess’ with it. Though God has also instructed him not to tell anyone that he is God, at the same time, the song “I’ve got the power “does relate to man’s human nature of feeling himself proud of that

    When the final notes of the Born to Run album rolled and Bruce Lundvall, president of Columbia Records. Looked over at Bruce and said, “You just made a hit record”, Bruce shrugged it off and walked away. As I delve deeper into Springsteen, it is apparent that he was hard on himself. This could be from his women troubles, his awareness of a divide in the E street band, or his abandonment issues stemming from his father or a concoction of these factors. One might think that sweeping praise from the top executive in his record company would have eased the make-or-break burden that Bruce lugged with him.

  • Batman's Ambiguity In The Dark Knight

    In the 2008 film The Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan, it can be argued that the main character Batman is considered morally ambiguous, because even though he is a vigilante the way in which he does things does not always correspond with the law. Batman’s alter-ego Bruce Wayne is a billionaire who dedicates himself to protecting Gotham City from its criminal underworld and from his archenemy, The Joker. One of the reasons Batman can be considered ambiguous is because he does immoral things such as hacking peoples cellphones and using the signals as a map of the city, even though he commits this unethical act, it is all done to protect the city from The Joker.
