i have always believed in fate or destiny, that there is a predetermined, divine force at work. the movie, 'the adjustment bureau' plays with the idea that a higher power called "the chairman" creates a "plan" for each person, and it is the job of the bureau to carry out that plan. matt damon's character, david, accidentally catches a glimpse of the inside operation of the bureau and is then faced with a choice: follow the path laid out for him or fight for what he knows as free will, all in the name of love.
it is almost a mystical notion, but one that leaves you thinking long after you've left the theater. what do we know of the decisions we make? are they all part of an elaborate design written in ink? if we start to stray off course, are there "adjustments" that are made to steer us back in the right direction? what would we risk, what lengths would we go to, if we had a chance to stare fate in the face and didn't like what we saw?
these are probably questions i will never know the answers too, but are intriguing nonetheless.
hmm interesting..i wanna see it now
