Living like you don't have a goal can be messy especially if everyone thinks you actually do not have one. THE LIFE LIST a movie by Adam's Brooks and Lori Nelson spielman touches on a lot of sensitive part about growth, family, relationships and fidelity.
Alex who does not have a typical daughter father relationship with her dad due to what she thinks she saw growing up was proved wrong that there are facts and there are also truth in everything.
Even if Alex never knew the man who raised her was not her biological father, I never really see any resemblance between them, am sorry but she does look more Hispanic and he does not at all.... umm i was still wondering how they managed to cast him until it was revealed that he is not her biological father,that's my opinion anyways.
Somtimes the best gift our parents could give us is to let us grow up on our own, Alex had the mindset of inheriting the cosmetic business her mother founded, but her mom ended up giving it to her daughter inlaw.. why? Because she felt Alex still needs to discover herself, what she loves doing, and her mom knew that from the start.
The relationship between Alex and her attorney was very much predictable for me, they had that free spirit to say whatever to each other even from the first day they meet which was during her mother's inheritance reading.
You must not be a biological parent to father or mother a child, Alex meet her biological father but that closure was never wanted by her biological father.
This movie gave me alot of insight about love, life and family. There are few questions that really needs to be asked by oneself when in a relationship, and this includes,
Is this person kind
Does this person brings out the best version of yourself
Can you tell him/her everything in your heart
Can you imagine this person being the Father/Mother of your kids.
I think alot of us can understand the importance of these questions.Alex was able to identify and tick out the boxes she had and she found her love even when it exceeded the time given to her. Love should not be rushed but carefully taken care of when found.
NO MATTER THE AGE YOU ARE, IT'S A REMINDER THAT YOUR GOALS IN LIFE CAN STILL BE ACHIEVED.
