I have to agree with freak here. a common theme in many movies is that fate is set. if he had moved away from that falling vane, SOMETHING would have impaled him. Prophecy in movies almost always sits right on the line wetween fate and self-fulfillment.

In other words, in a movie, even if the person knows something is going to happen, and takes steps to avoid it, those steps invariably are the ones that lead to the prophesied(sp?) events.
