Movie, with a turning point?

[superior88]

I was wondering if there is a movie you watched and it changes your life or changes the way you see the world/life..etc

every movie can leave some impact on us or open eyes to something we were blind to. but I am curious if there is a movie that really had most impact on you.

for me, like "shutter island" it did change the way I see people and trying to see the world through their eyes instead of mine (and its the reason I have my signature).

how about yours?

As a kid "Defending your Life" really opened my eyes - its a great comedy by Albert Brooks that deals with the judgement period between lives and how we are able to move forward is based on how much we let fear control our lives.

The movie felt like it had a higher message to me and inspired me to revisit how I behave, think and carry myself.

For me, the moment I saw this as a kid, everything changed. Every single tiny little thing in my world. Difficult to explain unless you know, and you only know if you too were there at the time (as a small impressionable kid) and experienced the same thing.

After watching the trailer on YT, superior88, I'm going to have to seek out the full movie.

I saw Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, in it's initial run in a multi-projector Cinerama Theater.

I was alone, walked to the theater, and afterward's on my walk home I realized the world of my senses had changed, as if new awareness faculties had been opened by the experience.

Later I would realize it was similar to a psychedelic experience, and remains my alltime favorite movie because of the effects it had on my early realizations about the nature of consciousness and awareness

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinerama

Cinerama is a widescreen process that originally projected images simultaneously from three synchronized 35mm projectors onto a huge, deeply curved screen, subtending 146-degrees of arc.[clarification needed] The trademarked process was marketed by the Cinerama corporation. It was the first of several novel processes introduced during the 1950s when the movie industry was reacting to competition from television. Cinerama was presented to the public as a theatrical event, with reserved seating and printed programs, and audience members often dressed in their best attire for the evening.

The Cinerama projection screen, rather than being a continuous surface like most screens, is made of hundreds of individual vertical strips of standard perforated screen material, each about 7⁄8 inch (~22 millimeters) wide, with each strip angled to face the audience, to prevent light scattered from one end of the deeply curved screen from reflecting across the screen and washing out the image on the opposite end.[1] The display is accompanied by a high-quality, seven-track discrete, directional, surround-sound system.

The original system involved shooting with three synchronized cameras sharing a single shutter. This process was later abandoned in favor of a system using a single camera and 70mm (~2.75 inch) prints. The latter system lost the 146-degree field of view of the original three-strip system, and its resolution was markedly lower. Three-strip Cinerama did not use anamorphic lenses, although two of the systems used to produce the 70mm prints (Ultra Panavision 70 and Super Technirama 70) did employ anamorphic lenses, 35mm (~1.38 in) anamorphic reduction prints were produced for exhibition in theatres with anamorphic CinemaScope-compatible projection lenses.

Haha, as a large impressionable adult, this bowled me over too, upon the first (of many!) viewings

In my teens in 1982, I went to see Missing; young and naive, it turned my innocent view of the world on its head. I didn't know that countries like America (or Britain, or other countries) organised coups in other countries to engineer regime change. It dramatised the disappearance of left-leaning idealist Charles Horman, a US citizen, during the CIA-backed coup that toppled the left-wing government of Salvador Allende, who was killed during the coup.

What a shock to find that such awful events happened in the world and I've learned of much more since, and here I am on PA as a result. It was directed by Costa-Gavras and had a stellar cast. Here's the trailer.

Sound of Freedom hit me pretty hard. No other film has had such an impact on me. Has there been a thread on this movie? My God I recommend all people to see this film. It will inform you of things that are uncomfortable but happening everywhere. So right there we need to be informed.
More than that it shows what people can do when they partner with love and what's right.

II went to see Missing

Over 40 years now, everything else aside of this masterpiece, still remember the short earthquake scene. Out of the blue. Seemingly unrelated. Releasing the tension.
Gavras is a genius.

[meeradas]

for me, it was watching the entire seasons one and two, plus the movie ("Fire Walk With Me") of "Twin Peaks" on one weekend, early nineties.

It taught me so much, it's ridiculous, almost.

And after that "binge", we got rid of the tv set, and never returned to it - THAT changed everything.

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

Not so much a turning point for me at the time but a strong validation. It's only been reinforced since then. A movie ahead of its time.
