So then how do i start with this one?Oh!Well the old fashioned way i guess.Bruce Almighty was a 2003 American comedy movie directed by Tom Shadyac and stars Jim Carrey,Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Aniston in the lead roles.The movie is about a common man,Bruce Nolan(Jim Carrey) being given the power and responsibility of the almighty himself and how he handles the power.The film is very funny at times and has its fair share of seriousness as well which includes certain words by God(Morgan Freeman) which can make one really think about themselves.The part that i found to my liking the most was that God was not potrayed as a man belonging to any single religion,but instead as just a common man like anybody else. What can be said about Jim Carrey.I find him to be an extraordinary actor because its his versatility that intrigues me.From playing eccentric characters in "The Mask" and "Ace Ventura",he went on to play a completely contrasting role in "The Truman Show" doing equally well on all three occasions.He is one of the those actors who does not require an academy award to prove himself.This role in my opinion is a combination of my two previous mentioned roles of his.He was near perfect in this one.I feel he was made for it.
Now coming to Morgan Freeman,nothing much can be said about him because he appears to be comfortable with whatever role he plays and plays it well.I am sure nobody can play a role full of wisdom better than he can.The role of God is tricky and this portrayal as an easy going man is very good.
Anybody used to the popular television show known as "Friends(1994-2004)" would be familiar with "Rachel" played by Jennifer Aniston who plays the female lead and the girlfriend of Bruce Nolan(Jim Carrey).This role is very different in comparison to the role of "Rachel" which she has played for 10 years.This just proves that Aniston is an actress with a lot of potential.
The key elements of the plot like i said includes a common man being given "the power" and how he realizes that one does not require God's power to lead a happy life.The director in my opinion has done a good job with this movie.It is very very funny at times as well,most notably the scene where Bruce makes Evan Baxter read the news in his own way.This is a Jim Carrey movie after all right?So it has to be funny.If you haven't seen it,you have missed an amazing movie.
My rating:-4.5/5

ReplyDelete@Achallashankar:-Thank you for pointing out because constructive criticism always makes one improve himself but i'll give you my reasons for not including them.One-Reviewing all that would make the post lengthier than it already is and two-i didn't feel they were necessary because nobody seriously gives a squat about them when it comes to a comedy and especially one by Jim Carrey.Thank you for popping in and the comment was much appreciated.
