Life as a movie

What would our lives look like if we could watch them in a movie?

This picture is from one of my favorite movies, Amelie, where she’s watching a movie in a theater and she looks behind her because she likes to watch other people watching a movie. My love for movies makes me wonder what our lives would look like if we could watch them as a movie. Movies are such a condensed, simplified, hyper emotional version of real life, so I can’t help but wonder what my life would look like in the form of a 2 hour long movie. What would I wear in different scenes, would my hair always be perfect, how would my relationships with others play out, how would my feelings and sensitivities for things fluctuate, how would other people feel watching me, etc…these are some of the questions that come to mind. Anyone else ever think of their lives like this?
