One of the books that I read this semester was called the Four Loves written by C. S. Lewis. I thought that a lot of what Lewis had written about related a lot to religion as well as films. One such thing he discusses is how people are chosen to be with each other by God. For example, friends do not just become friends through chance but rather through God’s will. This statement reminded me of the film Serendipity. In the film, two people meet by “chance” and because the girl wants to know if it’s meant to be, she writes her phone number on the back of a dollar bill and he writes his in a book. Through out the rest of the film, the two keep missing possible chances of seeing each other but in the end, he finds the book and she finds the dollar bill. The film illustrates how if it’s meant to be then it will happen. I thought the film was really cute and it just made me realize that maybe God does have control over who is in our life. I thought it was interesting how Lewis put the idea forward that we don’t just meet people by chance. I never even really considered that maybe I was destined to meet my friends before reading his book. It really makes you have a different viewpoint on life when God is considered.
