Great film! I like it very much!

And question is difficult...even rhetorical... I think we miss chances fortune give us because we are afraid. We just can't believe that miracles happen. Even not miracles... If something amazing happened it means that we had attracted it in our life. And of course we had deserved it and are worthy of this «miracle». But unfortunetly we forget about it. We used to believe that happines is something we must try to earn, but it's false. The one thing we have to do is to let ourselves be happy. That's enough. 

And for seizing the opportunities life offers we have to be attentive and conscious. We shouldn't live by the autopilot. Then everything will come around 

I started to watch the whole movie when I finished with the episode. And I'm grateful to you Marat. People used to live the life they have. They stopped to notice the most important opportunities for good changes.

We are born to be happy, and we have everything for it. We just need to do it. Most of us don't. And the reason is obvious we are inattentive. «What a wonderful world» is a line from OST to this movie. This short expression is such meaningful. Refuse the routine, be open to every thing's going on around you, love!That is the way!

Thank you Marat for making us think about such easy but such important things. In English =))

To: Tatiana

Thank you for your kind words, they inspire me to go on preparing these videolessons!

It's a very touching moment, such views, such actors! The question seems so easy but it is very difficult to answer it.

Today, people are afraid to talk about their real feelings. All the time we think that have plenty of it to do or say something important not today but  tomorrow, here's the problem. We do not appreciate the time that we released and live ashamed of ourselves, our feelings, and actions. We're loosing our chance to be happy. Wee should be attentive to the surrounding-maybe happy and love near to you but not beyond the borders.

Нello!

I think, people often do something according to their habits. It's very difficult to begin changing of your life. You don't know, what happens at the end. So, it's easier to change nothing. You always go the same roads, meet the same people. You know, it's safely for you. No danger, no stress, life is beautiful! But in this way, you risk to lose something really important to you.It may be meeting, or new job, or something nice for you — it doesn't matter. Sometimes you need to change your habits and don't be  afraid of consequences of your actions.

Questions becoming more difficult and philosophical. But I like it

In truth, I asked this question to myself. I didn't find the courage to do something too in my life and then I regretted on this occasion.

I suppose that the point is that people live in the  past or in the future and rarely in this moment, but just it matters. It will go away and never happen again. That why we should try to live here and now.

Also I believe that destiny give us the second chance and if you let slip the first chance, then get ready to second and at this time don't be  afraid , seize the opportunity! Remember that success favors the bold!

And again my answer to your question is fear. We are afraid to embrace the unexpected, becuase it may bring drastic changes into our lives. Changes make us think, do, strain ourselves, exceed our limits. And unconsciously we know that new things can be harmful and bring us pain. So our mind wants us to avoid every unconvenience and if we don't control our subconsciousness which is really difficult, it controls us. And make us take the decisions it wants, not us. Finally we have a great heap of unachieved goals, unquenched desires, unrealised plans and so on.

I didn't want to sound pessimistic.  

Lets be curious about life and accept the possibilities it offers!)))

Meet Joe Black is one more nor bad movie with two good actors — i men sir Anthony Hopkins and Bred Pitt -  in leading roles who can be watched endlessly.  what is this movie about? i actually don't know. it doesn't emotionalize me, it's just not bad and nice to watch.

Young men think — all life is ahead, I will have many possibilities. They don't hasten to use the possibility, which life gives them. In this episode shyness became the reason of misunderstanding. The girl and the young man can't express feeling before another's people. They are closed and they can not read  another's emotions. People should listen to their heart, it already knows — whom you will be and what will occur to you. Steve Jobs was right. It is the best way not to miss chance.

I am agree the life offers us a lot of opprtunities on our way indeed.Sometimes we opened to people and we want to proceed ours acquaintance.Sometimes we shutdown.I think if you met really like person you would want to find the courage in yourself and to start a relationship immediatly in spite of your shyness.Otherwise you miss the chance for ever.We should remember the chance will not give twice , we have to believe our heart and listen to it more attentively.

A good movie. Why do we miss the chance? I support the sentence: everything that is not yours, leave. And all that is yours. will remain with you, will come to you.

I think that if something has gone out of life, then it was not for you, life is better to know what YOU need for your personal happiness. And you can only guess about something.

I watched this movie plenty years ago, but it seemed too boring, so droped off to sleep 

Of course, this film is romantic, and it's more similar to fairytale than to real life, but in life we often face these situations.

I think society has responsibility for this. Because we are afraid of many many many things, especailly in relationships, even when it should seem impossible.

Luckily for us, we have cure for that disease — we simply should be bolder.

Nice episode! Unfortunatelly, it often happens, that we do not allow ourselves to be sincere, then a dissapointment remains. I am sure,  a chance is rarely given only once. It is like lesson and control work- you have the aim, you study how to get it, suddenly comes the possibility to reach the goal. If you're ready and have  necessary skills and knowledge, then you will use the chance. If you do not see the possibility, or you don't dare,  it means — you are not ready for this step- then go and  continue studing...Another chance will be given later, another test, but  a little differently...

But what to do, in order not to miss- is not to follow standard templates, to be able to take the risk and listen to  inner master- a heart.

We realy often  miss the chances that come our way becouse we are lazy, shy we are affraid of new situations that can happen, we got used to our way of life and we do,nt want to change anything. People also think they have enough time befor, but it goes so quickly.

Good day.

An interesting film, you begin to think about some things ...

On the question: I think many (including myself) are often afraid to show their feelings, emotion, stranger. They are afraid of being rejected, not understood. And in consequence miss his chance. We do not think that can not be another chance. On the contrary, we hope that there will be a good time to be the best circumstances.

We must fight this «shyness» and be more daring, reckless somewhere. But try not to lose his head.

Thanks for this episode. I've watched this film recently as well. I liked it very much. And yes, i was also sad about that situation first of all. I can guess why Suzan acts so...maybe because she's already in relationship. But the question is right, we miss opportunities to meet someone we really want or to do something we really need. Why so? that is just life. Maybe, people are afraid to be more open for others, or they are afraid of changes in their life.

People make mistakes because they are not extrasenses. We do not know the future, what will happen tomorrow, in a moment. But in all of us live in hope and fear. We are afraid ofbeing rejected and misunderstood. We hope that we are still lucky enough to be the best way to do something...

Nowadays people are very often «economical with the truth» especially  when speaking about their real feelings. Hard to say whether it is the influence of our rational, unemotional view on everything in the world including love or it's' any other reason. But unfortunately people do not take seriously the opportunity, the chance that life (or our fortune) offers us.

So why not change this bad habit of ignoring unexpected bounty gifts of fate, of missing the oopportunity or chance which could be the only one in our life and why not thank our lucky stars!

Because people too shy when they just met each other, they are scared to be open for others!!! It will be always!!! That's why we miss chances in our real life. But in this episode they said that they like each other and if we compare this with real life, I don't know why he didn't ask her to go out.

Oh! We always are afraid of new relationships. We are afraid of fail, of disappointment. But it's so sad! Better to do, than not to do! We have to be stronger, we have to be men of decision. We don't have to be afraid to be refused. It's so important to do the first step to another people. But if anyone don't do that, people won't communicate at all.

We often miss chances because we don't hear your heart. Many things prevent these feelings will go on. For example, rules of society, the foundations, the canons, which are «decentman» is obliged to observe.

Often need to listen to myself and not to external demands.

Nice episode. The only part in this movie I can re-watching)))

And my answer to your question is similar to the other people answers — it's fear. We are afraid of doing something wrong, so we decide to do nothing at all. And sometimes we miss a good chance in life. It's a shame, that in our schools teachers don't teach children to make mistakes. They teach us to be afraid of mistakes. And this thought stucks in child's head. So we live in fear...

A NICE EPISODE FROM A GOOD FILM! THANK YOU , MARAT, AGAIN AND AGAIN.ANSWERING TO YOUR QUESTION I CAN SAY THAT PEOPLE ARE MOSTLY SHY IN THEIR NATURE.THEY ARE AFRAID TO SHOW THEIR SENSIRE FEELINGS,NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY,TO BE LAUGHED AT!

Dear u-can!

Sometimes we really miss the chances and cannot seize the opportunities which life offers us. I think this can occur because of our uncertainty about other people and our diffidence. Cowardice is the worst sin as they say. So we cannot change our life, cannot find a right way or choose a tight turn because of our disability of acting bravely. So often we do not want to put our feelings in the window because we are afraid of the others reaction. It is difficult to imagine what will happen if they do not support us. Because of our feelings we cannot live freely.

Truly yours,

It is a very intresting episode. It is about love. The situation is typical. We afraid to open our heart and soul, to be not undestandable. That is why we lose a lot of chances, our honest love. We should be more sensitive for other feelings.

Thank you a lot for your lesson.

first time, when i watch this film, i think only love story. some years ago i watch «Meet Joe Black» again. I understood: one global society problem — How we must  to live our life that in the endnothing to regret. but no one can now for sure when the time comes. we must appreciate every moment, every day.

There is a phrase i like so much: Nobody will take the first step because everyone thinks it's not mutual.

The great movie that i often review again and again. Nice episode... Very kind.

The moral is: Don't loose what's dropping into your lap!

Wonderful movie, my favourite, full of sense and magic. There are so many rules around us, what do we have to do and how do we have to live so that sometimes we forget to listen our heart. We are afraid to dream. We are waiting for the first step from another people and always not sure that it's can be mutually. This film teaches us how to live life nothing to regret about. «What will be next? Only the best!!!» Thank you very much for great pleasure.
