Plot Synopsis:
“Red Eye” is an edge of your
seat must see thriller about a plot to assassinate the Homeland Security
Director. It involves a red eye flight to Miami where most of the
thriller takes place. It continues on the ground when the flight lands
in Miami moving the plot to the airport terminal, a hotel, and Lisa’s
childhood home!
Content Review:
It is rated PG-13 for violence
and brief language. It deals with issues such as customer service,
loyalty, patience, terrorism, perseverance, and love.
Spiritual Insights:
SPOILER ALERT
Lisa Reisert (played by Rachel
McAdams) is so patient when she is bumped into, ice is poured all over
her, and when customers create problems. Rather than seeing them as
problem customers she wants others to see them as customers with special
needs. When customers are upset she tries to calm them down!
It reminded me of the Fruit
of the Spirit.
“A man's wisdom
gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.”
(Proverbs 19:11, NIV)
“A
gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
(Proverbs 15:1, NIV)
"But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control." (Galatians 5:22-23, NIV)
When Lisa finds out that the
Homeland Security Director and his family is going to die, she does all
she can without giving up.
This reminded me of the Bible
verse on carrying one another’s burdens.
“Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of
Christ.” (Galatians 6:2, NIV)
Questions to Ponder: (Spoiler Alert)
-
What would you do if your
loved ones are threatened at the expense of someone else?
-
How would you react if
someone bumped into you or poured something over you by accident?
-
What does perseverance and
patience mean to you?
