Do movies change your perception?

Of course there are a handful of movies which have influenced me. The one Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and then later Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam have had great influence on me. (both are Indian movies). There are a few from Hollywood too but I guess, the Schindler's List does stand apart for me. Most of the movies are for fun but then there are a few who have some substance and it is all upto our minds, our knowledge as to what and how much to take from them

Well! There are some really inspiring movies... I really liked 3 idiots movie... It is about rhe typical students life, the stress, the race to be first , and how parents pressurize their children...

Hi grvdubey: It really depends both on the film and the audience at the same time. Some films are good and inspiring, some are just entertainment and there are a number of films that are just trash. But you can't blame the film. It depends on the audience. The audience must be mature to take what it's good for them and inspire them to improve and leave the rest. Last film that touched me and inspired me was "Precious" based on a novel. I totally recommend that film. ALVARO

I like to watch movies and most time i feel so good cuz it just brings me freshness and lot of new experiences and knowledge.So sometimes i just watch it for fun but still i could learn a lot.Good for us in life,isn't it?lol,have a great day.

A great man once said that we can learn from everything. So movies are fun but some are inspiring and some give answers to questions with no answer.

That's a really nice question you have asked... I feels that it does but talking about negative or positive. It totally depends on you. Whenever I watch any motivational movies, i does things positively. I fills us with positive energy.

If it some kind of inspirational or true story, it would probably change my perception if my perception needed to be changed or to be more open. Sometimes Hollywood also butchers the whole story especially some remakes. I'd have to say overall I watch them for entertainment, mostly action movies, sci-fi, adventure. I don't like romantic movies because it's so full of crappy extensions from romance novels.

hi there well depends on the story being shown to us. if quiet convincing or if you sense it positive effects, why not try the idea to improve us by any means as for our being. surely, in a movie it is being rated depends on a level or type of movie. if the concerning agency required parents to guide the children when they view parental guidance movies, then parents should be there to assist their children and to answer questions being raised by them. for all we know, watching movies have positive and negative views, so we must be careful. movie media has a great influence to our youngsters or even to the society.

Yes movies has a big influence to people to the point that affects to the mind setting of making plans and attitude it might give inspiration,hopes and change view of life a great example if this is my sister before she went to college she had watched the movie legally blonde and she really liked the movie since the character there has the same personality she has thats why she decided to take political science and pursue law and now she's a successful lawyer

movies are a reflection how a society is. if you want to know about a particular society then watch the movies of that society. on the other hand movies also do affect the society but i feel that impact will only be a short lived one. movies cant make long term impact. why i am saying so is because if movies can change the perception of peoples in a society then we how many movies have been released against corruption, against murder, against terrorism,etc. have all these things have stopped occuring. the answer would be a big no. yes if i watch a movie which shows how bad corruption is ruining a society then after watching the movie for few days do to the impact of the movie i will think "oh yes i should not bribe anyone and i should stand as a role model for others" but as time pass buy that feeling disappears from me and i again return to my routine normal life. so the fact of the matter is that. movies do have an impact in the minds of the people but the impact is only short lived.
