PW#5 About time

This is a film about a boy navigating through life, until he finds out that he can travel through time. What a marvelous thing to have right? Or so we thought. This ability consists of going back through time, wherever or whenever he wants, except there is catch, what you do can alter the future. Allegedly this sounds great. For example, you had a bad grade? You can go back and modify it. You said something foolish? You can go back and say something different. You have any regrets? You can change it. Even living a moment again. How great is that? Yet this becomes troubling for our main character, as he realizes the secret in life. Well truly, as this movie is quite literally about time, it’s all about enjoying life fleeting moments. So, the secret is actually living life. Every single moment, good or bad, and enjoying every second as it passes, seeing the beauty in it.  This teaches our main characters perspective in life, as he learns that in reality it’s not about what happens, but how you approach it. At the end of the day, you are the one living your life, no one else, wich leaves it entirely up to you how you live it. For me, this was more than a movie, but a life lesson, reminding me how to live my life. For weeks I charged myself with paying attention to details, always finding great moments with my day. It changed everything for me, and for that I am truly grateful, so now I try to enjoy my life and live it to the fullest.
