My life is a 1993 American drama film directed by Bruce Joel Rubin that follows a dying man (Michael Keaton) making a journey to the past.
The movie also stars Nicole Kidman, Bradley Whitford, Rebecca Schull, Michael Constantine, Queen Latifah, Mark Holton, Haing S. Ngor, Lisa Stahl, Lee Garlington, and Romy Rosemont.
Tropes for the film:
- Noodle Incident: Whatever happened involving two boys with jumper cables playing "Frankenstein".
- Someone to Remember Him By: Subverted in which Bob wasn't expected to live long enough to see his baby born. He does anyway.
- Tagline: "Every moment counts".
- The Talk: One of the videos that Bob records for his son is supposed to be him giving the talk, but it doesn't get past him saying the word "Sex" followed by an extremely long pause before he turns off the recording.
- Time-Shifted Actor: Richard Schiff plays a young Bill Ivanovich, Danny Rimmer plays a young Bobbie, and Ruth de Sosa plays a young Rose Ivanovich.
- Video Wills: The movie has Bob Jones, a father with terminal cancer, leaving messages for his newborn son, to be played at regular intervals after his death.
