What movie changed your perspective on life?
What movie changed your perspective on life?
Problem Child 2
Triumph of the Will
The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight made me want to go into making movies =^)
American History X
Toy Story
No Country for Old Men
When I was kid, Fight Club probably made me more cynic.
Now maybe something like ToL. I have had existential thoughts before, sure, but I think ToL "showed" me how to come in terms with them.
Tropic Thunder made me realize Hitler was right about the jews
Anything from the DC universe
Mr. Nobody
The Professional
It taught me the purest form of love
Barvis Versis Suparvis Dawn of Jarvis
American Beauty made me lift, made me sort my shit out, got me laid and got me happily married
Shit's like a one-stop fucking cure-all, it is
Manchester by the sea
>realised i cant beat it so might as well go with this shitty life
The love between a man and his gun?
I can relate to that.
Into The Wild seeing as an impressionable 16 year old made me consider the meaning of isolation versus community.
Leslie Bibb in The Skulls gave me my first real good erection .
Jesus Christ Superstar made me love religion even if the musical is secular.
The Truman Show almost convinced me to quit school and move to the east coast to work on the docks. I walked seventeen miles, got really tired, bought a cab back to my dorm, and never told anyone.
i saw into the wild when i was 14 and it made me and a buddy fall asleep, complete pretentious garbage that was. no shit theres a difference between isolating yourself and being among people. "gonna burn my daddys money cause he wasn't there for me XD"
movie was garbage
Same.
But in all seriousness, quite a few movies changed my perspective on life through the years like Das Boot, Letters From Iwo Jima, Oba the Last Samurai, Flags of Our Fathers, Gettysburg, Yamamoto: Commander of the Combined Fleet. Honestly whenever I see a movie from the perspective of historical figures it's. Something about it is changing. I don't really know what but. Yeah.
25th Hour.
Not profoundly, but it made me see life in another shade/tint or whatever you call it.
It's in my top 10 of all time
word
Not a movie but I thought the first season of breakig bad was a manifestation of "will to power" and it energized me for maybe a month or two
and then you went back to being a weak willed loser
Sideways
13th warrior. Even as flawed movie, its just filled with philosophy that formed me and guides me. And even though I am a christian "lo there do I see..." is a perfect prayer and motivational chant.
The greatest story never told
Rick & Morty Compilation Movie
lol
city of god
city of god perfectly shows why shithole countries are shithole countries and why you shouldnt waste your time trying to improve them. its all about the shithole people.
I don't get what you get from the war movies
Cloud Atlas. Made me feel more connected to humanity and reality and also made me appreciate my life more while worrying less about the bad things in life.
Napoleon Dynamite also made me appreciate my life more, especially the boring and mundane parts which I now consider comfy and enjoy.
I'll take the bait.
No, it showed that the reason shithole countries and shithole countries are because people are raised in conditions that make them have to be shitholes to survive, which doesn't say anything about wether you should help them or not.
Brazilfag here, we shoulda nuke this place
And believe or not, the movie is light. Reality is waaaaay worst
>pennyless Indians and Asians who emigrate to shitty countries (and also live in shitty neighborhoods) somehow end up more wealthy than the natives
Really makes your neutrons fire up
Uhmm, no... it would be weird if it energized me for the rest of my life wouldn't it? That's what the quran is for faggot
spit some story senpai
How does that contradict anything I said tho
dumb frogposter
Not sure if the posts ITT so far are genuine or memeing
If genuine honest to God kill yourself
what outside force exactly turned them into murdering drug addicts? they had family, a place to live, and job prospects. and even when they made money they blew it all on retarded shit.
ex machina - that we are all just a series of nerve/transistor impulses

Walter mitty.
Went from neet to 2 jobs and travelling to multiple countries each year and am now studying (Y).
...
Inception
Just an interesting observation
Batman v Superman
I don't like you
ok
big dick playaaaaaa
I really want to punch Ben Stiller in the face.
Maybe if you used your penis to punch more vaginas in the face, you wouldn't be so full of pointless aggression.
>generic life goals that are shown in every ads on Earth
i mean, it's cool that it changed you, but i hope you have other dreams
For me, it's Les 400 Coups
>pointless aggression
It's not pointless in the case of Stiller
fucking this
You sound fully like one of his characters though.
Tropic Thunder was great man
Walter Mitty was so punchable I'm telling you
The Hunt
>don't talk shit about people if you are not absolutely sure about the info
12 Angry Men
>slipping some criminals back into society is a necessary thing if we don't want innocent people to end up in jail for no reason (not guilty until proven)
Oslo, August 31st
>how (not) to approach or pity a depressed person/junkie
Fail-Safe
>putting all our trust just on technology alone can result in catastrophic ways
Apocalypse Now
>war really is hell
The Dark Knight Rises
>what memes are really about
Ben Stiller wrote and directed Tropic Thunder while Walter Mitty was a remake, you are making your aggression seem even more backwards and pointless.
ToL?
Yes, I loved Tropic Thunder
Ben Stiller directed, produced and played the lead role in Walter Mitty, so the existence of the film as it is is largely thanks to Ben Stiller
Fine, I'd punch Stiller's character as Walter Mitty and Stiller for making the film itself. Otherwise Ben is cool and TT is fun, thanks Ben, cheers
The Yes Men
>instead of being dismissive immediately I should say yes more often
Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour?
Batffleck training make me go to the gym
The Yes Men or Yes man
Which one do you mean?
holy shit me too, not in a good way either
...
Not every ad makes you buy the stuff right? You can only react to a certain way of message delivery
See wasn't that simple, jack?
Now go get laid.
I actually found it really inspiring.
walter mitty
...
This and A Serious Man.
>has no understanding of board culture
Kill yourself tourist.
Holy shit what a faggot
Jack's POV
Only Yesterday
I dig it. It's a nice push out the door to explore.
last nite, my gf feels asleep. i took some acid and watched "timelight" (1952) the last charlie chaplin's film. i cried.
Fight Club when I was a teen but I don't really feel movies having that same effect on me anymore.
Holy fuck this wojak is a giant
Lolita
Watching Lion King now just doesn't feel the same anymore ;_;
Mate, I got the "move away from your hometown to escape" message, instead.

This. Seeing it is what pushed me to take the transsiberian trip. Not sure if that really changed me tho
None they are all Fiction.
Never Cry Wolf
...
I stopped trusting women after Antichrist
I started using drugs after Enter the Void
Thanks, european cinema!
jokes on you, you're the pleb who's easily manipulated
Sunset limited helped me with my depression only to push me back into a hole (,:
Ealing films.
Esp. Passport to Pimlico, Man in the White Suit and Kind hearts & Coronets.
Basically that is comfy English values pre-Thatcher. Cynicism about big business and community with being commies, gentleness without weakness, its a nuanced Brit feel.
We're told by the right nobody was ever like this, we're told by the left we don't even exist, they are both wrong.
