Life Is A Movie

Life is an action movie. Too many "lights, cameras, and ACTION!" Life moves when you move. Life goes on, even when you don't. Life is a drama movie, over reactions, crying, whining, triumphs, and let downs. Death, And mourning. Life is a comedy. A joke on you and me. Laughter after tradgedy and giggles between Trips and falls. Life is a horror movie. Evil thoughts and visions that produce nightmares and paranoia. Life is a documentary. About yesterday, today, and tomorrow's journeys. Narrated by somebody, nobody, and everybody. Life is a movie, about action, drama, comedy, and horror. Narrated by those who live it.

That is somewhat like Shakespeare's "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely actors". I can't quote the rest of it accurately but it goes on to say something like "they all have their entrances and exits and in one lifetime will play many parts". It's funny but when my oldest son was a mere 4 years old he said to me "Mommy I think this is just one great big long movie and we're all in it". An excellent way to view life for sure.

Very well said. Some things we can control in the movie of life and some we cannot. We just have to go on with life and do the best we can. Live and learn. Take it day by day.

Yes. That's all we can do. Sometimes, we can be the directer, and yell "CUT!" That's the fun part of life.

It's so true, we are sort of dictators, dictating our life. We have the full freedom of decision making with multiple choices left for us. If one is not careful his or her decision making, life is spoiled. Some small mistakes we commit may daunt us forever.

So true. Sometimes, we aren't carefull enough. Other times, we are too careful. Meaning, we don't take chances, and miss out on things.

Nice words! Thanks for sharing. I think we should take a role in life, and bear all risks.

Yes, life is like a movie because after all, I do believe that movies are a reflection of what is happening in this world interpreted in an elaborate or subtle way. That is why we are drawn to some scenarios in the movies because we can relate to it. Is it action? hmm some so have a life like that and others even have a tragic genre. But I believe that unlike the movies were it stick to only a few genre, life's genre evolves constantly. It is so dynamic that we never get bored living our lives.
