It was certainly about "the way you perceive the lives of others is not necessarily always what is going on or correct" ...
Kinda about a bit of xenophobia, including overt racism obvs, but mostly about ... I dunno ... other people's lives and how they are tangential to your own.
So obviously it had an effect upon me which caused me to become a more thoughtful member of the human race.
But not much |
I found it depressing that people needed a film to tell them that. People being the group of friends I watched it with... not you |

Don't tell me...your bedroom is lost under crucifixes and you keep an Aurora "monster light" on at night now?
I'd read the book before that, but it was one of those movies that didn't disappoint me afterwards. I was quite young when it came on tv though.

I could've been like that with "The Man Who Would Be King", but again, I was only about ten when I first saw it. Still a favourite, it led me to Kipling, and a fascination with the Indian subcontinent I've had ever since - the "English disease" I'd still love to be able to travel there extensively. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Hmmm? This is a hard question for me to answer.
I have been influenced by films (I can think of at least two).
Music and words from songs have been more influential to me personally.
For example, I heard the line " you don't need eyes to see, you need vision " in a song and it made me think about how I view the world.

Nope, can't say a film has had that much effect on me.
The only thing hat has really truly had a profound effect was going outside on a ship entering Tokyo bay very early one morning and seeing a totally clear Mount Fuji bathed in rising sunlight. I have no idea why it should, but it did and I still remember it clear as day 30 years on.

Oh yeah, I've been emotionally scarred by a few. Requiem for a Dream jumps out for some reason. |
^ One of my all time favourite films...
For me, watching Poltergeist at about 10 was a bad idea. No TV in the bedroom from then on, especially those creepy CRT's that would glow for a good 10 mins after the lights go out... Low tolerance for "snow" on a TV, always in bed before the channels went off .
The Shining. Again, I was young, perhaps every child should be made to watch that and then every parent should have a Jack look about them when they get angry, would solve a lot of problems I was a huge Stephen King fan and that was the only film (imo) that didn't turn out like a steaming pile of shit. IT was ok, but that whole book/film thing....yeah.
Films that made me think a lot:
Fight Club
Matrix (first one, when it first came out)
Pretty much anything by Lars Von Trier; Dancer in the Dark, Antichrist (my first Lars film and my favourite, that shit's fucked up), Melancholia, Nymphomaniac.
Inception
We need to talk about Kevin
Awakenings (I love Oliver Saks)
Requiem for a dream
Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
I like darker films, I like a touch of realism, happy endings aren't a necessity. |

Dunno why I'm underwhelmed by celebrity. For some reason names just rarely seem to click in my head. |
Same here. It's not that I don't appreciate talent (although fewer and fewer so-called celebrities seem to possess any ), just that the majority of them aren't exactly saving the world, curing cancer or solving the mysteries of the universe. Depends on your priorities I suppose. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

See that Stephen Hawking, right?
I've not had him in the back.
I have to go on a wheelchair handling course in a few weeks, maybe if I get lucky, they might use Stephen Hawking as the "celebrity guest trainer"* ...
*(no, there is no such thing, really)
On topic, though (and reasonably topical within my life, as my sister is currently in hospital with a possible broken back) is that the movie about Stephen Hawking did give me more cause than usual to consider how life must be for raspberries that aren't vegetables. On days when I am whingeing about how much my feet, legs, ankles hurt, it makes me grateful to still be relatively ambulant/self-propellant. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
