Title: Films that changed your life
Post by: vinexist on March 12, 2008 06:20 PM
Are there any films that have affected the way you see things in life? OR anything like that?

Maybe not, But even so if there is tell us all about it.
I know Donnie Darko made me think about things more.

there used to be an entertainment subforum, but i don't think we have enough entertainment topics to merit one. the more sub-forums we have, the more scattered everything is. i always wanted to avoid having 5 billion different subforums, so i'm really picky about adding new ones.

anyway, probably more than any movie spirited away did that for me. i think that solidified my decision to be an animator

Some of you might think I'm a fag for this but I'll say it anyways. The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya. It's some weird anime that got me to think a lot. About how uninteresting pretty much everything is. Ever since I watched it, I don't feel like doing anything anymore because it has probably already been done by someone else or it is, right now, getting done by someone else. Doing something unique is great though, that's why I like animating.

The only thing that I really love is to observe people's reactions. There are probably a lot of people who like doing that but I don't care, it's a nice thing to do. Just like this weird spriter payne something, I love his reactions. I loved Anigen's reactions, too back when me and rtil were fucking with him. Now Anigen has changed for the good, most probably because of what we did. The human brain and way of thinking is so neat.

I cant really think of any at the moment. Though there are films have have changed the way i looked at things. A documentary being 'Earthlings', though it didnt make me a PETA-fag or vegen/vegetarian or anything like that. I find music changes my perception more than anything, thats why i need to stop listening to UNKLE.

I was once a Narutard because, obviously, I watched Naruto. And it fucked up with my brain and stuff so I was all: Hey guys xD Check this ^_^ it's cute! It was my friends who made me start watching it. Because it's was that thing you do in lower grades: YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS AND FOLLOW THIS TO BE COOL LIKE US!!! And they drew anime and thought they were so fucking cool. I sucked ass at drawing back then and they were better than me. And they kept saying: Conny, you don't know how to draw Naruto characters. And they were tracing the artwork as I tried to actually draw it. And well, they got it in their faces when I finally became better than they were. And their comment to that was: Meh, drawing is gay anyway.

Thinking back at that now.. ugh.. The funny thing is, I didn't realize why people thought I was a faggot. But now I do when I stepped out from anime and all that. I still watch anime time to time, but not as much and not as.. I don't know, not as much into the whole thing.

Honestly. I think by watching anime you become very, very immature. And I was immature by watching it because I acted after it and it was the only thing I was talking about and drew. I didn't know what originality was, lol.

I've seen the anime, I know what you mean.

Something that made me think about the future was a 15 minute film called 'A minute after midnight' or something. It's set in the future 2059 maybe...And it's about 2 convenience store night shift workers just discussing life while one has a romance with a day shift worker.
It made me think about how dull life could actually be in the future.

the movies that had the greatest effect on me?

probably "taxi driver" and "waking life"

i think taxi driver is the single greatest movie ever made. you simply cant make a film much better than that. thats what got me really heavily into film.

waking life is great but not so much for the rotoscoped animation, even though that aspect of it is really cool. but if you get into the philosophical aspects of that movie its amazing to think about.


i dont know if any other films changed my life really but i have had movies where i was just astonished at how incredibly good they were. "silence of the lambs" is the best acting ive ever seen in a movie, and probably the best plot twist as well (when hannibal esacapes). "city of god" is one the most realistic and innovative movies of the past decade. best cinematography ive ever seen, hands down.

yeah i dunno its not much of a MOVIE, theres no story or anything. but the philosophical shit is really thought provoking, thats pretty much the way i see the world

scanner darkly was good, especially the animation. still not a big fan of the rotoscoping, but its a major improvement from waking life. i wouldnt say it was life changing or anything though, it was just a good movie

Hmm, films that changed my life... I don't really know though.

But lets just say the first thing that pops up into my mind is "The Land Before Time" By Don Bluth. Why is that? Well, it's the cartoon that got me hooked into cartoon in the first place and it's probably the first cartoon that I actually cried for it BUT that was when I WAS VERY YOUNG (something like 6 years old), if you're still crying like a baby from watching The Land Before Time even an Emo would make fun of you.

Please note that I only mean the first one and not the series as a whole because I watch one sequel and it's kinda like a mockery to this cartoon. I never watch any sequels of The Land Before Time again since then.

this is just as stupid as Psi's I think

the first Saw movie. the whole concept of being grateful for your life and everyone else's really hit something in me, i learned a lot about sympathy too

i can't say i hold the same exact values though tbh, it was a pretty long time ago
but still it's on-topic

oh yeah but i fucking hate the saw series now. the first one is the only one i ever liked

that's it, though, i don't watch many films. i'm more of a reader or self-educator

Post by: sQueef on March 13, 2008 04:00 AM
seems to me that psi43 should look into psychology. probably not but maybe.

Anyway  I'd have to go with...

the novel, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

because of this quote written by Samuel Longhorn Clemens (Mark Twain);

"Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it -- namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is OBLIGED to do, and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. And this would help him to understand why constructing artificial flowers or performing on a tread-mill is work, while rolling ten-pins or climbing Mont Blanc is only amusement. There are wealthy gentlemen in England who drive four-horse passenger- coaches twenty or thirty miles on a daily line, in the summer, because the privilege costs them considerable money; but if they were offered wages for the service, that would turn it into work and then they would resign."

When I was young I didn't have the attention span to understand what exactly was going on in a movie as I was watching it so I see a bunch of VHS tapes my parents have and they feel like the first time I've watched them.

That said, here's my "life changers"

Transformers the movie (The old one!)
Battleship Potemkin
Falling Down
A Few Good Men
Neverending Story

2007 Transformers was GAY btw.
And on another note, I'd like to point out how awesome Disney movies actually are compared to the crap they release nowadays.

I dunno, I don't classify things as "gay" or "not gay"
I just classify movies like cats don't dance by
a) Whether or not I like the songs
b ) If I think the characters are lovable
c) If it's funny to me
d) If the moral isn't too annoying to me

I really think cats don't dance had all of these things ( or maybe i'm just a sucker for the way they animated things  )

I dunno, I don\\\'t classify things as "gay" or "not gay"
I just classify movies like cats don\\\'t dance by
a) Whether or not I like the songs
b ) If I think the characters are lovable
c) If it\\\'s funny to me
d) If the moral isn\\\'t too annoying to me

I really think cats don\\\'t dance had all of these things ( or maybe i\\\'m just a sucker for the way they animated things  )
i thought the songs were annoying and cliche (though thats animated features), the butler was the favorite character of mine as i foudn the voice actors annoying, i didnt really find it that funny, though it had its moments. I just didnt like it, not my kind of movie, and that little cat was annoying.

Boys Don't Cry is incredibly overrated considered the theme was been tackled way better in a number of old Japanese movies. Also, Hilary Swank is a very mediocre actress.


Don't get me wrong, the movie is fine, but I'd never say you should see it unless you're very interested in sexuality struggles.

I never found scary movie fun. And the big difference is in the film making. Moulin Rouge was an artist film in alot of way. The director's approach to the material made it a 'good' movie instead of something similar to Scary Movie, which is what it would have been otherwise.


Besides, the Oscars mean absolutely nothing anyway. Michael Bay is one of the directors in the Academy, and he has a say in who wins Best Director.

a movie that really changed the way I want my life to be like was "american splendor"
it was like almsot two hours of those odd moments in "the office" where they have some great insight into how pathetic a reserved lifestyle can be

also, 2001
I know this might be really clichée and it didn't really change my life but the "jupiter and beyond the stars" sequence really struck with me and kinda made me think of artistic value and presentation in a different way. same thing with the first few seconds of a clockwork orange (just showing the color red to give a sense of danger)

Quote from: REDMONGOOSEdonnie darko is a poorly tied together piece of garbage the director himself said that he didn't have any true direction or statement he was trying to make with it and that he didn't understand the following it had or any of the things that people told him they thought it was supposed to mean
well while i agree that the film wasnt crafted that well and is pretty confusing the real value is some of the ideas suggested within it

though there is hardly any message the whole idea of dreams being gateways into alternate universes where you make decisions that can change the future is really cool to think about, especially if you remember any of your dreams and can imagine them as a movie themselves

it doesnt really make that much sense and that isnt really waht the movie is about, its just a lightly mentioned idea at the end of the movie and it stuck with me

every indie director is like that

and if they\\\'re not they\\\'re completely full of themselves and think they\\\'re the greatest

either way who cares! it was a pretty cool movie

um well i think what he was implying was

going into the movie you have this preconceived notion of what musicals are like, as well as what old timey music and country music are like

the movie sort of shatters that by hand picking the best folk songs to use from the 1930s and covering them all really fuckin well. i never would have thought that id enjoy bluegrass or blues music until i saw that film, so it has changed my musical taste for sure. plus it has that great offbeat coen brothers feel and the same beautiful roger deakins cinematography that all their other movies have, which is what keeps it from getting overly staged and retarded like other modern musicals (moulin rouge, dreamgirls)

films can have messages within them that maybe make you think in a different way or just change the way that you see things thus changing your life!!!!!

uh zeitgeist

partly

the first part about religion is really fucking well made and i suggest everyone to watch it. The 9/11 part of the movie was kinda ok, but it's all just stuff that had been on the news or the internet, so it's not really too much new stuff. Then the part "the man behind the curtain" was great as well. Very nice explanation why money will always result in debt and stuff like that. Also a not-so-bright outlook on a maybe-future.

you can legally torrent zeitgeist and zeitgeist addendum from the official website, which is www.zeitgestmovie.com i think.

mmm thanks a lot squeef. I will look into it.

And rtil, it's money = debt.

I can't really explain that in a few words and I don't want to write a semi-textwall. Check out the movie if you have the time or check out the one squeef posted, judging from the title it's probably about the same issue.

ok so i finally got around to watching the wrestler the other day, and that kinda changed my perspective on people, life.. etc !!!

throughout the whole film there's that sort of odd overlying redundancy and pointlessness to randy's life in general. it's all so bleak, but then you get those little moments that just light it up, make it memorable. this film made me flip from thinking "life is bleak and pointless" to "life is good" sort of notion. then switch back. and again. repeat. there's something so devastatingly normal and ordinary about being alive. yet there's always those little flickers of true livelihood. not sure how to explain it.

also now i look at people differently i guess. before i just sorta kept to myself and didn't think much of strangers. but now whenever i see someone that looks like they've washed up from the 80s i imagine they're a semi-retired wrestler

yeah i dont' get it at all. there's plenty of people who have money that don't have debt. money doesn't cause debt - credit, loans and mortgages do.

yeah i totally agree

i was never a wrestling fan and usually thought of wrestling fans as idiots but that movie changed my mind. even though people say its fake its not, the hits are real, its just loosely staged. the amount of physical abuse that they have to endure is grueling

and i agree about the monotony of his everyday life. like the scenes in the market, hes trying to make the most of the job and be polite to people but he just doesnt fit in there, and as soon as the guy spots him as a wrestler the only thing he can do is violently hurt himself, just like he does in the ring

All the talking and hating is fake. Back stage when the cameras aren't around, they're all friendly and nice. Wrestling is still fun for me to watch when I'm bored, but when they start talking shit I just tune out.

idk what movies have changed my life. i think reading/seeing plays has always had way more of an impact on me.
i think the play that has most changed my life was Lost in Yonkers. when i was in 11th grade my highschool put on that show, and i played the roll of bella. i connected so much with that character, and it made me realize that i wanted to be an actress
