Ain't it crazy how your life seems to play out like a movie

Meaning

Life can be like a movie in several ways:

The people in our lives are actors and they take on different roles.
Our lives contain scenes of humor, drama, horror, etc.
You (or a higher power) direct and write the movie, controlling what happens every step of the way.
We wish we could rewind to a past time, fast forward to the future or pause to enjoy the present moment.
There are significant plot points that direct our narrative in different directions.
