Here is the plot description for “Charlie St. Cloud”:
Based on an acclaimed novel, “Charlie St. Cloud” is a romantic drama starring Zac Efron as a young man who survives an accident that lets him see the world in a unique way. In this emotionally charged story, he begins a romantic journey in which he embraces the dark realities of the past while discovering the transformative power of love.
Accomplished sailor Charlie St. Cloud (Efron) has the adoration of mother Claire (Oscar winner Kim Basinger) and little brother Sam (newcomer Charlie Tahan) as well as a college scholarship that will lead him far from his sleepy Pacific Northwest hometown. But his bright future is cut short when a tragedy strikes and takes his dreams with it.
After his high-school classmate, Tess (Amanda Crew), returns home unexpectedly, Charlie grows torn between honoring a promise he made four years earlier and moving forward with newfound love. As he finds the courage to let go of the past for good, Charlie discovers the soul most worth saving is his own.

Surviving a near death experience...
…would truthfully be an experience that probably would make me reprioritize my life so that I would do what I want rather than what I should do and not feel guilty about it.
Change
I think I would rethink all my life. Take chances more and do things I never thought I would do. Appreciate life and live life to the fullest.
near death reaction to my life
I would react normal as everything is done for a purpose ..my purpose was to live not DIE!!
change
I would try not to worry so much and take more risks in life and love.
if i survived a near death accident...
I would do everything i can to recover and heal then i would try to pick up my life from where i left of. There would be some difference to…because i almost died i would prob have saw everything/ everyone i took for granted and all the things that i put of and did not do. i would live the rest of my life enjoying every momment of it filling my life with fun and adventure and doing what i want while i stil can. i would not put thingd of till last mintue also.and most importantly i would spend more time with the people who love me more than trying to go for people i want but will never notice me. i would also love my family more and not take the rest of my life for granted because u’ll never know when u’ll lose it again…ur not lucky like this everytime :)
survival
i will live each day like its my last..
I think I would feel a sense
I think I would feel a sense of urgency to live every minute to the fullest.
Charlie St. Cloud Giveway
I would appreciate my friends and family more. One tries to do this anyway, but sometimes we all get caught up in our own problems and forget those that love us.
Make every minute count
I would stop and smell the roses, not get so worked up over the every day little annoyances, be less self critical. I would say I love you to all the people in my life, I would enjoy the dawn of each new day as a chance to make a new start.
How would life be different?
I don’t think life would be any different. Life will be the same, but my outlook on it will probably be more positive and I’d be more appreciative. Sadly, it shouldn’t take a near-death accident for us to change our ways.
