Really shows how things can be. Really makes you want to cry after watching it.
No movie has changed my life, because I live in the world of reality, not in dreams. I like movies, of course, and there are some movies that I love, but none changed my life in any way.
Not all movies are dreams, they're are real stories in movies.True stories have always influenced my life such as:Coach CarterFriday Night LightsI would say Coach Carter has changed my life because I learned how important school is for a student athlete. I think that's an excellent message.

Rebound "A dramatization of the life of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault (Don Cheadle), with a lot of factual based occurrences. A reformed junkie returns from prison to clean up his act and devote the rest of his life to the young kids of Harlem. 1996 was the 25th anniversary of the first tournament named after him."So sad, I have NEVER tried any drugs because of this.
How about I just finished watching Scarface for the first time, and I have to say it was one of the biggest letdowns of my life. Everyone plays that movie to be one of the greatest things ever made, but in reality it's imply a good movie. FAR from great, and while I can see why each and every scene was inserted, 2:50 is a little extreme

I watched the 1st 30 Minutes, and 10 minutes of a seperate scene, and I can honestly say that I did not crack a smile the entire time. That is the stupidest movie I've ever seen
American history xdidnt change my life, but it gave me a totally different perspective on racism, etc. actually, in a way it sorta did change my life.
