And despite all those thousands of people, from young babies yet to live their lives, to elderly men with but one leg, assuredly about to end thiers.... They are all dead, and no longer exist at all. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has had their full life, from birth to their death, and now they are gone. We don't know their names, who they were, what their likes and dislikes were... But it doesn't matter. Because the world has kept on turning...

Likewise, one day WE will all be gone and perhaps someone will be saying the same about our generation.... And as such, it made me think...

That it doesn't really matter, in the greater scheme of things, what WE DO or DON'T DO... Life is SO SHORT. None of us will live forever. Some guys reading this will still be in their 20s now or even younger, but Im heading towards my older years now, with a mathematical certainty of less life left to live that I have lived already...

We have this virus atm, which is genuinely scary (Yes I admit that I find it scary) and seeing that movie is a reminder of what a brief time we get to spend upon this earth... And we need to realise that, and make the most of the time we do have. And at the same time, be aware, that nothing we do really matters - So just enjoy life while you can...

So yes - Everyone in that movie is dead - I stand by my thread title

That and it's also suitable ambiguous enough to be clickbait, and I need the views on my sig...
As much as it's disheartening to read what you said here... I gotta say I agree 100%
