The sentences at the end ofthe movie may lead you to inspect your inner mind: “When you get those raremoments of clarity, those flashes when the universe makes sense, you trieddesperately to hold on to them. They are the life boats for the darker timeswhen the vastness of all, the incomprehensible nature of life is completelyillusive. So the question becomes, or should be all along. What would you do ifyou know you only have one day or one week, or one month to live? What lifeboat would you grab onto? What secret would you tell? What person would youdeclare your love to? What wish would you fulfill? What exotic locate would youfly to for a coffee? What book would you write?”
