What genre would the movie of your life be?

http://www.buzzfeed.com/samstryker/what-genre-would-the-movie-version-of-your-life-be

You got: Musical

You’re creative, talented, and wear your emotions on your sleeve. Only musical could portray the cheerfulness of your life. There are going to be a few dance numbers along the way, but with your talent, it’s nothing you can’t handle!

Don't ask me how?!?

You got: Costume Drama

You are decadent, classy, and appreciate the finer things in life. Good food, fine clothing, fancy parties — that’s what you’re all about. Rewind the clock a bit, and put on an amazing outfit, because your life is made for a costume drama!

I have a feeling that choosing "the script" as the single biggest expenditure in the budget might be what decided it. I had Sandra Bullock in the lead and Benedict Cumberbatch as my villain (might not be easy for an indie production to get them cheaply though) and an "entire city" getting knocked off for dramatic effect.

Glorfindel

My ideal character would actually be Professor Henry Higgins as portrayed by Rex Harrison.

Despite doing everything right, despite breaking my hump and playing by the rules, my life ended up in the crapper. Cut to scene of me running into the swamp with the "heat" on my tail.

What I wanted was a romcom. No such luck

You’re SCARY awesome and a true survivor, so only a horror movie could do your life justice. Yeah, there might be a few screams along the way — and prepare for some blood — but you’ll be able to handle it. But remember… TRUST NO ONE!


Didn't expect that all.

Your life can only be described as FANTASTIC. It can’t be just any ordinary movie, because with your personality, you need magic and enchantment. Hop on your broomstick and grab your magic wand, and be sure to watch out for dragons!

then I still haven't seen that movie, only clips.

Now, if you mean the character, Tetsuo or Kaneda would be fine

What Genre Would The Movie Version Of Your Life Be?

You got: Romantic Comedy

You’re sassy, energetic, and outgoing. Your love life is always an adventure, which would make for a perfect romantic comedy. You’ll bring the laughs AND you’ll get the guy (or girl) in the end!

That's not quite right. Where we're going we don't need lightsabers, laser pistols, or spaceships.

But they got the rest right.
