Product Description
Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller The Adjustment Bureau as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he’s ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York.
On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt)—a woman like none he’s ever known. But just as he realizes he’s falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart.
David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself—the men of The Adjustment Bureau—who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path…or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her.
The Adjustment Bureau is written for the screen and directed by George Nolfi (writer of Ocean’s Twelve, co-writer of The Bourne Ultimatum). It is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (Total Recall, Minority Report and Blade Runner).

--------Spoiler Alert-------
At the end of this film the people in the movie get to be together. They get to keep their youth, -- BUT in real life, by the time your fight for everything you care about, should you win, (if you win,) you WILL not necessarily get to keep your youth like actors in a film!
So far, it seems like you could fight your whole life -- loose everything you care about, including your health -- and no matter how hard you pray to "the Chairman"/God ... you can still end up left with nothing (and so much older than when you started).
There are no men with hats to beseech! (I wish there were.) There is no one to reason with. *And, Even WORSE: *NO* ONE WILL BELIEVE YOU.
By the time this film ended -- I was crying my eyes out. (I don't know if this is happening to other people) -- But, it IS happening to me. AND the real life version of this is a NIGHTMARE(!) Pray that it does not happen to you. (and please pray for me.)
TO whomever may read this, I hope it does not happen to you. The reality will break heart, and RIP your spirit apart.
And from what I've noticed as well 'the Universe' will do everything possible TO SHUT YOU UP.
[You're allowed to suffer in silence for years, but from everything I've learned so far everything possible will be done to keep you from explaining it to anyone. No one will believe you].
The [film’s] question of “whether we have free will?” and/or “how much?” — is *VALID and worth asking.

C'est aussi une réflexion sur le CHOIX, LES choix que nous faisons (ou croyons faire) tous les jours, et qui nous engagent à plus ou moins long terme. Choix de Vie, de Fonctionnement, de partenaire Amoureux (donc!), et surtout les conséquences de ces choix (le fameux effet Domino) que nous sommes censés assumer en adulte responsable.
Pour rester dans l'esprit du film, Croyant ou pas, quelle est est réellement notre marge de manoeuvre, entre Hasard, Fatum et Libre-Arbitre ??
C'est d'ailleurs intéressant que le personnage de Matt Damon se prénomme David, illustre figure biblique, qui a lutté contre Goliath, le géant invicible, et l'a vaincu, contre toute attente...
Maintenant, pour revenir au film, chacun peut discuter du traitement de l'affaire, scénario, mise en scène, interprétation; soit dit en passant, interprétation d'une grande subtilité... De mon point de vue, le film aurait gagné à être plus âpre et plus sensuel, mais ce devait rester un film grand public?! Pour ma part, tel quel, j'ai adoré!
Mais redescendons sur Terre et apprécions le spectacle: Matt Damon, déterminé, cavale beaucoup, un reste de condition physique de "Jason Bourne"(!) sans doute, mais reste très crédible et, ma foi, très séduisant en jeune politique en devenir.
Il forme un couple touchant avec la très 'plastique' et tout aussi charmante Emily Blunt, danseuse prometteuse un peu délurée! Emily, quoiqu'en partie doublée, a bien travaillé: les scènes de ballet contemporain sont magnifiques! Leurs scènes communes, toutes très réussies, témoignent d'une alchimie incontestable et sont le meilleur du film, à mon humble avis!
Ne ratez pas la scène de la 1ère rencontre au tout début du film... C'est très émouvant de les voir tous deux si émus et surpris par ce coup de foudre inattendu et plus encore, émerveillés et terrifiés de se reconnaître deux âmes soeurs... Notre rêve à tous, si?
L'AMOUR EST LA solution !! Alléluia!!
