Movies that changed my life
There are films that are forgotten immediately after leaving the cinema or turning off the TV. But there is another movie that just blows up your brain and takes your mind to other areas of the Universe. There are films that give you a feeling of peace, joy, showing the true meaning of Being.
Or rather, not even that. Showing that Genesis really has some meaning. Some films, like good books, become your teachers, a real support in life. Such films need to be saved on a hard disk and reviewed many times, just as a believer repeats the same prayer.
Grandfather Aziz (2005)
Bab'aziz
Bab'aziz
This is the main film, a wise Oriental tale, a story about human faith, about destiny and about the path that each of us has. This story has so many plans and subtexts that everyone finds something in him that is close to him. This film is a song to a man who believes and goes. And the image of a dervish who sweeps sand in the desert is a symbol of the value of human labor on earth.
This is consonant with what Solomon said: "I saw all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and longing of the spirit."
Beautiful Green (1996)
La belle verte
La belle verte
This is a stunning film about a different attitude to the planet and the surrounding nature. Perhaps he will show someone another way of realizing relationships in society. And the relationship between people and the planet on which they live.
Matrix (1999-2003)
The matrix trilogy
The matrix trilogy
This is a great movie. And he is great with just one simple thought that runs through the whole film: "Is this the world really, as we see it?" The first viewing of the matrix made a very strong impression on me. We see only a small part of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves, we hear only in a small range, our sense of smell is inferior to the dog. But most importantly: all the information about the world passes through the filters of our mind.
To see new horizons - you need to expand your Mind. This is the main idea of the film.
Avatar (2009)

Avatar
A stunning film in which Cameron was able to create a new fantastic world, shining with a variety of colors and shapes. This is probably the main function of the movie, for it is not in vain that Hollywood is called a dream factory.
But there is another important idea going through the whole movie. This thought is about the unity of our world, about its fine organization and the constant circulation of energy, ideas, information, feelings. Any act or word finds a response in it, even if we ourselves sometimes do not notice it.
One giant leap (2002)
1 Giant Leap
1 Giant Leap
This is a film about us, about human everyday joys and concerns. About those things that bothered a person a thousand years ago and will be relevant in hundreds of years in the distant future.
And against the background of stories about a variety of things that come from the mouths of different people, music sounds. It is different: cheerful and sad, incendiary and meditative. And you begin to understand, despite all the differences between people, but they are all the same very similar.
Wild Field (2008)
The story of a man, a professional, who in spite of everything, despite all the hardships and difficulties, continues to do his job, to do his duty.
The train to Darjeeling. Desperate travelers (2007)
The Darjeeling Limited
The Darjeeling Limited
This film is about how people grow up, about the years of maturity. The Darjeeling Train talks about the journey of the three brothers home, to the source from which they came.
Very smart, touching film that makes you think about a lot.
American Beauty (1999)

A brilliant comedy that once again tells us that we must live here and now. Otherwise it will be just too late. Excellent antidepressant. See “American Beauty” when everything looks gray and dull. It helps.
Cloud Atlas (2012)
Cloud atlas
Cloud atlas
A film that shows the connection between different events, people and eras. If you do not believe in the transmigration of souls - you should look at the Cloud Atlas and maybe you will change your mind.
Mandarins (2013)
Mandariinid
Mandariinid
The most recent and relevant film. A film about the war, about human fates in a war, about how very similar people become mortal enemies, about hatred and its origins. This story tries to give an answer, what we should do and how to conquer fear and hatred in ourselves and look at the world and our enemies with different eyes.
