Day 7- Movies?? Hmmm....

Day 7: a show or a movie that has changed you, and how

I've been thinking over this one.  There isn't any one movie that stood out to me really.  I thought about Disney Princess Movies and how they screw up anyone's view of romance and give the whole 'I'm-a-princess" mentality to little girls.  As you have your heart broken and see the pestilence in the world, it slowly changes and realizations because more realistic.

Then I thought about the oldest movie I could think of (that I saw new)- Roger Rabbit, which scarred me for life when I cried hysterically for destroying the baby cartoony shoe.  This ties with American Tale when I got scared when they destroyed the robot bad guy thing toward the end.

I thought about disregarding movies and talking about Sailor Moon- which was my favorite show as a kid.  While it still screws up your view on romance (because a woman is supposed to be a homemaker and make herself pretty for her man) it also shows the need to be strong, stand on your own, and be patient because the only person who truly got a man in the whole series was the lead character.  I also liked that it was the first movie I ever watched entirely in a different language.  The comparisons between the dubbed series and the original Japanese was an eye-opener.

Finally (trying to think newer), I could only think of Hostel 2- the only rated R movie I ever voluntarily saw.  Being scared to death, and having stayed in a hostel before, I had decided to never give in to peer pressure even if it cost me a friendship (I was asked to choose between an R movie or going drinking for his birthday and those were my ONLY choices because I HAD to do something).  Then I thought 'screw it', I haven't been affected by any movies, ever....
