Don’t Chase The Future - Issue 55 - 2nd April 2023
I recently watched the movie Click, a film that surrounds Michael Newman (Adam Sandler), who becomes increasingly frustrated with the world. He works extremely hard as an architect, so much so that he neglects his wife and children. He argues that once he’s promoted, he’ll be able to delegate work to his employees and therefore have more time for his family. He then stumbles across a warehouse to the rear of the Bed Bath & Beyond store, in which Morty (Christopher Walken) works. Morty gifts Michael a universal remote control that allows him to fast forward, rewind, pause and skip parts of his life. Morty warns Michael against skipping forward through parts of his life with a useful metaphor.
