Ask Your Question today
We all watched movies and television shows most of which have a conflict and resolution a hero and a villain. My question is have any of those movies affected your life in any way? such as way you handle certain situation all around general thinking. Did the movies and television shows you watched as a child influence the way you live your life in anyway? what movie or television show?
I remember watching Dragon Ball Z as a kid and there was a scene in the Ocean Dub where Goku turns down a beer and has a "sports drink" instead. I stayed away from beer in my teen years because of that. It wasn't until years later I actually did try a few alcoholic drinks and Goku no longer influenced me. It was the horrific taste of the beverages that made me not ant to drink them. lol
I think both TW3 and the Smothers Brothers (think John Stewart/Bill Maher) shows taught me that it was OK to doubt and even ridicule government policy publicly. Neither show lasted, mainly because of government pressure, but while they aired, the US was a little better place.
I think it has affected my accent. I've moved around the UK a lot, Wales, England, Scotland. Never left the UK. However somehow, to some, I have a posh American accent. So I'm guessing American TV has effected my accent.
Other than that I can't say it has effected me in any way I know of.
Exactly - influence is a pretty broad and vague term. I don't think I was inspired to alter my character or make any major life choices because of TV/film, but obviously my life has been impacted in minor ways because of it.
Example.. example.. hmm... well, TV shows that I used to love as a kid really shaped my early views of society and give me strong nostalgic feelings today.
I love DDR! (Everyone: of course you do, Koda..)
