What God wants
Commentary
In 2000, Mel Gibson played a character named Nick Marshall in the movie What Women Want. Nick was an uncommonly insensitive man -- self-absorbed and boorish. After a freak accident with electricity, however, he was, for a brief time, able to hear what women around him were thinking. The experience was enlightening to him, for apart from his mystical enabling, he had no clue as to what women really wanted. Up to this point, all of his relationships with women had been handicapped as a result.
