/Film reader Derek Stettler has compiled a video titled “Reel Wisdom: Lessons from 40 Films in 7 Minutes,” which does just what it claims. Here is more from the editor:
I made this video because I love films and I think there is great wisdom inherent in the film medium. This video represents some of the best wisdom from films, edited together as a single coherent piece of advice on everything from life, death, and purpose, to anger, regret, and destiny. In creating this video, I tried to feature a broad array of films, from action/adventure and sci-fi films, to dramas and traditional/CG animated films in order to show how all genres of film have something important to say.
Watch the video embedded after the jump. The films used, in order of appearance: Pirates of Silicon Valley Swimming with Sharks The Matrix Star Trek (2009) Ghost Rider Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets The Iron Giant Lions for Lambs The Shawshank Redemption The Matrix Revolutions Dead Poet’s Society Gladiator Troy The Matrix Reloaded Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) The Bucket List The Lion King Forrest Gump Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi Ferris Beuler’s Day Off The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Ratatouille Terminator 2: Judgment Day Catch Me If You Can Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope Batman Begins Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
