The Adjustment Bureau

There comes a time in a man's life where he has to make a decision. A decision on what he wants his life to be like, and what he needs his life to be like; what happens if you could have both because you were able to push the envelope on what the world thinks your ought to be and what you know you can be. If you feel it darlings, then it must be true. Don't live a lie; fight for what you believe in. Always…

The Adjustment Bureau, written and directed by George Nolfi, was another 2011 film I'm proud of saying I managed to snag seeing before the year is over; and glad I am. It starred Matt Damon who plays young New York senator David Norris and the lovely English Emily Blunt who plays the graceful dancer Elise. The 2 meet by chance, or maybe not at all and from that first glance, that first smile, their lives both changed forever. Despite all that tried to keep them apart, and all David Norris tried to do to forget her; he just couldn't. They both always yearned for each other, and so over the many months and years, they find each other again. As they say, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be, what you feel is no coincidence. What's real and true, will always be true and real J and with the aid of one of the fine men of The Adjustment Bureau, Harry Mitchell, played by Anthony Mackie, their dreams were able to become reality, despite all the odds against them.

Just my type of movie; action, adventure, a chase, an escape, a dab of romance, and excellent storyline that actually was thought-provoking and possible. The acting was first-rate, the cinematography striking and empowering and enthralling soundtrack.

All in all; I believe the film's message is that if you want something, you have to do all you can to make it happen. If you've done all you can already, then you just have to take a step back and believe it to manifest. You see, in life you can achieve many great things, but without love what really is the point of it all? When love finds you, hold on to it; and if it leaves you, then let it go. For true love finds you, annoys you, pushes you, yearns for you always, and if you let it go; then you don't deserve it. Both people have to take that risk to make it last forever…
