Morgan Freeman returns in Feast of Love as a wise counselor of the troubled and heartsick. Apart from his great films, of which there are many, this is almost his standard role, although he also seems to spend a lot of time playing God. Most of his insights seem not merely handed down the mountain, but arriving as a successful forward pass. At the beginning of the film, he gives us the ground rules: They say that when the Greek gods were bored, they invented humans. Still bored, they invented love. That wasn t boring, so they tried it themselves. And then they invented laughter so they could stand it.
