Movies/Scenes Representing types of Adam/Eve

  • Tarzan (1999)
    • Tarzan and Jane. (See review at Hollywood Jesus)
  • The Matrix (1999)
    • As well as being rather like John the Baptist , Morpheus is also representative of everyman. He is one who knows that the world needs a saviour, and that he cannot save the world himself . "The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light". Morpheus in some way represents the whole human race , crying out for and believing in Neo. Eventually Neo has to make the choice to sacrifice himself in order to free Morpheus (the human race), as he cannot free himself . This raises the idea of looking at John the Baptist as an everyman figure also. (Anne Gordon)
  • The Truman Show (1998)
    • Truman as "True Man" in Paradise (See review at Hollywood Jesus.)
    • Entire story can be seen as a parallel to the Garden of Eden story. He "sins" in terms of "The Producers" (departs from the script) and leaves the controlled but perfect world to start on his journey in the unknown.
  • City of Angels (1998)
    • Maggie and Seth buy pears - Seth tastes life as a human and gives up his eternal life (see review at Hollywood Jesus)
  • Jerry Maguire (1996)
    • On a homily for marriage and in particular the subject of the Creation story in Geneis and Adam's nuptial song to Eve 'You are at last bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh.' The theme being that Adam found no satisfaction from any of creation but was complete in the creation of woman. In the movie Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise), is in love with an unmarried mother Renee Zellwegger and he is trying to explain his love for her. They meet a deaf couple in the elevator and they are signing. Zellegger can understand sign language and Cruise asks her what they said and they had signed You complete me an echo of the love sentiments of Adam to Eve. (Patrick Boyle)
  • Fearless (1993)
    • Max, an air crash survivor goes with an old girl friend to a pancake house and eats strawberries, which he is allergic to. He calls them the forbidden fruit. He goes on through most of the film acting as though he is invulnerable and able to save others (Remember the fruit in Eden would "make you like God.") Later the same fruit bring the experience of death. (Darrel Manson, Artesia Christian Church, Artesia, CA)
