what is first step

[@colton7373]

@@madast9857 The first step is to know God. one big problem we have is our sin, which means we deserve to die, but God has provided a gracious solution to this issue: God sent His own son, Jesus into the world to the place of us guilty sinners. Jesus never sinned. He felt no guilt. His conscience was clear before God. Since Adam, there has never been another man like Jesus who did all things pleasing to God. In every way, at all times, without exception, He pleased His Father, whereas we have displeased Him. Yet Jesus did not come just to give us an example. He came to be our substitute-to take the place of us sinners-and bear the punishment for all sin. At the end of His righteous life, He voluntarily died, as if He were the sinner. He took your sin upon himself and died in your place-in the place of all sinners. Forgiveness does not come through the church or through its leaders. Only God can forgive, and he is ready to forgive all who will believe and receive his forgiveness. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” 1 John 1:9

There are so many scenes in the first half of this movie alone where you see Walter engage in behavior that is so reflective of someone that’s struggling with life itself only for the movie show you that the only thing you really need in situations like that is to embrace the surrounding chaos and ride the wave. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[@AudioEpics]

Entertainment can be really inspiring, especially when it's not trying to moralize or shove lessons down our throats too much and just tries to tell a good story first and foremost.

[@roc5291]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to this day is the most inspired movie for me. Really made me think about the trajectory of our lives and the decisions we make. How people who start off as complete strangers end up having such a huge impact on who we are today. How at times, we have complete control and at times, we have zero control of our lives and we just need to find the balance between the two. How, where we are today is a result of what we did a year ago. Where we will land a year from now will be the result of what we do today. The quote from the film that has always stayed with me is: “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. And If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again”.

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

Seriously, more importantly because Kevin Reynolds I feel has gotten one of the worst damn deals, he’s a pretty damn good filmmaker. Or at least decent. The Beast of War is among my favourite movies, and one of the best war movies, i mean the subject matter alone is unique for a big Hollywood flick, let alone an english-language film. But more importantly is such a masterclass in editing, pacing, absolute thrills, using visuals while also having that element of theatre-adaptation in the very functional efficient dialogue and characters I mean he did make Waterworld, all that money and a lot of work and ppl just endlessly shit on it

[@chwb99]

[@Ace1King1]

@@chwb99 I found it strange that no names were mentioned. No actors, no actresses, no producers, directors, etc. My opinion is this is "woke" censorship based on the unpopularity of the main actor among the radical left due to a recent appearance in a movie they seriously object to. If this is true...and let me know if it's not...then I find it extremely disgusting.

Highly recommended.

I would also add Little Miss Sunshine to this list. I watch that movie whenever I need a big emotional pick-me-up. It's absolutely brilliant, especially from the second half where all the characters start to grow, and then when it ends with them dancing together it's just magical. It reminds you to enjoy the little things in life and to find that joy in what really matters, not in what we perceive that matters. I personally think it's Steve Carrell's best role, and that's saying something.

[@Garrus1995]

I have a hard time with the final act of that movie because of the beauty pageant. Seeing all those young girls paraded around like that just felt gross. I honestly don’t understand how child pageants are a real thing. The whole idea just seems so icky.

[@fibonaccifanzeroviews7839]

[@ROI684]

Yes!!! I absolutely adore the deep layers of this film. Mainly about the unfairness in life, how's everyone has their own limits and starting points and you shouldn't make your life a beauty contest against others. It's also very much about healthy realitionship with failures and how to heal from them & finding comfort. It's also extremely fun to watch, it's kinda harsh theme doesn't make the film heavy - it's funny, heartwarming, has great characters and dynamics between them, ups & downs though all of the script. It's also an effective critic of the American hustling culture and the fakeness of it. It's also brilliantly directed - some really clever examples of the direction: the use of the stucked Van pushed by the family, the use of the horn to create stress, Dwayn's mental breakdown with him knocking his head on the Van's doors, the shot of Dwayn's run down from the van with his scream with the family watching him from the above. The use of the beauty contest metaphor, the final dancing scene. The attention to little details. It's just went over most people's heads Personally, it's my favorite movie and the standard of what i believe films should aspire to be

I went through a phase were I was kinda depressed in college and watched a ton of coming of age dramas. The Way Way Back was great. A few similar ones I'd recommend are Mud, The Spectacular Now, Place Beyond the Pines, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Mid90s, and Edge of Seventeen

[@gavinr9107]

Seen all of those bro. Great movies! Somewhat of my favourite genre too.

[@MattKyleBullerthemattkylefiles]

please continue and thank you for keeping the video length digestible

[@shepirate]

Your #1 movie changed my life. I took it a step further and watched Abernathy's TED talk. What he taught me turned my finances around to the upside, in a big way! The rest of your picks are excellent! Thank you!

[@grannyboy8695]

You should definitely continue the series. I've only watched Catch Me if You Can and Crazy Stupid Love out of all the 8, some of my recommendations would be: Men of Honor Rudy Pursuit of Happyness Rocky 1 A beautiful Mind Whiplash Unbroken October Sky

[@ajtaylor8750]

Films that improved my life include: Dead Poets Society, Fight Club, Before Sunset/Sunrise/Midnight, Lady Bird, Blues Brothers, and Lost in Translation. The Before trilogy taught me that when it comes to love and relationships, it's about wanting to make them work and that if it's meant to be you and that person will naturally find your way back to that person.

Thanks for sharing brother..

[@mwild3872]

Just read "Dead pets society" and was like wth is this movie about, then I reread it

[@pioneeringworks]

Love them all. But the Lady Bird one... get out of here!

[@BH-ix7nq]

After i saw your mention of the "before" series, I knew you knew what you were talking about. I looked them all up after that!

[@jishnukvishnu1026]

@@BH-ix7nq what is it about

[@digitalduch1111]

I would like to add "Lapland Odyssey" to that list. It's a finnish roadmovie of a loserguy, who must get a digital-reciever for his girlfriend (otherwise they breakup), and has one unexpected adventure after another. In the end he (and his 2 friends) are not the same persons anymore. This movie always motivates me to continue chasing my goals when I'm about to give up. Highly recommended!

[@thechimpyone]

Crazy stupid love helped me out enormously. For the very reasons you pointed out. Glad to see it on this list. Be better that the Gap!

[@oddurjustinussen3542]

Yes, continue series!

[@feuerrm]

Yes please continue! I love movies and this video have me a few more to check out

[@howie15]

Unique and interesting video! Great thought provoking content as usual. I'm glad you threw in Count of Monte Cristo, it's one of my personal favorites!

[@tomrenegadefilms]

Some bangers on this list. And some I'd never heard of so that's some new (old) movies going on my watchlist - particularly interested in watching The Count of Monte Cristo, that looks awesome! Definitely up for another episode of this 👌🏼

[@Jer5Cat]

The Way Way back is a favorite of mine, happy to see you showing it the love it deserves

[@srilax01]

We need a part 2 ! Watched it so many times and still can’t get enough of it.

[@The_Real_Dream_Chaser]

This was cool, cant wait for part 2

[@anAwesomeNameHere]

Please continue the series. And I hope Secret Life of Walter Mitty will also be included in future lists, for me, it's like a cold shower after a long day. Thank you so much for introducing the movies Limitless and The Way Way Back

[@georgewodicka4839]

Sam Rockwell deserved an Oscar for "The Way Way Back". Low-key absolutely rewatchable classic. A case study in the family dynamic, from a funny and poignant angle.

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

Napoleon Dynamite over Elf. Teaches you not to give up believing in yourself when you don’t fit in your surroundings and also having your friend’s back when they need it. Good list and video

[@coffeecrusader4863]

The Equalizer opened my eyes to the very simple lesson of how much simple acts of kindness and being friendly to everyone can have long term effects. Very simple lesson but the film really put it into perspective

[@Doddom]

Let's Take a Grateful Moment to Appreciate Joey and His Efforts for us 🌸

[@eronnhs6614]

Yeah! Thank you Joey for your Elforts 🌸

[@flickering_wick]

Great list and terrific explanations. The only one I haven't seen is Way Way Back, which I'll check out. I really like how some of your choices aren't obviously life changing (Limitless, Crazy Stupid Love, Catch Me if You Can) but you really explained well what can be gleaned from those movies as inspiration. Not so sure about Elf being in the list, but even if it doesn't motivate self-improvement, I guess it's something you need to watch anyway 😂

[@veelociraptor]

Ah, yes! The Count of Monte Cristo was a DVD I got on sale from Blockbuster... and then watched every single week for a year. Great list, love all these movies.

[@JRBeast-nw3xg]

You know what movie that changed my life Fences staring Denzel Washington. It taught me that how you grew up defines who you are and how your life is moving forward even by a troubled past and you can teach others to not fully be and live like you did but can’t help teaching them the only way you know how through your past. It’s a very powerful movie that deals with many emotions of fear, grief, suffering. Idk I highly recommend it. Also Nomadland that one was very impactful too

[@cr370]

Great insite, simple explanation but meaningful, helpful and inspiring.. Please make more movie reviews - current movies and classics. Very appreciated. Thank you.

[@tallefjant]

Really liked that you included Elf on the list haha! Silly/funny movies can also improve your life. Sometimes you just need a little good vibes in your life to improve your current perspective of things..A movie doesn't have to be complex or dark to be really good. Superbad, Bad Neighbors and Elf are examples of that. Even though a movie like First Man might be a "better" movie, a funny movie such as Superbad might improve your life-situation just as much

[@sallyjune4109]

I love the crazy party in the mail room. I think about that a lot.

[@393Nestor]

The 8 that would be in my list are: Hector and the search for happiness, The secret life of Walter Mitty, About a boy, It’s kind of a funny story, Howl’s moving castle, The breakfast club, Rocky, As good as it gets

[@jimboozie962]

would like to hear what the other 8 movies are!

[@paulthibedeau4529]

LOVED the Count of Monte Cristo! Also, for me it was City Slickers. The path (literally and figuratively) that these guys take during their cattle run was so fun to watch, and changed their lives forever.
