Eric Morgan--The Jacket

First off the Jacket was a great movie, whenever time travel is put into a story it immediately hooks me in because of its impossible and completely compelling nature. Whenever I watch a movie with that in it I begin to think of many ways in which I would change my own life and what I would do to make it better. I feel like this is a completely common thing among most viewers. Inside the aspect of time travel what I liked most about the movie was the eventual motive behind his travel, which ended up basically playing god. I'm not saying that it is a good thing to play god and try to control the world, but what I meant is that he tried to make the world a better place for the one that he loved. He went into the future to basically gain knowledge in order to figure out to change everything bad in the lives of the people who he was closest to. Although in the end he seemingly didn't have to die but when comparing it to the gospel of Jesus what is apparent is that he had to sacrifice for the one that he loved; in Jesus' case, everybody and in his cases simply the woman. It was a great movie and I will definitely watch it again.
