Discussion Name any one fiction which change your world view totally and had a big impact on you.

For me it would be the Legend of the Galactic Heroes ova the way it tackles so many different subjects beautifully through the use of its two equally charismatic and conflicted protagonists and various other characters really added so much depth into it.

Lord of the Flies. Like everybody else, I was assigned this book in school and didn't expect much. I have not yet found another purely fictional story that so well captures mankind's capacity for cruelty as this one. I am open to suggestions. I am not well-read by any stretch.

As far as its impact on me, maybe I am cheating here because it did not really change my outlook on life. It was less like seeing through a telescope and more like gazing into a mirror. I would have liked to speak to Golding were he still alive. That book is so much more than an allegory about war.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Terminator 1+2.

 

[ghost_]

the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"

 

[bascketKase]

definitely matrix... it kind of made me think about our reality and got me into this line of though

It depends on the media, but theres a lot of things to choose from. A good piece of art teases some parts of the brain for a while, making the blight of ctb thoughts a Tiny bit more bearable. I havent really read much for the past 3 months, though xd.

Movies: Synecdoche, New York.
Tv shows: Mr Robot
Books: Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
Games: elf-evident Disco Elysium ;d

Its not like ive felt like a completely changed Man after consuming those titles or that I'm necessarily sophisticsted. Nevertheless i cant stop thinking about them and tend to often overfixate while mentioning them, heh.

Generation War. No matter what side you are on, you'll be fucked up really bad, and all because of the power hungry elites. I think that the next world war we should send the elites to fight instead of young people with dreams and goals ahead.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Best book l've ever read. Liked it so much l paid £70 for a 1st print Hardback on eBay!

 

[deathLiberation]

All the dystopian futurology stuff.
And i now i hope i havent read them because i cant get back to my old self.

Not even going to name them, but most known stuff...

 

[GenesAndEnvironment]

Religious text that made me scared of Hell.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Probably the most influential piece of media for shaping my opinions has been South Park, which probably isn't a good thing but oh well.

 

[WrongPlaceWrongTime]

Planet of the Apes (1968)

Great to see someone else who has watched LOGH.

 

[$nowLeopard]

Berserk manga, A Bronx Tale

 

[ascetic_]

True Detective. Rust Cohle had me in a chokehold for like two years straight.
