Enough to base a movie on?

“…enough to base a movie on?”
If you’re life is a film, how do you sum up the thematic content?
Will there be American Beauties? Will the sleeper awake?
What themes run through your life?
Are the characters well drawn?
Do they have depth?
What problems and dilemas do they face? Are their trials and tribulations revisited? Over and over again?
Do they even know that they’re upon the stage?
Is yours a big part? Are you centre stage?
Would you watch? Or flick the channel?
“…enough to base a movie on?”

The program for this evening is not new,
You’ve seen this entertainment through and through
You’ve seen your birth, your life and death,
You might recall all of the rest –
Did you have a good world when you died,
Enough to base a movie on?

Jim Morrison
