It's great holiday movie for lost lovers.
Jokes on you I'm on dark mode
ALL of my LIKES are LOVES!!!
But remember, time... cannot be used for profit.. but it can be used to create to increase that very profit...
Wealth is of many things that your including. Plus that 6 billion in your account.... 😊
I Simply Love this movie
One of my favorites. I was injured when I was 13 and am in a wheelchair for over 20 yrs now, I have had dreams like this movie living a life if I didn’t end up in a wheelchair. I connect with this one.
you still can anything is possible
I injured myself when I was 22, and made train-wreck life decisions from pain. Javier is right though: anything is possible if you believe. Maybe using spirit healing or body part regeneration once potus returns.
wow 😮😢 i checked out that you posted some vlogs on your channel showing this. i appreciate that you shared 🙂
May God fulfill all ur wishes
🙏 hope you’re at peace brother.
One of my favorite movies. I'm a big old softy. I always get broken up at the airport scene. I have fallen in love with a long lost girl from my past and I have been happier with her for the past 7 years than I ever have before. This is almost our exact story except instead of 13 years it took 30.
I love you nicolas cage
you were probably meant to be together from before birth, you have history beyond this life.
@@koscraftbuilds4937 there is a connection we have that can't be described. You are probably right.
Jack watching the video tape is when he finally understands what he has.
@@scottford1091 seriously? Please share ur story?
Honestly, both Jacks have better lives than most of us.
Motivation
Haha, true.
Speak for yourself..his life is better than yours
@@ablemicky9923 "than most of us".....
@PaperGrape Ablemicky may have a better life but he is illiterate😂
The little girl saying she knew he would come back gets me in the feels every time
Little girl then got erased.
100th like
@jamiestewart48 😂😢
@@jamiestewart48 She didn't get erased. The Jack who was her dad, came back to that reality just as Jack, the millionaire, returned to his.
One of the most emotional film I've seen, it's certainly impossible to accurately recap all the well defined emotions the film carries in 15mins
go watch ARRIVAL.
Yeye keep yappin 😂
I second
Imagine spending time with “your children” from an alternate timeline, then living the rest of your life without them. That would suck.
Yeah You Would Think He'd Be Able To Line In The Timeline With His Children But Maybe That's The Price He Has To Pay "Can't Win Them All" 🤨🤔
"Live"
This movie is so incredibly sad. Especially the ending. No matter how much he wants to change his life and rekindle his love, those children will never exist.
Exactly!! More like a punishment
😢 this is my favorite movie. Thanks for the insight. Your so right😢
They can still have them.
@@kickassets6414yes!
It's a truly bittersweet ending
Barely one minute in and I just hit pause. Movie looks too good to just enjoy for 15 minutes. Going to get the real thing. Thanks MotionPic recap. Wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't posted.
one of my favorite movies. saw it the first time when i was like 11 and really enjoyed it, not knowing much about life or love.. 18 years later saw it again now with my significant other by my side, and understood the movie a bit better and found it more enjoyable this time around.
Such a good movie actually, loved listening to the recap
Good movies used to be produced around the 90s and 00s
The reason for that is because studios can't rely on DVD sales to make up for the cost of a film.
There's more pressure for a movie to make all of it's budget back in theaters, so more niche/interesting movies aren't being produced. It's really sad.
@@brooklyngray1527 thank you for explaining the details!
@@brooklyngray1527 and woke culture ruined movies
My life is exactly like this. In my 20s I made the decision to forgo love and pursue wealth. Now I'm 36, I got everything I ever wanted, I'm financially free and my personal wealth affords me a very good lifestyle. But sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake. My brother is only relatively successful (financially) but has a wonderful wife and 2 kids. Ever since my niece and nephew came into this world, I love them soo much. I can't imagine anything more wonderful and valuable than children. I now have many regrets, but I like being the rich uncle.
I think you are born to be an UNCLE!!! I am a COOL UNCLE and LOVE MY NEPHEWS AND NIECES but if I had my own kids, I would be TOO LIBERAL and worried about being a COOL PARENT and that would backfire when they grow up. Some people are born to be FATHERS or UNCLES and I am an UNCLE!!!
Uncle is a GREAT role. The kids can have a special relation with you, because you, like grandparents, will protect them, but not try to "correct" them. Socialization is a parent's job, an important and heavy one, so grandparents, aunts, and uncles just get the fun parts. If the kids go wrong, everyone blames the parents; no one every blames the uncle ;-)
@@ralphacosta4726 Thanks!!! I am the COOL UNCLE!!!
Well,you can find a cool woman between 18-23 ,probably a virgin and a traditional woman as well and start a family with and kids ,you can even move to Eastern Europe or Asia and live live an average successful man lifestyle over there,I’m sure you will meet a very wonderful young woman than you can wife up ,and be very careful of women and take your time to check few of them that you like ,then you can choose the best from them,
Bring rich doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a happy family of your own ,you deserve it
36 is young
This movie made me realize that money can distort your view of what true happiness is. Great movie I almost forgot about it
still bull shit, money buys it all. You can have all this and have money. Plenty of rich people have big families. But having a big family but not being able to feed them is surely unhappy... So these movies are a crock of shit, in all honesty. Good movie, but lets be real here.
I remembered an old thought upon seeing a small recap channel, and then the movie is perfect for that. It really is. The recaps allow some people to feel alive, and others to live. That's the good trade. Afterall, something has been found
Not " poor" just middleclass working hero.
This is on my Christmas movie list every years…love it.
This movie never fails to bring tears to my eyes. 😭
Mine too
Me too
This movie is a classic. I had the girl of my dreams and I was stupid and I cheated on her. She moved on and married some lucky bastard, and I see them happy as hell on social media. I have yet to meet another woman with the same qualities and beautiful heart. Definitely learned my lesson the hard way. This movie definitely brings a tear when I think of what could've been.
Yeah, I had one too, she isn’t married yet but she has moved on. I Didn’t cheat on her, things just fell apart
I chose drugs over all my relationship. Me and the drugs are still in a committed relationship till this day and its going strong. I got serious and buckled down.
@@14isoldenough amen to that im right there w ya
Stop simping over this married woman. She’s not your girl, she’s not your family. She is nobody to you. You resemble a deranged psychotic stalker who can’t let go and has unreasonable thoughts and ideals than you do a long-lost love.
@@kaatilbilla1202 same here
I remember this movie, it really drives home the importance of family.
I felt this because... What good are the finer things in life if you don't have someone you love to share them with?
I loved this movie back when I was a teenager.
Ahh the early 2000, where a man is forced to pick between an amazing super rich big house and a super super rich life and super super big apartment.
😂🎉😢
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a very underated Christmas movie.
Title should read "Billionaire Loses Everything And Becomes A RELATIVELY Poor Salesman." Relatively is a key word, because there ain't now way that house he had in the alternate life is one of a poor person. It's not like he's working minimum wage and living with his family in an undersized apartment.
I mean by today’s standards, id say he’s loaded even there.
@@ZuhaibShahzadaMusic Depends on the location. If he's got a house like that in a major City, then yes. I believe in this storyline, the house is on the outskirts of the city, implying that they are more middle class, probably in the 65-80K region. That's still well off though, even if not loaded.
@@awfan221 You crazy? Depending on the region, that house is easily worth 3 times that!
@@nomaanalwi9495 Not back then, and he mean 80k a year.
Middle class
One of my favorite movies.
Jack wasn't a billionaire.
Jack also wasn't a poor salesman.
This movie is much deeper than most can see.
Amazing that one decision can make a completely different life for you and everybody else. Life really is made up by the decisions we make
Yeah, that's why some people say to focus on your studies and not women
@@Victor-tv9xz nooooooo
Well you got your answer 😂😂😂
@@Victor-tv9xz I mean in his actual life he was more successful from a financial sense but I think he was more personally fulfilled and happy with the life he didn't have.
Glad there is a happy ending to this movie and no sad parties. That’s the kind of movie I want to watch!
The kind of movie that will never be made again. Because Hollywood today basically says that it's more empowering to tell people off and to just be rich than to value relationships and family.
Anne was teaching Jack how to be her dad pretending to be her dad lol.
The warmest tearjerker for career focused folks like...you and me
I loved this movie. How I wish I had a glimpse of my future life. At least I would have been warned that my exhusband was gonna cheat multiple times and abandone me and my children.
This is a very underrated Christmas movie that's perfect for the family. It's like A Christmas Carol meets It's A Wonderful Life
That was actually pretty good. Cage is so prolific that he has just as many bad movies as good but at least, from the recap, this is one of the good ones. The only sad thing about this movie for me is that those nice kids are never coming back even if he did restart his relationship with Kate.
The cool thing about nick cage movies is even the bad ones are distinctly "nick cage movies" and are fun to watch
Yeah makes me sad too
ABC. Always Be Caging.
Even his bad movies are considered to be good ones for me. He is just the kind of actor you couldn't hate and would love to see in any movie even the movie is utter garbage
I am a father of 3 and a business man. This made me cry.
I'm a father of one and the moment he's saying goodbye to the kids made me teary eyed.
This was one of Nick Cage's better movies.
After Con Air...
Yes sir (con air ) man of culture 🥲
@@strider8811226 You think it should have won a Oscar too 🥲
Face Off?
@@MrDotaleavers Aside being a co-lead with John Travolta...
Yes, it was pretty good too...lol
Cage did Snake Eyes in 1998!!! I liked his performance although the movie did not do well in the box office!!!
This is actually heartwarming. I hope I get to have a wife one day :D
This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. IMO it’s our “It’s a Wonderful Life” movie of this era
This is a true Christmas movie, I love it!
Saw this once as a kid and loved it. One of the best Nick Cage movies.
I love this movie, one of my all time favorites.
This is a movie we can all relate to. Life is a series choices that define our paths.
I can relate to this movie strongly. I was with this girl and had to make a heartbreaking decision. I only had 5 months during our time together and that was it. We had to go separate places and couldn’t change it. But getting married that quickly would’ve been crazy. We have been married for 13 years with two beautiful children.
That’s cruel, giving him children and then snatching them away. Even if they go on to have children, they won’t be the same, since they will be having the kids at an older age than in the alternate universe. You’d live your whole life basically feeling like 2 of your kids died. Unless those are the kids he’s destined to have with her regardless, which may be as the other universe is just a glimpse.
He brought it on himself.
3:34 that's a Chrysler minivan, not a Cadillac.
He asked the father in law for his car he said “you can’t drive my Cadillac” then he took his own minivan.
@@tlsparks The narrator made a mistake then, because he said "and lend their Cadillac to him".
@@awdrifter3394 that’s correct.
That was a great movie, should play it every Xmas..
This was one of the movies that was available on my Newark to Frankfort flight in April 2001. That was the only time I saw the WTC Twin Towers, from the terminal and the WTC is shown in the film.
When I was very young there were two choices. Either marry this woman or go off to adventure of life time. Everyone stopped me from marrying because I was too young but I chose that route. I suffered from depression after depression but it got worse about 7 years ago. I love my wife and kids but there were things that I needed to do but never got it done. Regrets is a scary thing.
This is something I might use in my today life struggle cause I ama suffering for the same thing
@@thebachstudent Wish you the best.
Why either or? Couldn't you have brought her along in the adventure or since you were very young done it and marry her later? I am sorry for your depression, it will get better
@@themomentcollector5402 Well, that would have been nice but that adventure we are already part of which is called marriage. But thanks, it is getting better.
"In movies you feel somethings is possible but in reality is a disappointment."
Really loved this movie. So well made.
Anybody else notice what Kate was doing at 6:08 ? Seems like dancing...
Yup, dancing in the shower and scrubbing her butt. This shows that life with kids is not all torture and can be enjoyable.😅
I loved this movie when I was younger
One of the best movies ever.
Even as a person who is jaded on romantic love...this is still a great film. Too bad it's not real life!
Yeah no way the woman forgives him to cancel her flight after being abandoned so harshly.
I really enjoyed this movie , ain't gonna lie .
It would have traumatised and destroyed me if one day my kids just disappeared. Love the film, but the unspoken consequences from the ending sucks.
Agreed, if I were the Mc, I would have hunted down the angel and forced him to take me back to the other world. Hell, I’d threatened to become a satanist and join demons. I mean, they buzz off the whole celestial hierarchy pretty quickly.
So Jack gets transported out of his great life into an alternate life he didn’t ask for? He wasn’t a bad guy, or wishing for it.
I HATE RECAPS!!! but this is your best of two in as many weeks. It's not rare for me to tear up for a movie but never for a recap.
Thanks for sharing. LOVED, SUBSCRIBED, & DING!!!
My LIKES are always LOVES. PEACE...
im not ashamed i turned this movie on as soon as i finished this recap even though I have watched this movie dozens of times ^o^
There's a Korean version of this movie, they did a great job as well.
My wife and kid left for 3 weeks, I’m eating beans, I got a tattoo, the house staff is in disorder, I didn’t even know how to pay the internet bill, the car wash guy called her to tell on me that the cars are dirty. I can’t wait for them to come home
Jajaajajajaja
are you that pathetic?
i love the story ill watch this when i go home with my wife.
I found even the recap uplifting. But I wonder if Hollywood got it backwards. I see the nice socially full home life as being the *result* of a value system to begin with, and carefully considered decisions and experience in navigating the challenges and choices that life throws at you. Even with that, however, things don't always unfold the way you plan.
The protagonist's value system was obviously career success. Can someone spin 180 like shown in the movie just by being exposed to the outcome of having *successfully* navigated the challenges in life in accordance with the opposite value system? The original career oriented direction of the protagonist didn't just pivot on one decision (going on a business trip and not returning to his girlfriend), but an entire life value system, consistently applied on an ongoing basis. It would take a different person to have made the decision differently, and to continuously apply the opposite value system that such a decision reflects.
I think that is the precise point. You think you want a certain thing, you got it, but it's not particularly fulfilling. He was lonely and disconnected. If on the other side, he was connected and loved. He had people that gave his life purpose. Even still, his core values of ambition didn't change. He still wanted to take his family to the city and chase the bag. In the end, he didn't change. He will still be the career guy, but now he gets the girl. They carve out a life together that aligns with who they both are today.
@@ineedhoez I think we're talking about different things. He reconnected with his former flame at the end of the movie. We don't know if it will pan out because your entire value system has to change to steer things in the direction of the "glimpse" into the alternative reality. Not only that, but it takes a lot of work to adhere to those values steadfastly over a long time. We don't know whether either of things are humanly possible for him, and even if it is, the alternative outcome is not guaranteed. Would he be able to carry on life according to those value systems when the outcome that he caught a glimpse of is never guaranteed? That's why I said it's about value first. The values need to be so central that you will live according to them, regardless of how likely a rosy home life is. The rosy home life might come afterward, and it may not. If you don't hold such values so dear, then you will falter and choose easy paths when the going gets tough. Or superficially compelling paths, without deeply reflecting on their implications.
Jack (Nicholas Cage) valued money and professional success over anything else. The whole message of the film is there's more to life than work and getting yourself to the top of the ladder. Jack was uber wealthy (not a billionaire but probably a multi-millionaire) but had no family, no real friends, and was working on a holiday. In the alternate timeline, he has a wife and children, a good friend in Jeremy Piven's character, and a fulfilling life.
@@Quball87it's working because he already experience success for years, knowing the other side had to offered.
They don't make movies like this anymore. Everything has to be woke, woke, and more woke. Bring back the 2000s, please!
we need movies like this in todays times.
Had to cut this of at 5 min, wanna see it for my self, big softy for this type of movie👍
This is a great movie. I love it
Never know what could've been, stay strong kings,
we wuz kangs 'nd shiet :D
One of my favorite movies to watch during the christmas holiday
This is a fantastic movie, just watch it.. you won’t be disappointed
One of my favorite movies this was amazing
Love doesn't last nowadays without money
Facts
This film... is beyond words good.
Moral of the story: Fork love and you will became successful 😅😅😅
HAS TO BE HEARD;
Best line is when the little girl approaches him and admits she knows he's not his actual daddy but more of an alien 👾
She then asks
(in a super cute voice)
DO YOU LIKE KIDS?
to which he replies
ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
What a great movie
Nice movie after many many days.
Enjoyed base human feelings.
3:30 that mini van is a amazing Cadillac 😂😂😂😂
I loved that movie!!!😊
Title is misleading. He didn't lose everything since he had nothing to lose to begin with. On the contrary, he gained everything he would have wanted.
"Your purpose must come before your relationship."
I remember this movie. I enjoyed this as a kid. Didn’t know the cast was this good.
My favourite Christmas movie of all time
I feel the same way.. Like I am stuck in some time travel weird bad journey.. I want to go back in 2011 and make things right.. I wish i ciuld go back.. I miss my wife my daughter.. 👶😭
The best movie recap i have ever seen.
The is the most cruel torture, showing a man what could have been.
On of the best Nick cage movies
My highschool sweetheart has kids now. So I guess this fantasy is over.
Same here man, same here.
Great movie!
this movie is amazing it like looking at past time , US like this doesn't exist anymore.
i love this film. that's what life is all about.
Love this.
Need more movies like this
7:35 he didn't pretend, he was exhausted from his 9 to 5 job and lack of sleep with the children which he's not used to... At least that's what I perceived in
So he got both worlds? 😂 he winning
The best movie by Brett Ratner... believe it or not. I love The Family Man. Its not as great as Its A Wonderful Life but The Family Man is still worth buying on Blu-ray
One of the best movie recap
Really Really good movie.
comment #201:
I saw this movie in the theater when it came out oh so many years ago. It broke my heart then, but now as a dad myself, it hurts even more. I cannot imagine a life without my family
My life is exactly like this. One morning i woke up and started saying, "You talkin' to me?"
Its the eggnog he got food poisoning and hallucinate it all ( love this recap. great movie!)
Emotional and philosophical movie
