Not true. Last night I was with expats. Everyone I talked to about the movie had never seen it. These people were in their 20's; you're in your 40's, so maybe there is a generational gap. Among young people, newer movies are more well known. Every single Korean I have talked to about It's a Wonderful Life has never seen it or even heard about it. |
Im 40 and Ive never seen it either. Nor do I want to.
Anyway, inspirational movies;
rocky 4! who can watch that montage and not want to get fit and kick someone's arse?!
Any movie by Jean Pierre Jeunete inspires me to save more money, study languages, and reminds me there is more to life than teaching efl in korea.
And 2010. It always reminds me to keep things on perspective. |
Me neither. Along with Titanic, Tree of Life, Life of Pi, or any other crap that critics and their sheep call "Life-changing", "Inspirational", or when you know it's utter dreck: "Must see movie of the year"
Inspirational?
The Power of One
Taxi Driver
Equilibrium
Enter the Dragon
Joe Kid on a Stingray |
Life of Pi was decent. I didn't find it inspirational I just thought it was a neat story and an easy watch. I saw it about a year or so after it came out and it was on HBO so I turned it on and was pleasantly surprised.
Not judging, just curious as to what you found inspirational about Taxi Driver? |
Really? If you have to ask, then you will never be able to comprehend. And on that note, I think you are a distant relative to either donkeys or monkeys. |
Well I haven't seen the movie in about 15 years so the only thing I really remember about the film is the violence which is why I asked. No need to be a smartass in all your posts. |

Haha it's OK. Just a really really bad day. It's a message board though, everything is fairplay.

I just thought it was great how the guy took his psychosis and violent tendencies from trying to assassinate the president to shutting down a kiddy prostitute house. In releasing his violent demons, strictly for a selfish manner, he became a hero.
His role was that of a classic anti-hero, something I love in film. Vin Diesel's character in the Riddick trilogy as well. |

Gotcha. I remember most of the scenes in Taxi Driver but I've forgotten the meaning behind them. I must have enjoyed the film though as I believe I have the DVD around the house somewhere.
I really enjoyed the Riddick films as well. |
