Great Movie: Unknown White Male




Saw a great movie. A documentary from Netflix called Unknown White Male.


It is the story of a man who lost his memory at age 30 and how his life proceeds for the next couple of years from there.


There are some incredible demonstrations of just how much we live a story of our lives rather than just living our lives. The parts we are given, the parts we take on in the "play" take over.


What if we were to just lose the script and had to live each day as it came to us?


This movie comes as close to showing what that might be like as without having to experience it ourselves.


Or, if we're really into being present for each moment with what has been described as continued freshness of appreciation, perhaps it would be more accurate to say "able to experience it."


Certainly would pump some new life into our relationships.
