"The powerful alcoholic and clumsy John Hancock is the most hated person in Los Angeles, as in spite of saving lives, he also destroys properties causing high cost to the city to fix his damages. When he saves the life of the PR Ray Embrey from a train, the executive feels in debt with Hancock and decides to change his image. He brings the anti-hero to have dinner at his home, and introduces him to his son and fan Aaron and to his wife, Mary. But Mary does not want Hancock in her life" - www.imdb.com


Interesting portray of the character "Hancock". I wonder if being immortal and powerful is the only way he could have helped peoples lives. Someone would say it was the better way. Cant we help each other even if we are not powerful?

Ray's character is quite admirable but Hancock had the difficult part. Ray helped him to understand the need to change but Hancock had to make the choice. It reminds me of how stubborn people are sometimes, making excuses about their flaws without making an effort to change.

"It's the choices we make that define our lives and not destiny" the answer given by Mary when asked if they are destined to be this way. Have you ever thought of living forever but not being able to be with the one person who your really attracted to? Interesting how the love between the two immortal beings makes them Human. Guess its right, when people love each other unselfishly they become more human.
