I occasionally reference the idea of a multiverse. The belief is that a separate universe exists for every possibility of every moment of creation. With that many existences, anything is possible. If you take that concept and meld it with idea that perception is the basis of our existence (I think, therefore I am), then the world that you are experiencing now is the one where you live forever. As I gave the concept thought, I realized that a "normal" life probably had the best chance of living the longest.
I don't know how much I buy into this concept, but I find it interesting. Having recently watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which was similar to another story idea of mine, I found myself remembering the idea of a story where a man goes through his rather ordinary life, but the audience sees the various amazing and terrifying possibilities that his life could have taken. In some he gains fame, in others he gains power, but it becomes clear as the story goes on that the only reason he is still alive is due to the rather mediocre, yet pleasant, life that he is living.
I am a little concerned about people "moralizing" this kind of story. I do not want to create propaganda for being boring. Still, I like the concept and would like to see how a filmmaker could achieve this visually.
