Has a movie, book, game or song ever changed your life?

Here are some works that have changed the way I think.

American Beauty (movie, 1999, by Alan Bell)
Final Fantasy VIII (game, 1999, by Square)
Edward Scissorhands (movie, 1990, by Caroline Thompson)
Beautiful (song, 2003, by Christina Aguilera)
Fighter (song, 2003, by Christina Aguilera)
Revenge of the Sith (book, 2005, by Mathew Stover)

A Christina Agulira song changed your life? 😂

Fur Elise(song, Beethoven, sixteenth century)
Prayer(song, Disturbed, 2003)

If you're life was changed by FF VIII and Christina Aguilera, you're pretty ****ed up.

Hmmmm. Not sure, but there is couple of books I feel distinctly richer for having read...

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
Catch 22 by Joseph Heller
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
War and Peace (well, not really richer, but at least I can say I read it) by Tolstoy

Hmmm. Music? Far to many pieces to list, not sure any really changed my view completely, but still some vital pieces out there.

You know it's a cover, right?

I wouldn't say any song or anything has actually changed my life, persay, but The Grudge by Tool and Be Yourself by Audioslave certainly had a significant impact on me. Great songs.

You can learn about life and the universe from the most unexpected sources.

Star Wars made me a geek...does that count?

True.

Walker Texas Ranger taught me if I take karate I can beat off 20 attackers and dodge any bullet shot at me like Chuck Norris does. Does that count?

DANG YOU!!! I almost had that stupid show completely erased from my memory until now

The Once and Future King, a book by TH White.

Age of Empires 2, first thing that got me interested in history.

I would have to say my Junior year history book just because it made me want to be a history teacher but I chose to be a mechanic instead.

To Kill a Mockingbird was a GREAT book...
the Da Vinci Code also made me look at things differently...and I don't mean question my religion LOL 😄

All's Quiet on the Western Front also had a big impact on me.

I can't pick a song that has changed my life, there have been a couple.

Lateralus by Tool, Parabol/Parabola by Tool, Third Eye by Tool etc.

-AC

I can't think of any movie book or game or song that has.JM
