I know, it sounds complicated. Let’s take an example, shall we?
- The movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off has a total running time of 1 hour, 42 minutes, and 55 seconds.
- If you expect to live 90 years, and you were born in May 1979, then you are at about the 1/3 mark of your life.
- Doing some complicated math, WHERE YOU ARE IN THE MOVIE takes the film and determines where that exact 1/3 point in the film would be, then shows you the exact scene in the film that represents.
Using the 1/3 of our life as an example, these are the scenes we would be in various movies:
- Ferris Bueller: we’d be just about to park the car in the downtown Chicago parking garage
- The Princess Bride: we’d be having a battle of wits with a Sicilian (with death on the line)
- The Wizard of Oz: we’d be just about to meet the Scarecrow
- Star Wars: we’d be telling the Stormtroopers, “these are not the droids you’re looking for”.
