Big Fish
Now this movie is fictional in so many ways but in the movie, it appears to be true. This story is about a young man and the story of his d***g father. His father had a lot of experiences and a lot of stories to tell, and that is the content of the movie. This movie teaches us that our parents, or family, is the treasure that we seek in this universe. A lot of lessons and a lot of realizations with the stories but the main jock of the story, is well, love your family.
Moral: A lot of lessons throughout the movie, love your family like it’s the last time you will see them because you never know God’s plan.
500 Days of Summer
At the beginning of the movie, it was relayed onto us that it is not a love story – most probably, that’s a lie. You see, this movie entails a year and a few months of being with Summer. Yes, Summer is the girl in the movie and it is an entire movie of rollercoasters. The movie teaches us that when we fail in love, it is not the end of the world. The last part of the movie, where Zooey Deschanel (Summer), finally lets go of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is extremely a painful scene but after a while, when Tom (Joseph), finally moves on from that experience, coincidentally meets a new girl and in the movie she is named Autumn – how is that for symbolic reference?
Moral: The world will not always agree with our plans, it is not the end of the world when we are declined. Think positively.
These are the top movies for me and I hope you get the chance to watch them. There are a lot of movies out there that can teach lessons but these for me, are golden. Stay tuned for more articles like this! Remember, “the odds are not always in your favor.”
