Sequence of events
One day, Whit was talking about his partner then he provided him, Howard spoke to employees in that meeting. There are a lot of things he was talking about. He started his speech in questions:
What is your "why"?
Why did you even get out of bed this morning?
Why did you eat what you ate?
What did you wear? What you wore?
Why did you come here?
and said "I would fire you and hire someone else, I'm not here to sell shit, I'm here to connect, He focused on Life people, advertising illuminating, and how our products and services will improve people's lives”, then asked them, how do that?
Then he answered three words: Life, Time, and Death.
He had convictions for these words. He said that everything that we ultimately end up buying because at the end of the day we long for love, we wish we had more time, we fear death. (These three themes are present throughout the movie, I think that they help structure the movie and motivate the characters).
Three years later, Howard put the dominos one after one like a shape. He pushed one of the dominos to fall down and pieces fell down. Usually, the pieces of domino took about five days to build one after one. His friends were worrying about him. The company was in a bad place because they lost a deal with Danworth Financial. (My case, a case, to have a bad a case of). However, his friends decided to watch Howard and help him. They sent someone to watch him and keep track of him (to keep track of).
One day, when Whit was in the company, there was a line for a casting session. The casting people (kept/stole/ plagiarism/ to plagiarize) the sentence "Shed your skin, find your life". The person who first said that sentence was a girl auditioning for the role. When she left the company Whit followed her to "the theater", he met her there and she was named Amy. Whit met his friends and showed them a short movie then suggested to them that, we need to hire three actors to act in three things: love, time and death. Whit suggested to them actors, then they went to meet them in the theater. They told them about their plan, then they offered them money if they did that task. They gave them a plan. There were three people: Amy’s was role love, Brijet (Brigit, Bridget) role was death, and Rafi role was time. At the time, Howard was touring in the city on his bike and staying to watch people in the support group outside by the window.
One day, Howard decided to join this support group. There was a nice girl called Madeline. She asked him to join and talk about himself. Madeline met him outside after the support group and told him about her daughter who was six years old when she died of a rare form of brain cancer known as Glioblastoma Multiforme, or GBM for short. When she asked him about his daughter he refused to answer her and escaped. Those actors began to meet Howard and provided him with the message. Every one of them met him to do that task.
On Thursday, there was a competency meeting with the board set. In this meeting, there were people besides Howard and his friends. They showed him a video that was captured and montaged by his friends. Howard appeared as a crazy man who talked to himself. That happened to make Howard sign on papers especially for the company.
Howard figured out that and told them “you hired people to follow me” and made a video. They admitted did that. They apologized to him. But he described all of them, Claire “you dedicated your entire life to this agency, you made us your family when you could have been starting your own, you’re killing yourself to cover me”, then he went to talk about Simon, “I know your history, I promise you as long as I am here, your family will be cared for” because Simon was deadly ill. Then he went to talk about Whit “best friend I’ve ever had, but I’m disappointed you, you don’t need her permission to be her father, your daughter the best thing you got happened in this world”. Then he told them “guys you did the right thing” and he signed on papers for the agency. The other papers were in his daughter's name.
After that all of them went to see their life, Simon told his wife about his bad health. Whit went to see his daughter after school and told her that he loved her. Claire paid Rafi $20,000 and he told her that one day she would be a good mother. Howard went to Madeline’s house to speak with her. He was walking slowly inside her house and saw pictures on the walls while Madeline was talking with him and showed him a video on the TV for her daughter called Olivia. Howard and his daughter were in this video. Howard heard the sound of the daughter then cried and hugged Madeline and told her “her name is Olivia”. Finally, Howard and Madeline are back together. (By the end, all the characters found love, time, and death…..)
- Conclusion:
All of his friends sacrificed to make him return to his life and be happy and forget bad memories and see the future in the best way.
