High Noon, and The Duke's The Alamo. I think I might have become a (somewhat) different person if I hadn't been exposed to both movies at a tender age. Of course they both express essentially the same thing: "There's right, and there's wrong. Do the one, and you're living. Do the other, and you may be walking around, but you're dead as a beaver hat." (David Crockett in The Alamo)
I first saw The Alamo when I was 10 years old. I watched it in a hotel in San Antonio. We went to the real Alamo the next day. That's the way to do it.
Have any movies caused you view the world differently or live differently than you once did?
f.2 noted movies are 'fantasy'. I think in a way they're also like going into a 'dream'. I also think they do help in having the viewer 'see' the world differently. You know there's a thraed that asks why we watch some movies over and over,. if you ask me that's a clue that films and their themes are certainly important to some. Has to be soemmting to it iof you keep watching mit! It must fulfill some need in all of us! Anyway, film is a great art. It entertains, teaches and does orient ourselves to the world in a few ways.
I always remind myself how we all touch the lives of so many others, positively and negatively whether we know it or not. When I have to make a decision, and after going through all my usual pros & cons and consideration I'm still stuck, I ask myself "Which choice am I more likely to regret? Which will I feel better about in the future, when looking at it in retrospect? If I don't do X, what would be all the potential consequences?" I envision being shown how things would be if I, or my decision, were taken out of the picture (like the angel showed George Bailey in the movie). It usually helps, and I've been doing it since my late teens, the first time I watched the movie all the way through.
