Holy Man Essay

In the movie Holy Man there is multiple messages being carried across. One of those messages is love. The main character, Ricky, learns this message throughout the movie. Through love he learns that the way he is living is wrong. He is living the life of deception because that is basically the business he's in. he works in the advertisement industry and at some point in the movie his boss tells him that his job is take make people want something when they realistically don't need it at all. But we can't completely disown his boss because his boss did make him work with Kate, who eh eventually ends up falling madly in love with. And if he was not working with Kate then the two of them wouldn't have gotten stranded at the side of the road together where they met G. Kate and G impacted Ricky's life in so many ways it would take much to long to name them all off. G loved both Kate and Ricky very much. He would sacrifice his happiness to make them happy which is displayed when he tells Ricky that if Ricky wants him to sign a contract then he will. This inevitably shows Ricky that his job is not more important then an actual human being. That is when he learned that putting others before yourself is the right thing to do and you should never think twice about doing it. This also tied in with Kate because instead of just letting her opinions, wants, and advice go in one ear and out the other, Ricky listened to her and what she was saying really effected him. What is important is life is displayed to him. All that matters in life is happiness and love. Everything else is secondary.
