The movie called "Joe Versus the Volcano"
"Life is unpredictable. Be live at the moment and be value what you have now."
That is the feeling what I got when I watched that movie.
Why I watched movie is my tutor advised me to watch to improve my English skills. Besides, he know that I like "Tom Hanks" who is one of the most talented actors in USA.
Compared with today movies, technology is quite old and movie editing is not as good as modern movies.
However, Let me share about the movie.
In the movie, Joe works a lousy job which is a clerical job in a dreary factory for an unpleasant, demanding boss and ,one day, he gets a bad news about his disease called "Brain cloud" from his medical doctor. Doctor also tells him that he may live only for five or six months and advises him to go trip.
Then Joe quites his job and asks ex-coworker to date with him. One day later, one business man looks for him to hire for his business purpose. Upon signing of an agreement, Joe can spend money as much as he can until the day before he jumps into the volcano located on the tiny Pacific island of Waponi Woo. The residents believe that God guards their islands and they must please God by throwing a man into volcano every 100 years and ,now, 99 years 11 months and 11 days. The business man wants a mineral essential for manufacturing superconductors from that island and only one way he can get that mineral by exchanging a man who is going to jump into the volcano which residents need desperately.
The encouragement Joes gets from the business man is how he gonna die in useful way. The proverb the business man mentions in the movie is "Live like a king and die like a man".
Joe accepts the offer and starts his journey. Well! let me stop here because I would recommend to watch that movie and it would not be good if I told you what the ending part is.
I believe you will definitely get a useful and valuable thought after watching that movie. Maybe you would change your ordinary ideas about your life and the ways you see the people.
Ya. If you ask me how the movie changes my daily life, I will say "Life is unpredictable. Be live in the moment and be value what you have now".

The movie called "Joe Versus the Volcano"
"Life is unpredictable. Live in the moment and appreciate what you have now." That's the lesson I learned from watching that movie.I watched the movie because my tutor advised me to watch it to improve my English skills. Besides, he knows that I like "Tom Hanks," who, I think, is one of the most talented American actors.
Compared to the more recent films, the special effects were quite clumsy and the editing was not good as good.
At any rate, here are my thoughts on the movie.
In the movie, Joe has a lousy clerical job in a dreary factory. He works for an unpleasant, demanding boss. One day, he receives the bad news from his doctor that he has "Brain cloud." The doctor also tells him that he may only live for five or six more months, so he should go a trip.
So Joe quits his job and asks a former coworker to go out with him. The next day, a business man comes to hire him for an assignment. According to their agreement, Joe can spend as much money as he wants, until the day he jumps into the volcano located on the tiny Pacific island of Waponi Woo.
The residents of Waponi Woo believe that a God guards their island and they must please their God by sacrificing a man -- once every 100 years, someone must be thrown into the volcano. It's now, 99 years 11 months and 11 days since the last sacrifice. The business man wants a mineral essential for manufacturing superconductors from that island and the only way he can get that mineral is by convincing someone to jump into the volcano.
The business man points out to Joe that he'll die in a useful way. He quotes the saying, "Live like a king and die like a man."
Joe accepts the offer and starts his journey. Well! let me stop here because I want you to watch that movie and it would not be good if I tell you how it ends.
I believe you will definitely get some valuable insights and inspirations from watching this film. Perhaps it might change how you perceive your life or how you see the other people.
Yeah, if you ask me how the movie has changed my life, I'd say, it made me realize life is unpredictable, so I should live in the moment and appreciate what I have now.
