21 Movies That Made People Realize They Were Living All Wrong
No one goes into a movie theater expecting an earth-shattering experience. In fact, they probably don’t even expect it to justify the cost of the ticket and a small popcorn-soda-candy combo. If you manage to get a solid two hours of entertainment and escape from the weather, well, that’s about all anyone can ask for.
But sometimes, a movie can leave a much bigger mark. Even the silliest Hollywood spectacle, viewed at the right time and under the right conditions, can convince you that you’ve been living your life all wrong. You’ll walk away determined to move beyond the past, ask that girl out or even become a filmmaker — at least until you realize how hard that all sounds.
That’s why one Redditor asked r/AskReddit, “What’s a film that changed (the) direction of your life?”
