For thousands of years, knowledge and wisdom have been passed down through the art of story-telling. Stories offer us different perspectives and help us understand and make sense of the world. And movies are stories.
Aside from being a few hours of fun with friends and family, watching films can also be a form of therapy. Apart from the obvious — escaping our own lives and problems for a short time — there are many documented benefits to watching movies. In fact, it even has a name: cinema therapy.
Movies like Good Will Hunting is a good movie to see the different perspectives. It was a really motivating movie for me mostly the studying part. Getting a degree from the library for free.
There Will be Blood really taught me what people do to their competition. The lengths that people go to make a business thrive. Daniel Day Lewis was amazing. Buying land hundreds of years ago was really interesting.
