I found this movie to be very powerful and moving. However more than any ohterm movie, this movie is very debatable and leaves the viewer with many questions. I agree with previous blogs that comparing Jack to Jesus Christ was unfair and wrong. Granted there are some similarities between the two. However its not fair to compare any man to Jesus. Jack did sacrfice hiimself in order to help other people. However some of his actions were done only for hiimself. For example he wanted to know how he died, and he wanted to be with Jackie. Christ on the other hands had no motives other than to help mankind.
The movie was very ambigious and left the viewer with many questions. My biggest question is whether or not Jack was still alive at the end of the movie. He was in the jacket and tomb, and then he was in 2007 again. However in 1993 he was going to die in the jacket. So was he in turn going to die in 2007? This is debatable, but i believe so. I think the light was coming to take him into the next life. However he could do so because he had finally done what he needed to, which was saving Jackie's mom, and in turn making Jackie happy. (interestingly enough, in the begining of the movie, Jack is trying to save an Iraqi child, and in the end he does save a child). So my question is, does Jack die at the end of the movie?
