Joe Versus the Volcano

"Joe Versus the Volcano" is a most off-beat and unusual film, but the central message it advocates is a common one. Life is worth living and this is never more relevant and meaningful than when life is slowly ebbing away and coming to an end and perhaps the circumstances leading up to that final terminal breath allows for a period of reflection. How awful would it be if all you were to see is a succession of missed opportunities and the "what ifs...." stemming from the possiblities afforded by these lost opportunities. A life of poor choices and complete failures is hardly ideal, but when compared to a life wasted? A life of no accomplishments at all? A life lived on these terms of taking no risks is indeed a boring existence and hopefully none of us need to jump into a volcano to realise this.
