No he was right. He is saying that from the perspective of a 70 year old Jamie Foxx looking back on his life realizing he never started the limo company.
Kaiji, Fight Club, even Inception, did this theme better. This is the c**ty version of the carpe diem speech.
"never could have happened" implies something else, that his dreams are an impossibility. Cruise is saying Fox has resigned himself to mediocrity. Kinda funny that you interpreted it that way.
What if your dream is highly unlikely and to go for it would leave you worse off than you are now? Why risk a comfy life even if it's doing something you don't particularly have any passion for?
True. I am close to that dividing point. I don't know what to do. I could try my hand but am aware of the slim chances I could make it work and how my family will probably be annoyed by my childish aspirations and tell me to get a real job so I don't starve. I don't know, the thought of that is scary but what's horrifying is being in middle age and remembering all those aspirations and time invested in this one thing and how you never even tried and just sit there, a wife you tolerate at best and some kid you have no control over his upbringing since you sent him to israelite schools and his mother keeps him/her all day on TikTok because she can't be arsed to raise the kid. I sit there, I work all day and have no life. No passion. I didn't even try and failed, I just didn't try period. I'm too ingrained now and can't leave this hell I've made for myself. Frick. Frick.
They couldn't have known this at the time but he would have been completely replaced by Uber 6 years later and at best gone right back to being a taxi driver. Movies never really show these kinds of scenarios not working out.

This movie is made comical by pretending that Foxx is some loser guy. If this movie had someone like Paul Dano as a young 20's guy who can't decide on his life, it would have been more palpable and the message would be more impactful to the viewers.
You are a moronic shut-in if you've never met a late 20s, early 30s deadbeat black guy claiming he's gonna turn his life around and "make it big" lmfao
I don't fricking care, the movie would have been better with what I suggested. At least, not Jamie Foxx, have some other black actor. Dude is a hoodrat. Not a deadbeat cabbie.
I was considering making a personal website just to have something show up when you look up my rather unique name, and I even made a cool background visual to autoplay on it, then I realized that you can't just put up a website for free. In fact nothing is free. There's really no point in putting effort into anything unless it's your job. Dreams don't really matter, regardless of if they're significant or not.
I do think someone should just accept their reality if they've given it some time and still come up empty but to not dream or aspire for something is just npc behaviour. Rather go up in flames than not even realize the spark inside you and die never knowing what you could have become. No price to put on doing something you like doing for no real reason other than you just do. Life's far too short to compromise.
I always thought it was amazing that people actually have dreams and spend years making sacrifices pursuing them. I can’t imagine what even happens when it doesn’t work out. Any hopes I had as a kid were sniffed out early. Any time I really tried something I failed. I exist because I don’t have the nerve to kill myself.
Like Lester says to McNulty in the third season of The Wire, life is shit that happens while you're waiting for the moments that never come. Be proactive, show initiative and seek life, and only good things will follow from that. Do nothing and expect something, and you're sure to die well before you become food for worms.
I'm more of a Paulie "nothing good ever happened, so what" kind of guy.
that doesn't make sense. "never could have happened" would have made sense.

He's talking about an implied future, Anon.
What if your dream is highly unlikely and to go for it would leave you worse off than you are now? Why risk a comfy life even if it's doing something you don't particularly have any passion for?
You can do that but you can't do that and continue thinking you'll eventually take the risk.

Why didn't Max just RAPE Vincent
you have this guy, all alone in your car, superior African physique, probably got 10 to 15 years younger than Vincent, etc
the film is not frickin logical
Vincent would have torn his dick apart
if africans are superior why are they slaves. try to think a little before you post dummy

>I don't fricking care
It wouldn't, you're wrong and thankfully Mann doesn't listen to shit writing advice and knows better.
When he started talking about Xenu right there, the immersion was broken for me.
SOMEDAY SOMEHOW
IM GOING TO MAKE IT ALRIGHT BUT NOT RIGHT NOW

SHADOW ON THE SUUUUUUUUUN
Okay psychopathic murderer.
Who else here /nodream/? I don't even know why I wake up in the morning. Just to survive I guess.

same
Awful movie with bad camerawork and a really shitty script.
That ending was one of the worst ive ever seen.
Pretty much since I was a kid I just wanted to have a family and good friends and I've got some good friends at least
Why Tom Cruise refuses to act and is just himself in movies?
