Carpe diem

I know there aren't a thousand readers of my blog out there, but for the few that do read I'm curious of your opinion on this short movie. Me and some friends have watched it and cannot determine if the meaning is simply if you’re sitting around in sorrow that you might miss your "moment" or opportunity. Or maybe the meaning is that if your patient enough and never give up hope than your dream might be fulfilled. So what do you think? Cease the moment? Or don't tamper with our own life's courses and be rewarded by patience? Be amazed that this whole short film was produced in a competition where the film makers only had 24 hours to produce their entries. Quite impressive.

  1. So the guy saw his girlfriend was coming and got on the plane anyway, huh?

  2. I don't believe he saw his girlfriend coming... I thought the last time he looked, he saw where the girls boarding pass was.

  3. What I get from it is maybe it's best not to know your future. You shouldn't make decisions based on what you know will happen. That's the "safe" way but won't necessarily give you the best results. If he hadn't seen the future, he probably still would have been sitting there when his girlfriend came. He may have taken her back or may have decided he didn't want to be with her. At least he would have had closure (and made the decision himself). Instead he followed the other girl who probably thinks he's a weirdo stalker because he knew where her boarding pass was. :)

    Anyway, that's my take on it. Best to live your life each moment instead of trying to plan your whole future.
