Corrected entry: When God tells Bruce the two rules he says Bruce can't tell anyone he's "God" and he can't "mess with free will" but by telling Bruce himself what he can't do just by explaining the rules God himself is messing with Bruce's free will. So by God's own reasoning he's breaking his own rules.
Correction: If your parents tell you to do your homework, it's not violating your free will, because you still make the choice of whether or not you do as you're told. If they use supernatural powers to mind control you and literally force you to do it, now they've violated your free will.
Free will only applies to freedom of thought, not freedom of action.
Corrected entry: It is claimed that Grace has a rare blood group, AB positive; however, while it is true that less than 5% of people have this blood group, it is not so much rare as it is useless, as a person with AB positive blood can receive blood from any other group, yet AB positive blood can only be given to people with the same blood type. This makes this blood pretty undesirable, and not valuable at all.
Correction: In fact, if people respond better when they receive their own blood type, the O- type should be the most desired. The type O- is the only one which must obligatorily receive of the same type, contrary to the type AB+ which can receive of any type.
Correction: While this is true, people respond much better when given their own blood type as opposed to a different, but still compatible type. This makes AB very desirable.
I have AB+, what the initial post says is true. When I go in to donate blood, the staff are much more interested in my plasma rather than my blood itself. AB+ plasma is a universal plasma donor.
Correction: AB is the universal plasma and all blood types can receive AB plasma, making it as valuable as O - blood.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce transforms his beat-up car, two boys are seen skateboarding in that direction. They are seen staring in awe at the car before the car actually changes. (00:45:10)
Correction: The first time you see the boys, Bruce is already in his car. He changed the car right as he got in the car (notice the interior). That's why when they asked if it was his car, he said sarcastically "It gets me from A to B." The car was already a Saleen.
Nope. When the boys roll up, we are still seeing an exterior shot of the car, with the car unchanged, and the boys amazed.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce is seducing Grace, right in the shot of her collapsing onto the floor in the bathroom, you can see she knocks the toilet paper roll off the rack as she hits the floor. When the shot shows her standing in the bathroom doorway with her hair all messed up, the toilet paper roll is now back onto the rack. (00:44:20)
Correction: After Grace falls to the floor, the pangs of passion subside enough for her to get to her feet and come to the door. We do not see this, as the camera is only on Bruce (in the bedroom). It is not impossible that as she managed to compose herself enough to get up, she picked up the toilet paper roll and put it back. Many people do little tidying things like this absent-mindedly, while they are thinking about other things.
Perhaps, but she didn't clean up the other stuff she knocked off the shelf, and really, given that she's just had the greatest orgasm of her life, and is about to go have sex, how much do you really think she'd care about fixing it?
Corrected entry: When all the cars move out of the way for Bruce's car the traffic lights are blinking very quickly.
Correction: This is part of the parting of the traffic. The lights change to green all the way down for Bruce's Saleen while the cars are turned to the side of the road. Bruce made them change for him.
They don't change to green though. They continue to flash amber the entire time, never once turning green. What's more, the speeding up is ONLY when the cars move, and when Bruce speeds off, going back to normal in between. It's a mistake.
Corrected entry: God tells Bruce he can't mess with free will. However, he does when he makes Evan say lots of crazy stuff on TV.
Correction: He doesn't change Evan's mind such to make him want to say the gargled messages, he's merely controlling Evan's mouth as opposed to changing his thoughts. His will remains unchanged. On the other hand, forcing Grace to love him would be different than simply forcing her to utter the phrase "I love you" without her meaning it.
Except that Bruce is making Evan say gibberish against his own free will.
Free will is based in the mind. Bruce is only controlling Evan's body.
I think it could be argued either way. Bruce was controlling Evan physically (in addition to the gibberish he makes his voice higher), but Evan may still have had the free will to not open his mouth. We don't see the extent of Bruce's power though. Could he have forced Evan say something against his will? (i.e. something he would never say or believe). Since we don't see that, the correction seems more valid than the mistake.
Question: Is there supposed to be any significance to the elevator being out of order in the building Bruce is sent to?
Answer: Also, Bruce needed to learn a little humility.
God recognizes that Bruce is expecting things he hasn't earned and is attempting to teach him about the importance of hard work and earning things. Bruce has to climb the stairs (harder than taking the stairs) and God asks for his help mopping a very large floor (hard, but satisfying work).
Answer: It's just the idea that using the stairs is better for your health, so God forces him to use it.
Factual error: Even God could not arrange for everyone to win the lottery at the same time. Many people use their favourite numbers, and many syndicates play the same numbers every week. There is simply no way - God or no God - that every ticket could win, because there is no way that every lottery ticket could be the same. The tickets cannot have been magically altered - many people know the numbers they have played and would not think they have 'won'. Note that the protesters are complaining that they won the lottery but got back less than they paid for the tickets they purchased. That is only possible if everyone who bought a ticket won, as all lotteries pay out a percentage of the total amount of money taken in from ticket sales.
Suggested correction: Bruce could simply alter people's tickets and then alter their memories too. He wouldn't be affecting free will, since they still made the choice of what numbers to pick, Bruce just altered their memories to make them think they did something else. They're not protesting they got back less than they paid. They won $17 dollars each. I don't know how much a ticket costs in Buffalo, but I bet it's less than $17.
Suggested correction: Since Bruce was given God's powers and a lot of people were praying to win the lottery, he could have simply altered the numbers on their tickets.
Not only that, but one guy was complaining that he only won seventeen dollars.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce is going to do his first stint as anchor on the Monday 6:00 news, the control room is seen celebrating the Sabres winning the Stanley Cup. The news director says "The Sabres JUST won the Stanley Cup". When is the last time a Stanley Cup finals game ended at 6:00 PM on a Monday night?
Corrected entry: There was nowhere near enough change in the world to reflect all the answered prayers which supposedly took place. People may have prayed for dead relatives to come back to life, others might pray for the destruction of the entire world, some people may have prayed for it to rain candy bars, some people may have prayed for rain forests to grow in the middle of deserts. Someone may have prayed that a day takes longer, or that years were shorter. The fact is, the entire universe could have drastically changed if everybody's prayers were to truly be answered, but there's barely any visible effect at all.
Correction: This is too ridiculous of a statement to be a valid plot hole. Plus, people who actually believe in a benevolent God wouldn't pray for the entire world to be destroyed. And wishes aren't prayers so people who believe and pray to God with faith don't treat him as a genie to grant them ridiculous wishes, like raining candy bars. Prayer in the context of the film is specific, so inappropriate prayers, or prayers to Satan, non-Christian deities, or other beings wouldn't be "answered" by "God."
It's also possible that God kept an eye on things, and made sure to overrule some of the more dangerous prayer requests.
Correction: The rules are for Bruce, not God. But the free will thing could just be a limitation of God's powers, not a "rule". If I tell you that you can't lift a mountain, I'm not messing with your free will, just stating a fact. And/or just telling Bruce he can't tell anyone he's God isn't about free will, simply an "actions have consequences" thing. If he breaks the rules he'd lose his powers or similar. I mean all of us have free will, but if we exercise that in a harmful way then we go to jail or similar. That's not "messing with our free will", just natural limitations.
