The moral behind the fake god

The story of "Counterfeit God" is actually quite simple. It can also be said to be a routine. You can guess the end by seeing the beginning, but at the time, this kind of subject matter was still relatively rare. What would happen to the roles of mortals and gods? What kind of story? And Kim Carey's superb acting skills and outstanding comedy talent have added to this movie so much, so even if I look at it now, this old movie is still interesting, more interesting than many movies now. When a mortal gains the power of a god, what will he do, money? Beauty? Control the world? It seems to be able to see the big desire that covers the sky. But Bruce has no such ambitions. Although he has always been unlucky in his life, he only made his work successful after acquiring extraordinary abilities, and cleaned up his colleagues who often made things difficult for him. By the way, let the puppies learn to go to the bathroom by themselves. These are actually just ordinary needs, but Bruce is very satisfied. But even after it becomes different, his love is still unsatisfactory, which shows that his ability is not omnipotent. And just simple needs can still cause unexpected effects, and this side effect will affect a better life sooner or later. People always complain about what they don't have, and never care about what they already own, so the poor envy the wealth of the rich, and the rich envy the freedom of ordinary people. Mortals naturally admire God's supreme ability, but they don't know that this ability often represents a kind of responsibility. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the restraint. This is really true. The power of God is also restricted by the environment, and the God who controls the power must always pay attention to sentient beings. In fact, why doesn't God envy mortals. Bruce didn't care about this at first, he was like a poor boy who got rich overnight, and was blinded by this lawless ability. I said before that this is a routine movie, but Bruce, who doesn't understand responsibility, will naturally change himself in the end. No matter what you do is easy, then this kind of life may become boring. Satisfying one's own selfish desires will bring trouble to others at the same time, so anyone may feel guilty. Bruce began to treat his abilities from God carefully. He began to listen to the wishes and prayers of sentient beings, and did his best to realize them. When God reappeared, Bruce’s supernatural power began to disappear, but Bruce did not feel a pity. He began to correct the troubles in life through his own efforts. He left the job of the unhappy TV station, and the puppy was also dissatisfied because of his training. No matter how much he wants to urinate, and all of this is his own effort. In fact, the movie "Counterfeit Gods" is meant to give us this old-fashioned chicken soup. People can still make life a whole new look through their own efforts.
