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”).

YES
We are in charge of our own fate and our own happiness. We can’t control things like illness, disasters, etc but we can control how we handle and react to those situations.
Yes and no. We have free
Yes and no. We have free will, but somethings are beyond our control.
Yes and no. Yes we make
Yes and no. Yes we make decisions in our life, but the actions of others also affects our life paths. Plus I believe there is a life path we all have that our decisions and the decisions of others can alter - good and bad.
controlling fate
yes you can. If you see your possible future, you can change it. If you see your definite fated future, you cannot.
We Control our Fate
I do not believe in fate, we control our own lives.
FATE?
Yes, day to day we control our own fate influenced by the occasional plane crash, revolution, or natural disaster.
Do we control our own fate?
there is no such thing as fate , everything happens based on our actions. at any given time the choices we make change our outcome , not a pre-decided plan .
absolutely — we are all in
absolutely — we are all in control of our own destiny!
fate
yes i think that we ccan control our fate if we choose to. But somethings are out of our control.
We are our Fate
Our deeds determine our fate.
