Apparently so. A new survey conducted by The Guardian, a internationally renowned newspaper, says yes! Films can act as a lifeline for over 20% of viewers and can change who they are and now they view the world.Many more reacted to the notion that an inspirational film will always be there and act as an unwavering companion, like a pet. For example, almost 25% of the people who took the survey saw It's A Wonderful Life not just as a perennial Christmas favorite but as an important personal moment that taught them the value of family.
And than there are the films that teach how brutal and uncaring the world can be, such as Bambi and Old Yeller. What about love? Over 20% of respondents indicated that they didn't know what love was until they saw it in a movie. You know, I think there is something to this theory of the life changing movie. In further research I came upon lists of life changing movies - listed here are several:
The Shawshank Redemption
The Fall
The Crow
American Beauty
The Silence of the Lambs
Juno
The Tree of Life
American History X
