“There is no point planning for a future, which, when you get to it, and it becomes the present, you won’t be there.” – Alan Watts

If you haven’t seen Volvo‘s latest film, then I recommend you watch it now. It uses the recording of Allan Watts‘ lecture “Live Fully Now” from 1959 to remind people that the future is now.

Many of us reach a point in life when we have to choose. Career over passion. Work over play. It’s when surfers turn CEOs. Photographers turn lawyers. Fly-fishers turn doctors. Mountain climbers turn engineers. But, we should always remind ourselves to enjoy the moment and Live Fully Now.

The ad was beautifully crafted by Forsman & Bodenfors, directed by Vincent Haycock, and filmed in Canada.

Wes Anderson is considered to be one of the best directors / screen writers in Hollywood. His films are very distinct for their visual treatments, colors, narrative style, flat space camera moves and obsession with symmetrical composition. You can literally mute any of his movie and just immerse yourself in the visual journey.

I became a fan of Wes Anderson ever since I watched The Life Aquatic and The Darjeeling Limited, but what really blew my mind and turned me into a big fan was The Grand Budapest Hotel, it is by far one of my all time favorite films.

Check this interesting video showcasing the perfect symmetry of Wes Anderson’s movies:
