    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — The Age of Adaline


    parschpsy — 9 years ago(August 09, 2016 04:13 AM)

    Hello,
    if you look at the threads for the movie Byzantium, there is one where you are asked if you would choose this sort of immortality. In the case of Byzantium it was vampirism.
    So, imagine you would get a letter that says that if you leave your house tonight at 10 pm and drive in a certain direction than you would receive the same immortality as Adaline. And the letter contains certain information that make it a 100% trustworthy.
    Would you?
    My answer: Yes, in a heartbeat.

      I already had that experience and I took it. That was in 1733 and so far I have not regretted it a bit. Do you realize how many changes I have seen in the 315 years since I was born?

        As much as I hate the aging of my physical body it is after all only a temporary vessel for who I really am..and always have been and will be! So no I'll just wait until I'm released back into my immortality as a spiritual being 😉

          its astonishing that we are so afraid of truth that we invent fairy tails and believe in them only to distract us from truth and make ourselves feel better

            But she wasn't immortal. She just didn't age. And apparently never got sick or seriously injured.
            Big difference between immortality and looking the same way until something kills you. Doesn't sound so great to me.

                Sounds pretty good to me, as long as you're in a healthy age/state.
                Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.

                  No. it would be a nightmare. everyone I cared for would grow old and die, and i would be left alone. There would be nobody who rememebered what i remembered, nobody i could talk about past times with, i would have to watch my sons die, my grandchildren (if any) die. it would be horrible.

                    Instead of "immortality" you should say "eternal youth". There's a big difference. Immortality with aging is not at all good. But immortality with staying young - I would probably take it and would only rarely regret it afterwards.
