Some movies spark a new line of thinking among the viewers. If directed and acted according to what should be worth watching, movies have this quality to urge people to think in a creative manner.
Here is the writer’s list of a few thought provoking movies that one should watch to learn new things.
THE INVENTION OF LYING
The film is about that time when people did not lie to each other. If he was angry with someone, he had the courage to tell it to his face.
People had the audacity to tolerate one another. There was no sign of hatred. Everything was going well and smooth and it was like could not be better scenario.
It was a perfect world for the inhabitant. But then, one person utters the world’s first lie. From there on, the story of the movie takes a new turn.
The movie describes how lies have become normalized in the present age.
It paints in no uncertain manner that how brutally the world’s first liar shaped the world for the worse.
The movie on this list that would unlock the viewers’ brain is undoubtedly "Invention of Lying".
DAY SUNSET LIMITED
Consider a room with just two people who hold absolute contrary views to each other.
But instead of behaving violently, they start arguing and try to win over the other through debate.
The manner of debate is lively. One is the atheist and the other is religious person.
This movie would teach the viewers, if not anything else, the manners of discussion.
I ORIGINS
Some say eye is the most beautiful gift of Almighty. It is through these tiny, but extremely vital, body parts that one sees the wonders of the world created by God.
But in the movie which is considered among the best in 'science vs faith' genre, an atheist is shown who is hell-bent on proving that there is no God. “I will grant that there is no such thing as God in this world," he says.
However, his life takes a new turn when he meets a religious girl. And so begins the never-ending beautiful debate, "Is God or not?"
AGORA
What would have happened when a teacher taught her scientific beliefs to students when Christianity was on the rise?
The manner in which she was targeted was hideous. The movie shows the gruesome, painful and heart-wrenching story.
It is about a dreadful face of society that you are not familiar with.
