Herein is the latest installation of my series about learning lessons from various media. If you're playing the home game, drink if you agree. This is a sequel to my previous posts on this topic - Part 1 and Part 2.
Wreck-It Ralph taught me that I need to stay in my lane. Don't try and be better or anything other than what you are - the moment you try, you've fucked it. ...that's a double-edged sword.
Say Anything taught me that music can convey just about anything better than regular old words can. Especially when delivered personally. Via nineties-era boom-box.
Dog Day Afternoon taught me that love can drive people to extraordinary lengths. And body counts.
Gremlins taught me that stairlifts are very, very dangerous.
Civilization V taught me that as long as you are charismatic enough, anyone will help you, unless you CURSE YOU GHANDIIIIIIII
Die Hard taught me a great way to deal with jet alg and various other minor discomforts and maladies. Seriously, try the grabbing-the-floor thing. It genuinely works.
Inception taught me that I should ignore all of those ridiculous motivational posters telling me to Follow Your Dreams.
Pokemon: The First Movie taught me that all it takes for people to realise that conflict is wrong is to notice the effect it has on two people.
Gone In Sixty Seconds taught me that there is literally no car on earth sexier than a 1967 Mustang with a V8 engine.
The Great Dictator taught me that it's not the people that talk a lot that really deserve listening to - it's the ones that talk so rarely that you know they have something to say.
The Star Wars Prequels taught me that you should just watch the original trilogy. Also that it's far more okay to murder Sand People babies than non-Sand People kids.
Mad Max: Fury Road taught me who killed the world. It also taught me that being witnessed can be very important.
Terminator 2 taught me that even carrying a minigun won't make a white man seem as threatening as an unarmed black man to the authorities.
Pixels taught me to never trust Adam Sandler, and also to just watch Wreck-It Ralph again.
Yet again...more will follow in the future.
I was looking for some famous expressions for my creative brief. I find it rather interestinfg and original to write an interesting content for creative brief writing.
