24 Movie Moments People Experienced in Real Life
What’s funny is that when we talk about life “being like a movie,” it’s very rarely because the occurrence in question is significantly strange. “Truth is stranger than fiction” is a saying for a reason.

Times that your life feels like a movie are instead often when things work out far too neatly, and you find yourself following a series of events so cliche that it’s both soothing and unsettling at the same time. After all, you don’t want to spiral into a full Truman Show-style breakdown after you meet your wife because you bumped knuckles reaching for the same book at the library.
