If you can say a movie has changed how you see life, you obviously haven't lived at all in the first place and have no right to say that a movie has changed anything.
The more i read this, the less it makes sense to me

Jam it back in, in the dark.
Music is a mysterious thing. Sometimes it makes people remember things they do not expect. Many thoughts, feelings, memories... things almost forgotten... Regardless of whether the listener desires to remember or not.

For those more dense - "Cinema never saved anyone's life, it is not a medicine that will save anyone's life. It is only an aspirin." - Luc Besson
That quote's not saying anything different than your first post. It's not that I didn't understand what you're trying to say - just questioning its validity.

It seems reasonable that any information can change one's outlook on life, be it a movie/book/experience/whatever. Not that they all contribute to the same degree, but surely they all do to some extent..wouldn't you say?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh blah blah blah. Question my validity all you want - but questioning a director/screenwriter on it is paramount to you being stupid. "I disagree with what you just said despite the fact that your opinion is in complete agreement with someone who's made many blockbuster films and is a respected person in the field of cinema! What do either of you people know?!"

The idea that a movie can change your life is really, really tough.

1.) MOST PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS AND SHIT FILMS AFFECT THEM

2.) MOST MOVIES ARE NOT SO GREAT TO AFFECT LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE, EQUALING A MARGINAL LEVEL OF CHANGE AMONGST THE POPULACE

You don't have to get all worked up..I'm only questioning, and didn't say you were all out wrong or anything. Perhaps if you elaborate more (which you just did), I might see more clearly where you're coming from.

It's a philosophical issue. I'm not pretending to know even a smidgin of what he knows about film-making, film theory, anything like that. Besides, it's never stupid to question anything. Take things at face value on authority if you wanna, but I'd say that's a bad idea, yeah? Especially when it comes to philosophical issues which can be debated endlessly.

Point 1: Maybe so, but i still think "intelligent" people are just as equally capable of being affected by a film (a non-shit film, perhaps?). Why would anyone watch a movie if it didn't affect them in some way?

Point 2: Agreed. Movies affect individuals in totally different ways, so significant collective trends don't really come up.

No one in this thread is remotely acredited to make a philosophical debate, least of all you.
nice logic.
