Life Lessons From Film?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I've been following the 'Film Club' thread and I was wondering:  Is there a film or scene from a film that gave you good advice, not necessarily in an overt way?

Here's my example.  Robert Duvall accounts for three of my top ten favourite actors.  Unknown to far too many people, he did a film in 2003 called 'Secondhand Lions'.  Here's my favourite scene:



Here's what I learned:  Never tease an old dog.  He might have one more bite left.

A Beautiful Mind.

Quote: "Like a diet of the mind, I just choose not to indulge certain appetites..."

Those would be my addictive tendencies/behaviors.

Good one - good film, good advice.

Funny that you mention a Clockwork Orange. That may be the only film, I really took something away with me. That bad doesn't always mean bad.

I've watched it first when I was far too young to watch it. But it taught me the shades of grey in life and that not everything is black and white.

Luke, I am your father!

This made me feel great relief to know my dad wasn't the only father out there being a general cunt to his kids.

Ennis Del Mar having his meltdown after the shepherding gig with Jack Twist ended hit me like a bolt of lightning.

I assumed the character in the movie I would identify with would be Ennis, at that moment, I realized I was 'Jack Twist' for a man in Wisconsin. It was quite a jolt, did not see it coming, I had not an inkling 'John' was in love with me.

Hell if I know whether or not 'John' ever put all the clues together, I'm pretty sure his wife did . . . . . .

$64 question, would, she ever talk to him about it, especially if they never heard from me again ?
