This movie should be shown to all high school kids before they graduate


People nowadays are too afraid to try anything, even though their own lives are mostly uneventful and filled with unhappiness. Now I'm not saying you need to go and do something that may end up in you dying, but in general people lack motivation or are too afraid to take even minor risks in life. And then you have this guy Philippe who goes and lives his dream essentially, regardless of any obstacles in his way. Basically what I'm saying is you shouldn't live your whole life as a spectator, and end up an old man saying "has anything I've done made my life better?"
