One Week

What would you do if you only had one week to live?  Katelyn lent me a movie last week that I literally just finished.  Like the credits are rolling right now, and I decided that I just HAD to write a post about it.  It’s called One Week, and it’s a Canadian film with tons of Canadian landmarks, and a great Canadian actor, Joshua Jackson.  Anways, Joshua Jackson plays Ben Tyler, the man character, and he is from Toronto.  At the beginning of the movie Ben is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  On his way home from the doctors he comes across a man selling a motorcycle.  He then begins his adventure across Canada, stopping at Canada’s Worlds Largest monuments along the way.  This movie had me googling all these monuments and wanting to go to them!  The closest I’ve gotten was to an Indian Head in Saskatchewan, and an Apple in Colborne on the way to Ottawa.  I try to stop at the apple everytime I go to Ottawa, but I only go for the goats and the apple, since I don’t like pie!  Along with awesome Canadian monuments, landmarks and scenery, this movie has some amazing music.  Hellooo Joel Plaskett! He even plays a busker in Toronto in the movie.

This is the last quote in the movie, and I’d have to say. I love it-

“So the question becomes, or should have been all along, what would you do, if you knew you only had one day, or one week, or one month to live?  What lifeboat would you grab onto?  What secret would you tell? What band would you see?  What person would you declare your love to? What wish would you fulfill? What exotic locale would you fly to for coffee? What book would you write?”
