Life Lessons
Besides being entertaining, we think that movies can teach us a lot about life. So in addition to our in-depth movie reviews and our monthly movie podcast, here we unpack some of the things we’ve learnt from a selection of films we love, with our film life lessons series.
Movies wouldn’t truly be art if they did not in some way reflect true life; and sometimes, by reflecting what’s real, we we can learn a thing or two from the movies we watch.
Now we’re not expecting to learn a deeper meaning from the latest Transformers film, or some random B-grade movie that’s all about shooting and punching, but there are a lot of films out there with simple truths and lessons that we can learn.
Sometimes the lesson is interesting, sometimes deep, and sometimes the life lesson is funny. We’ve got a good selection here at the BTG Lifestyle Movie Blog, so feel free to browse.
