This movie will get you thinking. The movie centres around the actions of Sandra Bullock’s character. We see what she does, but are challenged to consider her motivations. As only God can truly know one’s heart, it is an interesting investigation into whether her actions are simply altruistically motivated, or is there something else behind the winning smile.
You will also be challenged to consider what it means to help someone. What we think is helpful, might not be in their best interests. It reminds me of how God has met my deepest need in what Jesus has done for me, even though if I had the opportunity I probably would have asked for a thousand different things first.
A word of warning. If you have a weak stomach when it comes to watching bones go where they are not supposed to, keep your eyes closed at the very beginning while the woman counts “One Mississippi, two Mississippi, ...” When the music starts it’s safe to watch.
