Life or Something Like It (2002)

(3/5)

Destiny is what you make of it. What would you do if you were gonna die next week?

I liked the movie, it stresses upon living life to the fullest, thinking everyday could be our last day. Also don’t plan everyday of your life, leave some days unplanned, for yourself, to spend doing nothing. And again, work to live, not live to work!

Story: A reporter, Lanie Kerrigan (Jolie), interviews a psychic homeless man (Shalhoub) for a fluff piece about a football game's score. Instead, he tells her that her life has no meaning, and is going to end in just a few days, which sparks her to action, trying to change the pattern of her life...

Quotes: "Things happen, things u never see coming, and you think afterward, If I'd known this, would I have changed things? Would I have done more?"

"Have you ever heard the expression, a picture is worth a thousand words?
That's just for people like you who don't know a thousand words."

'If I was gonna die in a week, I'd try to live every moment. I would go to see the people that mean the most to me, and I would try and memorize their face. And I would say to them all the things that I wanted to say, but have always been too afraid to."

"Someone once said: Live everyday as if it were your last, because one of these days, it will be"
