here are nine movies that improved my life and I know for a fact they'll improve yours too number one The Matrix The Matrix is a story of a disillusioned hacker named Neo portrayed by Keanu Reeves who finds himself questioning the nature of his reality Guided by the enigmatic Morpheus Lawrence Fishburn Neo discovers that his world is an artificial construct this Revelation unfolds when Neo takes the red pill you take the red pill and I show you how How Deep The Rabbit Hole goes and awakens to the harsh truth humans are used as mere batteries in
a dystopian world no not only is it entertaining as it's probably one of the best choreographed action films of all time but as you get older you realize that the Matrix was on to something by watching The Matrix you will become more aware of the games of power and control going on around you I know this steak doesn't exist I know that when I put it in my mouth The Matrix is telling my brain that it is Juicy and Delicious it's not just an allegory for what's been going on in the world recently it might
actually become literally true with the rise of AI and how scary all that is it actually really gets you thinking about the mind control that Society has enslaved you with marketing narratives propaganda what you see on TV and the internet and how all of that is used to influence the public to do certain things and to live a certain way and if you tend to be the type of person who spends all of their time keeping up with the latest gossip or TV shows and that's the main thing that occupies your mind then after you
watch The Matrix you might shake a lot of that mindset off you may realize that your money your time and your attention is being farmed for someone else's benefit in more ways than you even new possible by watching The Matrix you'll become more resistant to mind control and haphazardly subscribing to beliefs or mindsets that enslave you mindsets that keep you stuck keep you poor keep you distracted from living a life that benefits you and the ones you love watching The Matrix will make you realize that do not try and bend the spoon that's impossible instead
only try to realize the truth truth what truth there is no spoon then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends it is only yourself this all may sound vague but it's impossible to describe what I'm talking about until you take the red pill and you discover just How Deep The Rabbit Hole goes do you see yourself as having any weaknesses number two train spotting train spotting is a gritty exploration of addiction and The Human Condition ition centered around Mark Renton Ean McGregor and his friends in Edinburgh the film paints a stark picture
of heroin addiction capturing the highs and devastating lows of their lives and Sh being Scottish I don't have a very indepth explanation of why you should watch this movie other than the fact that it was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in my life I've watched a lot of different types of movies throughout my 27 soon to be 28 years of existence and there's a strong argument to be made that train spotting is the most disturbing one probably because I saw a lot of myself and my own tendencies in these attics
it made me really really really not want to go down that path the film train spotting is the reason why I tend to show the negative in my videos a lot of the time I'll make tutorials on how to be miserable for the rest of your life life and it's because of films like train spotting that were so effective at making me feel like I just wanted to run away from Life at the bottom by watching train spotting you will be given a hellish Vision to run from you will catch a glimpse into the psychology
of addiction and gain valuable information on how to stay on top of your own thought patterns so you don't end up in this hellish place and I want to reiterate this movie is not for the faint of heart it is a disturbing film but if you can handle that kind of thing it can serve as a potent dose of reverse psychology a big thank you to grammarly for sponsoring this video grammarly is the AI writing assistant that helps everybody write clearer better and faster with grammarly you get personalized writing suggestions based on your goals and

certain vices and the relationship all of that has with my own mortality Dev Patel stars as Sir gain who embarks on a quest to confront the mystical Green Knight a journey that tests his honor bravery and understanding of mortality the film is a visually stunning and philosophically Rich adaptation of the Arthurian Legend now I'm going to say right off the bat the Green Knight was really poorly marketed the trailers made it seem like it was this action packed Arthurian epic that would rival the Lord of the Rings but that's not even remotely close to what
the Green Knight was I watched the Green Knight in theaters with almost my entire family and while most of us were incredibly confused and didn't know what the hell we just watched it did cause one of the longest post-movie discussions we've ever had as a family ever what it reminded me of personally is the Christian concept of dying to oneself enduring pain to die to a former way of being in order to be closer to God now whether or not you come from any kind of religious background this concept is honestly the fundamental structure of
self-improvement whether you like it or not everybody can relate to this idea of clinging to a certain Vice or a certain lifestyle or way of being that is comfortable and the process of growing is almost this process of enduring pain and dying to this older version of yourself you Embrace pain I.E death I.E the green KN that weird being in order to become something greater in order to Be Free Your Existence can feel Freer lighter and more joyful if you learn to Embrace pain and transmute it into something greater now is this exactly what the
Green Knight is all about I have no idea everybody seems to have a different interpretation of it but that's a really fun reason to watch a movie so that you can come out of that movie with your own conclusions once again don't feel like you're watching an action movie it is very slow and it is a thought piece off with your head number four yes man yes man starring Jim Carrey is the story of Carl Allen who decides to change his life by saying yes to every opportunity yes man is probably the weakest film on
this list but it does get you thinking it plays with a novel concept what if you said yes to everything every opportunity in front of you and surprisingly it is one of the best rut busting films by diving into this goo goofy little thought experiment yes man will open your eyes to the reality that a completely different life may just be on the other side of a different response to the situations in front of you by saying yes instead of everything else that you usually say oh this isn't really my thing oh I'm too tired
I don't really feel like it it's like if you just say yes and embrace the discomfort and just shake things up there's a very good possibility that your entire life will open up in ways you never knew possible I know this from experience you probably know this from experience and yes man serves as a brilliant reminder of this fact say yes what the hell let's go for it sometimes we need that kind of energy and yes man provides you with that energy number five hacksaw Ridge hacksaw Ridge tells the true story of Desmond dos this
is a dramatization of a very true event and a very underrated War here hero who actually existed played by Andrew Garfield a conscientious objector who served as a medic during World War II without carrying a weapon doss's unwavering faith and courage are showcased in his heroic efforts to save 75 men during the battle of Okinawa it is definitely corny at times you what my blood need a back well it don't work like that we can't just give it back to you well you got to ever since you stuck me with that needle my heart's been
beating real fast but it's also really violent like just out of nowhere it's a weird mix of PG rated cheesiness but also like heavy R-rated violence when I first watched this movie in theaters I left the theater feeling like I was capable of so much more not in a self-deprecating way you know I didn't hate myself but I felt like I was called for more I feel like I had more strength and more will than I was utilizing it is a heavily inspiring story about the power of Faith the power of resolve the power of
raw human capability when you believe in something higher than yourself hacksaw Ridge will motivate you to be a force for good there's just something always so inspiring about watching or hearing about stories of self-sacrifice where someone puts their life on the line to save other people especially when somebody goes above and beyond and endures great pain and suffering in order to save the lives of other people and this isn't a madeup story again this is a true story of a underrated war hero it just makes the whole thing all the more impactful hacksaw Ridge will
motivate you to be better be stronger to have conviction and be a force for good number six the name is Bond James Bond Casino Royale Casino Royale will improve your life because it will imprint on your mind what a stone cold mother looks like Casino Royale introduces Daniel Craig as James Bond showcasing his first mission as 007 the film follows Bond's development into the iconic spy blending sophistication strategic thinking and intense action the main takeaway for me when I watched Casino Royale when it came out wow it's important to maintain composure if there's one trait
that James Bond has in Spades it's composure no matter what happens he's Stone Cold he's capable he is deadly he's swaave but whether something blows up or a girl is catching his gaze or there's a bad guy whipping his balls he maintains composure he cracks a joke I've got a little itch he has this sort of stoic calm everything is under control I feel like that was really ins inspiring for me as somebody who has a lot of composure in well that sounded self-important but I've always been somebody who doesn't talk a ton I'm not
Mr yapster despite the fact that you probably all know me as somebody who talks a lot but in reality in social situations in my family in friends groups I am actually a little bit quieter I like to listen I like to observe so to see sort of this archetype it was encouraging for me you know I didn't have to be this wacky waving inflatable arm flailing Tube Man in order to be funny or in order to be cool I'm sorry that lost hand near killed me you can be a chiller and that's okay anytime a
piece of art a piece of Cinema gets you thinking a different way or considering different information that in and of itself is beneficial it got you considering things either resolidifying opinions or beliefs that you already have or considering new ones rather than just thinking the same thing all the time because your YouTube homepage keeps you pigeon hold into thinking the same thoughts and doing the same things number seven you shall not pass the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I'm not joking with this one Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings follows froto begans Elijah Wood
and his companions on an Epic Quest to destroy the one ring and defeat the forces of evil the trilogy is a sweeping Saga of friendship loyalty in the battle between good and evil basically I think everybody watching this has seen Lord of the Rings but there's a reason why people say things like I feel like everybody's watched The Lord of the Rings it's because if you are one of those weird freaks who hasn't seen the Lord of the Rings you're either really young and you kind of missed the boat on that or you don't know
what you're missing come on Mr fro I can't carry it for you but I can carry you I feel like the Lord of the Rings is the antidote to iPad kids is because it offers you archetypes it solidifies strong archetypes in your mind you know I feel like kids these days they watch a lot of you know like Roblox gameplay videos but I really think they should watch The Lord of the Rings they're looking for excitement if they're looking for adventure if they're looking for the concept of good triumphing over evil then you have to
watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy it amazes me every time I think about it that it even exists movies don't get made like this anymore but either way yeah just watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy there's a reason why everybody tells you to do that so go do it I wish none of this had happened so do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us number eight The Social Network The
Social Network dramatizes the creation of Facebook by Mark Zucker played by Jesse Eisenberg and the ensuing legal and personal conflicts the film captures the intense drive and Innovation behind the tech Giant's Inception you don't think I deserve your attention you have part of my attention you have the minimum amount the main thing that the social network makes you want to do is basically invent Facebook it makes you want to just keep your head down stay laser focused on something build something that is popular build something that people use and build something that goes viral I
play The Social Network soundtrack when I'm writing when I'm building things even if it's just Ikea furniture the soundtrack slaps and it makes you be productive you will have no choice but to be productive to plug yourself in to build something substantial and take over the world and you might say Joey people taking over the world is the problem with the world I would counter there's not enough people wanting to take over the world Maybe May there should be more resistance and more people wanting to take over the world so that the people who are
taking over the world have some competition if you're watching this video if you're a better ideas viewer then I want you to take over the world instead of Mark Zuckerberg go for it get inspired by his tale and try to learn from it go plug yourself in go build something from the ground up as long as you invite me onto your yacht number nine It's a Wonderful Life It's a Wonderful Life is a Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life follows George Bailey played by James Stewart as he contemplates suicide only to be shown by an
Angel what the world would be like without him this heartwarming tale underscores the value of individual lives and the impact one person can have on others by the end of the movie I I choke up and if you're going through a rough time in life and you want to be reminded but the value that you have and the role that you play to the people around you to the world that you live in It's a Wonderful Life will remind you of just that I think that's just an important thing to be reminded of on a
regular basis and I hope that you watch some of these movies and that you feel really good and inspired and rejuvenated and life improved after watching them
