the motion picture and my life



~~396 words~~
Movies have always had an exceptional impact on my life. They give us a false sense of reality through fabricated truths about love, social norms, and intensified violence. Movies make us believe the lie, the impossible. Movies give me something to dream about at night and wake me up at 4 AM to watch the last scene just one more time.

The Film that changed my perspective about living life, in general, was The Wolf of Wall Street, based on a true story this film has everything a person can ask for. A Three-hour long sequence of brilliantly processed and refined clips of a stockbroker in New York struggling through life to make his way to achieve the American dream. All this guy wants is money.

The film shows the consequences of excess.
The character clearly points out that "I live this lavish life and I make sure my workers see it because I want them to aspire to the life I have, it drives them." In the same sense, this movie drives its audience. When I saw the first-half of the movie, it made me want to start a company myself for real.

In this movie the antagonist is the bad guy, he steals the money from others and puts it in his pocket but despite his contemptible behavior, the viewer and I still want him to succeed. Perhaps it's the innate human propensity to live vicariously through others. He is doing the wrong thing, but this masterpiece shows that success is more important than the way of achieving it.

The movie shows the real grind and the proves that "if you want something and you are not born with it, then you can work for it to get it" It shows how even the impossible can be achieved only if you put your heart and soul into building something. In the final shot, the movie holds up a mirror to its audience by showing a bunch of average people, hopelessly searching for answers. In this moment, all the complicated feelings the viewer has about antagonist are redirected back at the viewers themselves, because by consuming the movie, we put money in the pockets of the man who went to jail for stealing their money.

As always, humans did no scams of any sort but experienced everything by nothing else but a motion picture.

Nirvigna, don't narrate the movie to the reviewer. He already knows what the movie is about and what aspects of the film make it a stand out in terms of cinematography, photography, screenplay, etc. Instead, focus on the parts of the movie that helped you to create an understanding of life. You said the film is about the consequences of excess. How did you come to that conclusion? Involve a discussion of specific scenes in the film that carry the lesson you want to share with the reviewer. What happens when you lead an excessive lifestyle at the expense of others? That is the question you should be delivering a response to in the essay because that question directly relates to the "way you look at the world" part of the prompt instructions. Refocus your response and your word count will be sure to meet the limitations this time around.
