Ever see a movie that is almost a direct parallel to your life?

(Spoiler alert for The Notebook if you haven’t seen it, don’t read unless you don’t care)

So I just got done watching The Notebook for the second time in my life. I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t cry becuase I did. The scarry thing is a lot of events in this movie has happend in my current break up without me even realizing it. One of the most powerful things I remember from the movie that was directly paralell to my situation was when Noah asked Allie if she loved Lon and she said she did and she loved him very much, and Noah said “We’ll that’s that, you can be with Lon and we can be friends.” That same situation, word for word exactly happend with me. It’s the scarriest thing.

Another scene where Allie was going back to Lon from Noah’s house, she kept saying things about Lon and Noah said “Would you stop caring about what he wants or what I want, what is it that you want? What do you want? What do you want? Oh my God What do you want!?” and Allie couldn’t give Noah an answer. Again, this almost exactly happend with me and my former girlfriend because at the start of our break up she would call me and her new boyfriend would get upset that she’d be talking to me and she said that being considerate to his feeling she probably would stop calling me. I just said to that “Would you stop caring what I want or what he wants, what do you want? What is it that you want? Just figure that out” and Brittany couldn’t give me an answer as well. It was the strangest thing.

In any case, I just needed to get that out. I was wondering also if anyone else has ever experienced something like this? I thought it was kinda weird and I was wondering if anyone else has had a powerful movie basically parallel events in their lives.

Not a movie but my life is similar to a television show, it’s called married with children and my life is similar to the main character’s, Al Bundy.

It’s always strange to see things that happen like that, not even just coincidences, just paralells. It’s really quite odd and intruiqing and I question whether or not these are patterns or not, you know?

I also have to mention that the letter Allie was reading from Noah in the car when she left Noah’s house was pretty much almost an exact carbon copy of the good bye letter that I sent my former girlfriend. Some things were different, but the message was still pretty much the same.

I wouldn’t say thats parallel to the movie, just the emotions. Its a love story(i love that movie by the way, i cried too), i’m sure that has happened to lots of people. I tell people all the time to stop worrying about other’s wants and feelings and figure out what they want.

Mama is correct if you ask me, i would say that the movie is on the same line as life, not the other way around.

that really is an interesting experience.

it has happened to me quite a bit, actually.
there are even times when i will have a dream, and then — months later, it will occur before me in real life.

it’s hard too, when you get confused just trying to tell the difference between what you have witnessed, and what has actually taken place in your life.

it’s very strange

anyone ever get that feeling like you know something bad is going to happen if you do something, and then you don’t do it because of that feeling? I do that alot, but then it leaves me wondering if anything would have happened, if i was just being paranoid, or if its some kind of sixth sense…

I know what you mean Hybrid. If I get the feeling that what I’m about to do isn’t the right thing, I hesitate, but at the same time I take the chance because I don’t want to wind up wondering what would have happend if I never took that chance.

i have, and i’ve also gone through spiritual healing in florida — as i recently went through a bit of bad times

and it changed my life.

not only are you effected by a previous emotion or sense, but you actually start to look at the world around you a little differently

and change is the only constant in life,

yet history tends to repeat itself.

so then, wouldn’t change only be anticipated up until a certain point, as things will occur similar to that of the past anyway?

similar is not the same, things change. and even if something repeats 1000 times, there will come a time when it doesn’t repeat anymore. change may take a minute or a millenia, but it will change.

Wow, we got WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off topic of this post really fast…

Does anyone here watch Lost?

Yes i know what your thinking, just another deranged fan, but there are actually things that are happening in my life involving certain numbers and certain things that make my life similar to the show. The big thing in my life though is that i am going to Belize and Guatamala next year on world challenge where there are all of those Mayan ruins and stuff like that. For some reason i keep having things to do with the Mayans popping up everywhere and not because i’m looking for them. Its like i’m being drawn to the place, like in Lost where they were drawn to the island. Whats more ive developed the ability to have precognitive dreams, these dream show future events (like desmond in Lost) and it is becmoing apparent that whatever i do nothing can stop these events happening (like in Lost). And ive always had interests in weird things like cryptzoology, ufology, time and the earths electromagnetic field. I don’t know how exactly i ended up being interested in these things but most of stuff like this is incorperated in the show.

Theres loads more stuff like that but i’m glad i’m not the only one who thinks they have some sort of parallel to a film or tv show…

Do anybody remember the movie ‘Starman’ with Jeff Bridges, Karen Allen… My all-time favorite
Movie, for some reason, I always felt like a “fish out of water “ an outside… over the years I have watched this movie countless times… I guess I’m still waiting for the mother ship to arrive…

But today the movie Hancock with Will Smith comes close to a direct parallel to your life… if you take out all the CGI and look at it as a tragic love story…

I used to watch Lost ob1canoB, and Hah when I was typing out your name I was saying it in my head. That’s pretty clever.

I wanted to see Hancock OK2BU I thought it looked like an all right movie. People kept telling me that it wasn’t as good as the hype. Strange you think it parallels my situation.. maybe I’ll watch it sometime.

Zoolander is EXACTLY like my life.

It’s full of walk-offs, hanging out with Billy Zane, and trying to thwart Mugatu’s plans to have me kill the Foreign Minister of Malaysia.

Oh, and having threesomes with Hansel and Matilda. Hot.

And, of course, helping out at the School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good (And Wanna Do Other Stuff Good, Too).

Because there’s more to life than being really good-looking. And someday, I’m gonna find out what it is.
