The movie review :17 again
I happend to watch the movie '17 again' today. I didn't expect that I would get a lesson from it when I watched it.
It means I just watched that for fun. But it turned out that it made me think about my attitude towards life. People sometimes think that if they went back to a certain time such as 10s, 20s, 30, etc, they would behave differently then. I also thought that way. I regretted my choice which I thought was the best one I could do at the time and now I think I shouldn't have done that.
The character 'Mike' in the movie has also regretted the choice he made when he was 17, which he thinks made him worse.
With the help of a mysterious janitor, he went back into his past. He exprienced life as a teenager again, and finally got to realize that he was totally wrong.
From watching this movie, any choices I made could make me better or worse. But, what I want to say is that the choices you've made influence you in a good way.
Suddenly, it reminded me of Steven Jobs' commencement address at Stanford uinversity in 2005. I studied the script of it for listening skills. According to it, he said, "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever."
So from both the movie and Steven Jobs' speech, I got some lesson that we need to enjoy the present and do your best for the better future.
Thank you for reading :)
