For Love

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2011)

The Adjustment Bureau is the new "Matrix", it makes it think over again: Is there any chance our life actually run like this?
In "Matrix", you wonder if you are just dreaming about your life while you are just lying in a wet battery cell for your life.
In Adjustment Bureau, we do not have "Free Will", we don't make important decisions, what we could decide is what we drink at lunch, but that's all.
When it come to love, David Norris (Matt) fall in love in the first sight for Elise (Emily). For some reason, he lost her number while she give him on bus, well... he have to.
A mysterious group of people "intervenue" David and force him to give up Emily, that if he tried to approach her again, they will "reset" him. Later he found out that the reason is becoz the "chairman" got better plans for both of them. David is going to be President of US and Emily become a great dancer over the world.
Now David have to make him choice, to love? Or to the greater good of himself.
In real life, from time to time, we got to make choices like this, one way or another, that might change things the rest of our life. How do we choose?
I believe people who like this film are more passionate, they know love is worth fighting for, and it's more important than anything in the world. They see a great love story, presented in a sci-fi way.
HOWEVER, such concept could be tricky and it's not easy to present it visually, although the idea of this film is excellent, I do agree with some people that the presentation could be improved, it's a commercial film after all.
