The movie that defines our lives

Everyone has a favorite movie. It’s not your favorite just because you like it or it made you laugh or there was someone really attractive in it. You’ll like it for more in-dept reasons. It struck a cord with you, pulled some emotional string, or defined your life. That movie for me is Definitely, Maybe. I don’t have the same life as Will HOBviously but I like to think there will be some similarities someday. I was shocked to hear when my friend Marilyn told me that she couldn’t even finish it. I’ve seen it at least ten times and it never gets old. Actually, I could compare it to fine wine -ages better with time. No.  This movie, believe it or not, has taught me many lessons about life, relationships, and how to live. That sounds kind of silly, but if you have a movie that is that dear and near to your heart then you know what I’m talking about.

If you don’t know what the movie is about – let me break it down for you.

Will Hayes [played by Ryan Reynolds] is an ambitious man who has always has his eye on politics. Throughout his life he has dated several women and one night his daughter Maya [Abigail Breslin] decides to listen to his life story to determine which one of his three girlfriends became his wife and ultimately Maya’s mother. It’s a very cute father-daughter interaction and a great romantic comedy. I would recommend it, but I’m assuming it’s going to either be a hit or miss. You will either like it or not finish.

So what movie defines your life? I really want to know.

    Its probably too early to tell, but I think High Fidelity is the front runner so far. I don’t own a record store, but I think there are a lot of similarities between our paths, and our personalities.
