Over Spring Break I saw the new Matt Damon movie “The Adjustment Bureau.” It is not his best work, but honestly not bad. In writing this I will try not to give anything away, but it is an interesting movie to look at with the decisions that we as humans have and the free will that we have.
If you are unfamiliar with the movie, it is a story about how this bureau adjusts people’s lives so that they can get certain things done. The simplest thing like spilling coffee at a certain time can delay someone’s day just enough for them to get what they need to get done. They all have books that shows the path that one should be taking and shows when they diverge from the path.
Matt Damon’s character, David Norris, meets a girl who he was only supposed to meet once, but falls in love. From then on he is trying to be with her, but forces beyond his control are not letting him. Again, I do not want to give anything away, but it goes back to humans not realizing their own freedom. He thought he had this freedom and now has to fight this bureau for what he wants in his own life.
Again, it was not Matt Damon’s best work but not a bad movie to see!
