I have long been a believer in the power of films to transform the way we think and over the years have been particularly moved by just a small number of them which will remain a part of my consciousness always. It is my absolute pleasure to share these films with you now because if you don't already know them, you have some real treats in store 😉
Into the Wild
An emotive true story about self named Alex Supertramp (Christopher McCandles), a young man who feels out of place in the world he has grown up in, so he sets out on an instinctive journey to discover it for himself. Accompanied by Eddie Vedder's haunting soundtrack, the film connects us with the perfection of nature and helps us raise questions about this modern world.
Alex meets many people on his journey to Alaska and through these simple relationships we are shown the true power of humanity. With an unconventional storyline, non-hollywood ending & one liners worth remembering, this film is bound to impact you deeply.
Peaceful Warrior
Based on another true story (all the best ones are!) this film follows the life of Olympian Dan Millman who meets an elderly man at a gas station and adopts him as his spiritual guide. His arrogance leads to conflict and after a horrific motorbike accident all hope appears lost for the upcoming competition.
The irrefutable power of NOW is illustrated though a series of quirky lessons which are fun to observe and easy to remember. Rich with wisdom this film is must see for the newly emerging spiritual mind.
Cloud Atlas
With an ensemble cast of top actors this epic tale spans centuries in an audio visual spectacular which needs to be watched more than once to fully appreciate its brilliance. The eternal nature of the human soul is demonstrated by using the same actors to play different roles (sometimes different sexes) at different times in history, showing us how the soul is always learning from each physical interaction with the world. That's a white Halle Berry you can see beneath.
It also examines the idea that when two souls fall in love they will always be drawn towards each other no matter what physical form they take.
Foreign Language Film
There are so many great ones it isn't easy to select just one. Due to my current location in France I have gone with a French film, relatively unknown but highly worth the watch.
La Belle Verte
A humorous yet damning appraisal of the world we live in, seen through the eyes of a woman visiting from another planet where humans live in harmony. As someone who has not been to Earth before she is shocked by what she finds and decides to awaken selected people to assist on her journey.
Brilliantly insightful and witty this film shows us the absurdity of modern life while contrasting it with a beautiful vision of how it could be.
Best documentaries?
In the next part of this series I will take a look at my top three documentaries. I may have to extend the list to five for this as there are so many brilliant ones.
Blessings to you all from France ⛅️
