10 Things movies taught me

1:49 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments

It’s been very interesting topic, I have been thinking about this for very long. Even before I started to write the blog. Sometimes it happens that we have to take some decisions but we do not have any one to fall back. We take and consequently come out to be right, then we say ohh it was just luck but we don't see how we manage to take that decision..

Its very interesting we always say that we learn from the experiences but do we really?. I don't think so, we don't do much thing apart from the work (obliviously), some people even don't do that..even though they go for work...ha ha ha ha....

Some how it happened that I discussed about the movies with my colleagues. I don't watch HindI movies unless and until it is been a mega hit. One mistake was 'Khatta mitha' but for that I had to write a complete blog. Let it be I see mostly the Hollywood movies they always has a subject and they stick to it. while watching the movie you become the part of it or could feel the essence of it.

Movies are like field guide, we say that just go for the movies for fun but in-turn we always learn something new from it. Be it be friendship, respect, adventure or Fantasies. I enjoyed movies just for fun or time pass but over the years they taught me a lot. I think everyone has but they don't realize it.

Lets start from my favorite movies.

Leave the Past Behind (Time Machine) - Not many have seen this movies but this movie has very important situation in the heroes life. His girl friend dies of unfortunate incident and he tries to go back to past and change it but for his amusement he couldn't. Message he gets is whatever in the past u couldn't change it so move on to the future. In this movie it was moving l

Finding the right talent (School of Rock) - This movies was about a guy who is a lead guitarist in his own band. He gets thrown out his band. Then he somehow got into the school as a teach for 11-12 years old children. Beauty of this movies was how he found out the true talent of the children, give them the courage to do well.

Friends are for all season (DCH) - I think this movie has taught my generation the true meaning of a friend and what we should not do to break a friendship. Sometimes we do silly mistakes to break a friendship but in bad times only friend comes for help and no one else.

Great struggles (Pursuit of happiness) - Never seen a heart wrecking movie. A struggling salesman takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional endeavor. It is the story of a father who goes for lot of pain for a moment of happiness and when he reach there he finds that all the pain was well worth it.

Believe in God (Evan Almighty) - Apart from the all the hilarious situation it has, it gave a very simple message. It emphasizes on the importance of the god in our lives and how humble we should be. The message was 'Its not we who achieves something but we should be thankful to the god who gave us the opportunity to do so'. Even though I am not a very traditional guy but this message we always should remember in our lives.

GandhigirI in modern times (Lage raho Munnabhai) - Story of the modern day Gandhian who tries to follow the true principal of Gandhi. This movies told us how relevant can be the principles of the GandhI in this modern age. I think it was a very good reminder for all of us that what difference we can make in this society if we follow simple principals of Gandhi.

Family comes first (KabhI KhushI KabhI Gam) - I don’t like these typical Bollywood movies and all that rona dhona. but the real message I got from the movies that 'Even though how much father loves his children he dont express it' very important message in our age or in our society where there are incidences of old age home, beating. Don’t want to talk about it but…



Struggle for Existence (Avatar) - Movie based on the struggle of indigenous people where they fight for their own land. Brutality of humans on the others land captured very well, in India we hear this every day this struggle for land which has given birth to the nuxalism. May be we learn from it and start doing the right thing without disturbing the original people of the land.

Complex World (Matrix) - I had to see this movie trice to fully understand. Movie was related the complexity of the world and how humans are woven into the daily life that he fails to understand the actually reality which is quiet different that he thinks. Loosely based on the Hindu mythological concept of Maya, excellent take on the complex issues of once thinking.

Great powers comes with great responsibilities (Spiderman) - Apart from the great special effects this movie gave the very important message that when one gets the power he or she has some responsibilities as well so taking care of both is the right approach.

This is my take on the movies, I learned a lot that’s for sure. You tell me your experiences where you behave in certain ways and later on you thought that how did u do that? may be some where u have seen that..
