Forums - Movies & TV - Has a movie ever changed the way you think about life?

No movie has had a long term impact on me in the way that I see the world or treat the others.

However there's a movie that, after seeing it, made develop a stupid habit that I still have. The movie was "The Shawshank Redemption" and my habit is looking the shoes of other people.

It's stupid, but I can't help but do it. And I've seen some very weird shoes .

Made me endeavour to be a better person, truly.

Other than that, there are plenty of movies that have me think differently i.e. Lost in Translation; Wall-E; Volver; No Country for Old Men etc., and these often end up being my favourite films.

Was gonna say the same. My dad showed it to me a couple of years ago and said it was his favorite movie of all time; I can easily understand why.



For me it would have to be Fight Club. Tyler Durden really makes sense in the first half of the movie the way he explains people. His views towards the world and how everybody is always worried about where they are going, or what everybody thinks of them, about a relationship, about life, and that you should just calm down and relax. Just let go and know what you want in life. I also like how he states that you are not special, you are just like everybody else. You're not your job, you're not your clothes, etc etc. People get caught up in material things and forget who they actually are. People often times think they are different than everybody else and they are better in some way. Think about it, do you view yourself as being different than other guys than yourself? In reality we all are similar in a way. Even at the beginning when The narrator asks Tyler what he does for a living and Tyler responds "Why? So you can act like you are interested?" This hits perfectly because when you tell people about things like this they over act and it's obvious. It just shows a fake side to people instead of them telling you how they actually feel.

Overall this movie just really made me have a different view on people and life in itself.

Stop spreading this propaganda! We are all horrible, evil people who hate freedom. How dare you attempt to make us look like good people!

I have no doubt you are a sick human being who only thinks of torture and anguish. Badgenome's written testimonies described all of your past actions with great detail and exposed you as the evil human being you really are.



Yeah, that birthing film they showed in health class.

Whenever I watch "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" I'm always reminded to appreciate the little things in life.

Bam.

As for me, I take inspiration from movies all the time. Last one was my rewatch of Scent of a Woman. Great movie.

Not as morally challenging as Phantom Menace for badge, but great nonetheless.

"Biccentenial Man" made me reconsider what is to be human.

It's really a masterpiece, I recomment it to everyone.

 

I loved that movie The movie "A.I." made me cry because it made me want to appreciate my family more, especially my mom (even though she gives me a hard time sometimes, I love her). The movie "Contact" made me cry near the end. It just felt touching to me. I also love "A Walk To Remember" (I am a big Mandy Moore fan, but I loved the book; READ the book!!) and "The Notebook." I love Nicholas Sparks books and movies.
