Wait Till You're Older

When you read this post's title, maybe you're remember a film of Andy Lau with the same title. I've watched this film a couple of time and also the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. If you have ever watched these two movies, you will see an opposite view of life. The first movie tells a story about growing up rapidly, while the second one tells the case where the life is moving backward. However, if we take a while of our time to think about these movies, what is the meaning behind them? I think, both of the movies want to tell us about one thing. It is about time. Both tells us that our life is only once and it is a one way ticket, there is no turning point. For me, the first movie, although it is a fiction, tells us not to speed up our life to become older. For every step in our life, from baby till died, there is something that we have to experience. There is no use to speed up our life span, since it is already limited. The time will not come back and you will be regretful to not having as much time as others, to reconcile or do something important. The second movie tells about life a live in a backward way. For me, this one also tells about time that will not come back. Although you experiencing a backward life cycle, it does not mean that you can do as you like. at the end, you will face and reach the finish line. The ending of the film shows one similarity as well. Both shows efforts to reconcile with people around them before the main characters die. this can also means preparing for the death. So, here is the question: What will you do to make you ready in facing death? Will you regret what you've done?
