Great Movies Worth your Time


These are some of my favorite movies, you'll notice they all have philosophical tones that question reality, what makes up a human, and the complexity of relationships. Enjoy!
2046: A deep dive into a futuristic sci-fi dream world where the characters are lost in their memories, always trying to relive original memories
Eternal Summer: This Taiwanese movie takes you along a journey beside the two primary characters, 2 best guy friends, as they grow up together, and later are involved with the same girl, and yet have their own emotions for each other.
Ghost In the Shell: Innocence: The second movie in the GITS installation, Innocence uses a heavy amount of philosophy. The characters makeup a secret government organization called 'Section 9' The characters question their own existence, meaning, and what makes a human human to name a few.
Inception: I'm very critical towards American movies, however this breaks the mold. See this in the IMAX, its totally worth it. Twisted and psychologically complex, Inception takes you into the world of dreams, it explores, in a small degree (nothing too mentally challenging)how ideas come about, and how our brain deciphers whether an idea is an original inspiration or "planted."
