Here is the plot description for “The Adjustment Bureau”:
Do we control our destiny or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller “The Adjustment Bureau” as a man who glimpses the future fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he’s ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York.
On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt). She’s a woman like none he’s ever known. But just as he realizes he’s falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart.
David learns he is up against the agents of fate itself – the men of The Adjustment Bureau – who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path or risk everything to defy fate and be with her.
“The Adjustment Bureau” is written for the screen and directed by George Nolfi (writer of “Ocean’s Twelve” and co-writer of “The Bourne Ultimatum”). It is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (“Total Recall,” “Minority Report” and “Blade Runner”).

Fate
Yeah, we control fate. But the thing is, how do we know control fate? To me, it is the chance opportunities that decide our lives that controls fate and that really is only time that matters.
Fate
I think it’s a combination of us deciding what to do with what fate has handed to us. The universe can give us only so much, and we need to decide whether or not we want to squander those gifts.
I think we control our
I think we control our future to some extent but fate is those curveballs that life gives us that you can’t foresee or predict.
Gonna be a good movie
I love to see Matt Damon.
Adjustment Bureau
God gave us the gift of free will but I think there’s an ultimate plan.
Fate
Um. Yes, we can control our fate. We decide what we are going to do with what happens to us. Seems kind of pointless to think that we don’t have any control over anything.
FATE
I think that we do control our own fate.
Fate
I think we do control our fate.
Fate
I absolutely believe we control our own fate. Chance, opportunity, misfortune all may be our of our control but in the end we control the ultimate path we choose.
Good question
We control our fate to a certain extent. If there is some structure and disipline created by us we can control whatever that produces for us. Now if something or somebody comes in abruptly with no regard to our boundaries our fate them goes up for grabs.
