The man in the white suit 1951
I have some routine (not sure what to call it) where I take a context (by lack of better words) then work backwards.
This topic had me wonder what great lessons or insights in (my) life have not at all been captured by any movie. What followed was like an eruption of great movie ideas. What each movie really needs is at least one amazing plot twist. Nothing really accomplishes that the way changing the viewers perception of life does.
Ill do a crude example but it probably doesn't do justice to the raw idea.
I discover one day that you can always increase your spending to match your income and at the end of your money have a chunk of month left.
I discover that selling your brain in a job leaves your free time without one.
I also discover one day that physical activity is not optional.
I talk with a very successful business man who one day discovered that his chair in front of the TV is only a few meters away from his car and that his personal parking spot is only a few meters from his personal office. After some 30 years he had to walk 150ish meters to the other end of the building and was absolutely exhausted. Only then he realized he didn't get any physical activity at all.
One could forge a plot from that where the protagonist progresses from wealth, a highly successful career, weak and depressed all the way to a shit physical job with crappy pay. The villa, the cars, the credit card wife, the fake friends, it all has to go. Why internet if one can read books. Why drive if one can walk in the rain?
