God in the Movies – 1
Posted by: wisdomtree on: October 22, 2009
In The Man Who Sued God (2001), an ex-lawyer Steve Myers (played by Billy Connolly) sues God because his boat is struck by lightning, and worse his insurance company refuses to pay since the mishap is perceived as an act of God.
The Christian churches and Jewish synagogues are held liable and are asked to either pay large sums of money or prove that God does not exist.
What if God came down to live amongst us?

Arai En 305il Kadavul [ God in Room No 305]
First Take: Modhi Vilayadu (2008)
Posted by: wisdomtree on: October 21, 2009
Modhi Vilayadu (2009) narrates the story about Uday Vasudev and his tryst with (borrowed) identity. The film raises the question: What if you have lived a lie all your life?
The film introduces Uday, Rajan Vasudev, Chanakya and Eswari and begin to feel sad for them. Why?
You feel sad for
- Uday(for the lie he lived)
- Rajan Vasudev (for the life he lived)
- Chanakya (for the false life he loved)
- Madan (for the life he never lived)
- Eswari(for the lie she believed)
People spell LIFE as: I, IF, LIE, LIFE
Life has to be spelt as LIFE!
How do you face the truth about yourself? How do you let go false identity? How do you let go ‘borrowed’ identity?
How do you live your life – in all its fullness?
