True love overcomes fate

Kristina 2022-04-22 07:01:05

David Norris (Matt Damon), a promising New York State Senate candidate, loses when the newspaper exposes a photo of him beating someone in a bar. Before his defeat speech, David ran into the extraordinary Elise Silas (Emily Blunt) in the bathroom. She ate and drank at the wedding upstairs and hid in the men's bathroom to escape security. The two fell in love at first sight.
Because Harry (Anthony Mackie) didn't get David's coffee in time, the two meet again on the bus, and Elise, a ballet dancer, gets off after leaving her phone number. When David came to the company, all the staff were frozen. He found that several men in black were surrounding Charles, the chairman of his campaign committee. It turns out that including Harry, they belong to the Planning Bureau of Fate, can change people's minds, and wear hats to go through a door to another place. They were ordered by the chairman to keep David "on the plan" and prevent him from meeting Elise again. They burned the scraps of paper Elise had left on the phone, telling David that if he revealed their existence, they would reboot him. Rebooting means clearing your brain, your emotions, your memories, your whole personality, you can't think about anything.
Every day David takes the bus at the same time expecting to meet Elise. The two met three years later and they fell in love. The Fate Planning Bureau discovered that the two were together because they were meant to be together in an earlier version of the bureau's plan, and now the fallout from that old plan has pushed them together. The Destiny Bureau dispatched Thompson. Thompson finds David and tells him that according to the plan he will win five consecutive elections and become the President of the United States, and that Elise will become the world's top dance artist. If the two are together, he can't be the president, she can only teach kindergarten children to dance all the time. As soon as Thompson looked up, Elise fell on the stage. Thompson told David that it was just a sprain this time, and that next time he won't be so lucky. David left Elise.
Eleven months later, David, who was ahead of his rivals by a wide margin, read in the newspapers that Elise and her previously engaged ex-boyfriend were getting married. David knew he needed Elise more than he was president. With Harry's help, David rushed to the church using Harry's hat, and then went to the headquarters of the Destiny Planning Bureau with Elise to find the chairman, and was surrounded by people from the Destiny Planning Bureau on the rooftop. The two kissed affectionately, and the people from the Destiny Planning Bureau disappeared. Harry showed up and told the two of them that they were going to do anything to be together. The chairman was so shocked that the chairman rewrote the plan for them, and the new plan brought the two together.
The two walked happily on the street.
"My shoes. You know shiny leather shoes often remind us of high-paid lawyers and bankers, and if you want to get a worker's vote, you need to wear the uppers a little, but not too much, with lawyers and banks The home doesn't fit in. Because you need them to pay for the Turnerfred experts. So what's the best wear level? We paid $7,300 for a consultant to tell us. That's that perfect wear level."
"We're sure of things. The one who goes according to plan."
"Your feelings don't matter, it matters the plan in black and white."
"For the first time in 25 years I feel like I'm not alone."
"You don't have free will, you only have the appearance of free will. "
We don't act. People who take risks rashly don't rise to my level. Report the case to someone who has enough authority to easily clean up the mess."
"The president can't be a homeless bum."
"I choose her, no matter what ." Any obstacle."
"The chairman has a plan, we see only part of it."
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, even if it's just for a little while."
"Recognize that free will is a gift from God. People, you only know how to use it after fighting hard. I think this is the chairman's real plan. Maybe one day, the plan will not be written by us, but by you."
A love blockbuster under the packaging of science fiction, true love overcomes fate.
When Elise first appeared, she had a bit of Carina Lau feeling.
The film is based on the short story "Adjustment Team" by Philip K. Dick.

The Adjustment Bureau quotes

  • Harry Mitchell: [talks to David] You're going to look for her, aren't you? You won't find her. They'll make sure of it. Even if they weren't trying to stop you, there are nine million people in this city. You'll never find her. Forget about her. Move on with your life.

  • David Norris: What ever happened to Free Will?

    Thompson: We actually tried Free Will before. After taking you from hunting and gathering to the height of the Roman Empire we stepped back to see how you'd do on your own. You gave us the Dark Ages for five centuries... until finally we decided we should come back in. The Chairman thought maybe we just needed to do a better job of teaching you how to ride a bike before taking the training wheels off again. So we gave you the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Scientific Revolution. For six hundred years we taught you to control your impulses with reason, then in 1910 we stepped back. Within fifty years, you'd brought us World War I, the Depression, Fascism, the Holocaust and capped it off by bringing the entire planet to the brink of destruction in the Cuban Missile Crisis. At that point a decision was taken to step back in again before you did something that even we couldn't fix. You don't have free will, David. You have the appearance of free will.
