If Your Life Was Made into a Movie

Post by CommMayo »

If your life was made into a movie, what would it be called? What genre would it be and would people actually go to see it?

I've long thought that my life would make an interesting book, but a movie would work, too!

Mine would undoubtedly be a drama and I think people would watch it, as it has romance, sex, drugs, abuse (mental and physical), heartbreak, survival, and pretty much everything people go to the movies to see; all it's missing is a superhero, *lol*. While it hasn't been great to live parts of my life, I have no doubt it'd be great to witness on the screen.

What actress would you pick to play you?

If my life was made into a movie, it would either be a really crude horror movie or a really crude Hallmark movie. I would definitely say absolutely not to people going to see it.

If my life were to be a movie, it would be an inspirational/faith movie. I've been through a lot in life and it's my faith in God that has kept me going.

I'd love Julia Roberts to play me because she is my favorite actress.

@DATo

Now there's a movie made for me
and one I'd surely go to see,
if you seek another player,
can I be your Dulcinea?
So now, before my nerve starts wilting
let's get busy windmill tilting!

And I know there's an obvious movie for me - WOOF!!!

You're a fan of Don Quixote movies and books in literature. ^_^ I had laughed and cried on his stories.

If my life were a movie, it would probably be under the Faith category, as the major defining moments of my life stemmed from the conflicts I faced relating to religion. Then there would be random family moments sprinkled throughout. 💟 I would see my own movie, does that count? My siblings are hilarious so I wouldn't miss it...plus, it's inspiring to see one grow as a result of the trials placed in their life. I would name my movie, "Grace Unveiled."

I don't think anyone would want to see a movie of my life, maybe just the naughty bits, or the bullying bits for drama.. but it would make quite a sad and intense book tho.

If my life was made in a movie it would be a serious comedy, the way I tried hard to sweet talk ladies and I couldn't win even one. The funny steps I used to approach them and they get pissed off. Hahaa!

My Life to make for a Movie? Maybe the Title would be, " When Whiners Win? To be acted by Leonardo De Carpio. Because Leonardo is a known actor for a true to life story movie. Why watch it? Because when I saw myself being down and whining, the only thing I have done to reverse all negative in my life is turning to God. Nothing more.
