Is now for me the same as now for you?

this one relates to all those quesions about time, but here goes:

am i experiencing this moment at the same time you are? are we all living in the same time frame? it's hard to explain what i mean, but i'll try using an analogy.

let's say your entire life is a movie. also, my entire life is a movie. there will be parts in your movie that overlap with my movie, of course. now, let's say that living life is like watching the movie (and i'm not trying to argue that life is already played out, this is just the best analogy i can come up with). well, when i'm watching my movie and i get to the part where i, let's say, pass you on the street, am i seeing me pass you on the street at the same time that you're seeing me pass you on the street? if i'm a year older, would i see that part of the "movie" a year before you do?

so, basically, the question is, do we all start our "movies" at the same time, or do we do it such that the events all occur with each other, or what? of course when u read this u'll think "well, i'm sensing now right now, duh" but how do you know that, in my perception, i didnt write this years ago?

also, even if we all did start our movies in certain spots, do they stay in tune with each other? we all know the saying "time flies when you're having fun." well, if while i'm playing games and having a good time it is like watching the movie in fast-forward. so, if i have more fun than you would i get to this moment first? and if i were in class for a long time, bored outta my mind, would you get here first?

it's really an unanswerable question, and i've tried to explain the concept to other people, but nobody understands. if i've lost anybody i'll try and explain better. so what do you guys think of the idea?
