Some Guy in Plesantville

 


Did you see the movie "Pleasantville?" 

How about "Free Guy?" 

Both are excellent movies with original storylines, brilliant writing, and thespian-like acting. 

One character is trapped in a black and white world and the other is trapped being a non-player character (NPC) in a video game.  Both realize something is wrong.  Both realize something is missing. Both struggle to find the answers. 

Both breakthrough to the other side of their respective worlds though. Both take risks.  Blow up comfort zones.  Break societal constraints. 

Life does imitate art and vice versa. 

In life, there are times when you need to breakthrough.  Take the road less traveled. Leave your comfort zone in the rearview mirror. 

Life is not planned out for us.  It's ad-libbed.  Live it the best way you can all the way through the closing credits and don't be afraid to go off-script. 

"It's not supposed to be like this."  "It's not supposed to be anything." 

"Life doesn't have to be something that just happens to us." 

And...scene. That's a take.
