Life or something like it

Having got nowhere to go today as i am not able to function like a normal healthy human being, i decided to watch movies on HBO and Star Movies. Couldn't do anything much so i lay down on the couch for almost the whole, watching movies. Then there was this movie titled 'Life or Something like it', starring Angelina Jolie, Edward Burns and Tony Shalhoub. It was quite an interesting piece of story. A homeless prophet/psychotic lunatic(acted by Tony Shalhoub) tells Jolie she's gonna die in a week and she spends her life(within the week of course) trying to find the meaning in her self-serving, career-driven life. Well, of course she didn't believe the guy initially. But after a few predictions from the so-called prophet(like predicting the score of a football game and the weather), she finally realised that it might turned out to be true. Reality sets in and although she didn't turn out to be paranoid and all that but she realised that there is more to life than just be successful, famous and perfect. Sometimes we need to know the meaning of living. I think the story is quite an eye opener(not that much la). It made me think about my life. It made me think about things that i've done, things that i'm doing and things that i want to do. This movie may not be in the class of 'Sleepless in Seattle' or 'The Green Mile' but it sure does make you come to a realisation about something.
