Movies that could change your life (maybe)

Seeing good films can allow us to reflect on our choices by leaving us, at least in the most fortunate cases, valuable information and sometimes, perhaps, even allowing us to open our eyes to something we could not even see before. So I asked myself, if I had to draw up a list of the films that, at least with me, were able to spur me, worry me, disgust me, delight me ... which ones I would never have included ...

Whenever you turn on the TV, listen to the radio, go to the theater or cinema, talk to someone or even drive, what you are unconsciously doing is receive information. Information overwhelms us, bombard us and even if we do not want to, even if we are absorbed in our thoughts, after all, they always manage to find a way to show us what is the best choice for them, what is the right way to face a some thing, stupid or important that it is, in short, they give us suggestions in a conscious way or not, right or wrong for us.

So choose it, at least sometimes, just like we would do with good books, even of see good movies it can allow us to reflect on our choices by leaving us, at least in the most fortunate cases, valuable information and sometimes, perhaps, even allowing us to open our eyes to something that before we could not even see.
