I think the scene leads to something interesting. Bruce answers everyone's prayers, but some are STILL not happy with the results. It's kind of a "be careful what you wish for" moment.
It is possible that God answers in that way too. You may ask God like this but in your heart, you actually want to ask *"God, can I actually choose BOTH my life dreams and the love of my life?"*
One time, my pastor told me that God answers prayers in three ways: Yes, No, and Wait. This has proven to be true in my own life. When I was at a crossroads, trying to decide whether to give up college and join the military or not, I prayed and asked God for guidance. He answered me in a unique way - through the radio. The host on the radio was speaking about something that was very specific to me, although it was not intentional. I saw it as a sign that God heard me. I asked God, "Should I stay with college?" and decided to wait for an answer. On my way home, every traffic light was green - which was unusual. I thought maybe it was a sign to keep going. However, the last light before I reached my house was red. I questioned whether or not this was a coincidence, and I prayed out loud: "Maybe this isn't the answer, but I will wait to hear from you." Suddenly, the light changed green even though there were no other cars around to trigger it. At that moment, I knew that I should not give up on college. I said, "Alright, God. I hear you." The next semester, I met my future wife.
Suggestion when answering prayers: Answer only the ones that are not personal for individuals but are directed towards the wellbeing of others. Let someone in the hospital get better to go home to their loved ones, enable someone who’s down on their knees and begging for a break from the darkest corners of the world have some hope, bring a broken family back together, etc.
I always dream of going to Mount Everest and I am looking forward to a better life no matter what happens although I had a hard time and make things possible. I hope I can be a great example just like Bruce and say my prayers more often and stop lashing out at all times.
Honestly probably one of the simplest movie decisions that could have had apocalyptic outcomes all it takes is one unhinged man to wish for the power to warp reality to his whim and suddenly you got Nega Bruce
Let someone like Bruce have God’s powers when it comes to the prayers: He messes things up. Let someone responsible have God’s powers when it comes to the prayers: Does not matter how responsible. He or she has limits because they are only human. Even having filter features like “bad prayers” won’t help much because you have to be specific on what bad prayers mean. Like “I wish it is Christmas everyday.” is not a bad prayer but a harmless one though it can also lead to regrets in the long run. There is no shortcut to success after all. If you think you can do better, go ahead. Just be prepared to face the consequences if you mess up.
Funny thing is, that is STILL only between 57th Street and the Commonwealth in Buffalo. Now, think about that, but the entire world, and perhaps beyond.
"i didn't want to start you off with more than you could handle." God knows what each of us is capable of, you'll NEVER be burdened with more than that.
easy solution: stop time, answer prayers in the time thus far, continue life, repeat the next day. of course it could be like clockstoppers where you age...or you just command no extra ageing...idk
I knew it all along. I can’t believe it. I am truly blessed!!! Thank you FATHER IN HEAVEN!!! I am so grateful beyond belief!!! Thank you, thank you, and thank you 🙏🏾!!!
If real God replying prayers, he won't just only say "Yes" or "No" to them. Maybe answers like "Yes, but work hard." "No, it's not a proper time." "You have to…" "Don't be…" or no reply.
If God really exist, he wouldn't care about humans just like we humans don't care about ants. Seriously, the one major wrong thing about religions are to say God, a powerful being care about us humans. Think about it, there are TRILLIONS of galaxies, TRILLIONS upon TRILLIONS of planet. Ours planet is like a grain of sand in the desert. So to say a powerful being would care about this planet and us humans are the same as telling people to go to the desert and look and focus on a particular piece grain of sand.
its actually kinda a simple straight forward job, all you had to do is answer the prayers but yeah you had to read all of them one by one and it keep build up. i would take that job and read their prayers.
That woman in the red jacket, at 4:45, prayed, "Please let me lose weight on the Krispy Kreme diet,"?! Seems like someone who wants to lose weight but can continue eating junk food. Maybe by answering "No," it would've made her realize that she needs to eat healthier. Something God probably would've said to Bruce in that deleted scene of showing the results about people always getting what they want.
@@Loanthanhphat1309 I'm referring to when God shows how Bruce made a fat kid strong so kids would stop picking on him in gym which resulted in him being a bully and now he would go towards being a professional wrestler and then end up managing a muffler shop after testing positive for steroids. Had the boy not gotten what he prayed for, he would've become a great poet whose work would've been based around his childhood pain. Also how a woman named Ester was bankrupted and Bruce caused her to have an accident at a grocery store where a lawyer saw everything and got her to sue the store. It resulted in her winning a lot of money and buying a condo in South Florida but living a lonely life. God tells Bruce had Ester not gotten what she prayed for, she would've had to call her sister for help which would've gotten them back together. If God had shown Bruce about helping that woman lose weight, God: "She's lost nearly 50 pounds on a diet of Krispy Kream." Bruce: "Well, now she doesn't have to give up Krispy Kream. I mean that stuff's good. It's gooood." God: "I know it is but now she believes she can keep on eating junk food without getting fat. Although, she's losing weight, she's still going to develop other problems in the near future." Bruce: "Like what?" God: "High blood pressure, liver disease, diabetes and the possible risks of having a heart attack and/or a stroke." Bruce:(cringes) "Ooooh." God: "Had she not lost all that weight, it would've convinced her that her only choice was to start eating more healthy foods and take better care of herself. She would've been inspiration to her whole family." Perhaps later, when Bruce stops answering YES to all, that woman starts gaining the weight back. She throws away the junk food and is later seen eating carrot sticks.

@@Mozes316 I get you, it's why Christians often argue you can't fully understand God. Probably because when you really think about it, it's quite uncomfortable to think our creator sees our pain and doesn't care.
@@RileyWritey honestly it was those type of answer that really helped push me out of the religion altogether. That and "You can't question his plan!" "Our human minds can't even begin to understand!" and so on... It was a bit off-putting to me, personally.
The problem I have with this movie Is that God makes him Almighty but not All-Knowing. Being All-Knowimg is one of the Powers of God that allows him to do wise things. Without being All-Knowimg, Bruce is not God, just a jerk with superpowers.
The issue comes down to Bruce's desires. He COULD give himself foresight and knowledge, but hes more interested in having hot sex, shoving monkeys up butts, and making his coworker look like an idiot on live TV. So he has the power to access it but not the will, because he doesn't care about infinite knowledge. Only what's in front of him and will benefit him.
That's the point. God is testing Bruce as a flawed mortal. God even challenged Bruce to do a better job as himself. It will be just a short film if Bruce was given All-Knowing.
Him not being all-knowing isn't a problem, it's the point... the whole movie is not really about Bruce, it's about God's ego. Are we to believe that, if Bruce had gone about his newfound powers with any kind of sensibility, like, say, setting up an angelic organisation to research and answer prayers, and organise regular divine scouting missions to travel the world and report on issues - that God would’ve sustained his powers? Nope, God’s ego was wounded at Bruce’s challenge, and the whoooole movie is God putting Bruce in his place… pun intended. Bruce had no guidance nor the wherewithal or maturity to handle such power and responsibility, he was bound to fail. Indeed, not only did God know that he’d fail, but He intended for Bruce to fail. Of course, this is a comedy movie so it’s not that deep, but still, someone else could’ve absolutely done a better job than God if given the opportunity.
