I could be reading into this movie a little more than its creator intended, but who cares?  It's a funny movie, with a great message:  Do what you love.  Fuckin' aye. I think that most of the population is still stuck in "Milton mode" and none of us really know how much time we have left in our lives. Another interesting perspective within the film is how things just line up for people living this path.  Certainly, there are hardships when we follow our passions, but when push comes to shove, there are hardships when we DON'T follow our passions too. The struggle in life is guaranteed.  Success is not.  If we can find a way to enjoy the struggle of life... because it is congruent with our life purpose/mission/ikigai then we get to WIN every day.  Not once we retire.
