Tonight a friend who grew up in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee wanted to go see a movie in the newly restored Avalon movie theater, a place he had found memories of visiting as a child. The place was beautifully restored and now is a movie theater where you can something to eat and drink during the movie. So Pat and I, my friend from Bay View and his wife and another friend from the old neighborhood went to see the movie “The Imitation Game”. Going in, all I knew it was a true story was about a code breaker in World War II.

What was surprising was how good the movie was. What I did not know it was about a brilliant man that with help of others help build the first model of what we not would call a computer and not only broke the German code but kept it secret, thus shortening the war by a few years and saving many lives. The secret of the code breakers was kept for over 50 years after the war. I did not know that the lead character in this true story was a gay person in a time being gay was illegal in Britain and he would suffer greatly as a result. The story was well done and made the comfortable surroundings of the renovated theater more enjoyable.

There are lots of good movies out these days based on true story. Sometimes a true story told well can be more fascinating that one of fiction. I saw an interview with Angelina Jolie, the director of the movie “Unbroken”, another true story that has gotten high ratings and was recently screened by the Pope. It is another one of these stories more rich than one you can make up.

What this rash of good true life movies says to me is that if you look at life fully in the present it can be something exciting and meaningful. I recently saw an interview with Norman Lear, the famous TV producer. He was asked if he had regrets about things he had done in his past. He said there were certain things he would have done differently but he had no regrets since all his past experiences brought him to where he was today and that was in a very good place.

We cannot change the past but we can learn from the past, in history and by our own mistakes. These movies say to me “No Regrets, Learn from Past and Live in the Present.”
