10 Things Movies Taught Us as Kids Which School Couldn’t
6. Coincidences happen
Movies are the best teachers when it comes to building the belief that coincidences happen. From meeting the love of your life in a music or book shop to meeting your ex in the same restaurant where you first proposed her, movies can tell you that these kinds of things can happen in real life too. More than that, they also prepare you for what can follow next!
7. Planning surprises
When guys plan lavish surprises for girlfriends in movies, they give ideas to a lot of men in the audience, and also raise the expectations of a lot of women in the audience! From romantic proposals to grand birthday parties, movies teach us all about planning the best surprises for our loved ones in a grand style.
8. Making eye contact
In real life, you are often too scared to make eye contact with your crush. However, movies teach you how to give those mushy looks and maintain those romantic eye contact moments with your crush, while everything else seems to move in slow motion! It sounds cheesy, but let’s admit that we’ve all wanted to experience wind blowing and some musical instrument playing while we look into the eyes of our lover!
9. Cool one-liners
School can teach you all the theories and scientific or mathematical formulae right. But only movies can teach you cool one-liners that help you to be a hit conversation starter at parties, or makes you a great person to hang out with. Movie buffs particularly like people who make use of cool one-liners in their conversations, especially when they are inspired from the best of films.
10. Thinking out of the box
Books kept us confined in some way, and our extra-curricular activities were our only respite from them. However, movies opened a whole new world for us, talking of interesting inventions, parallel universes, fantasylands and a lot more. They inspired us to create and think of things that were extraordinary and new. Perhaps, they are right when they say that film lovers end up becoming filmmakers, artists, writers, storytellers and a lot more.
Movies indeed have a very special place in our lives. Of course, each person likes different films and different genres. But regardless of what films we like, they do shape our thinking in some way or the other, and teach us interesting things however old we may be.
