I don’t
want to be a fictional character. They all receive crazy accolades, act
egotistical, and have too many problems to count. That just sounds terrible.
Why not just live in the real world?
But, I will tell you what movie I apply most into my real life: The Godfather. No, I’m not a part of a large Italian family business that murders people; I just realize how many blunt, yet true lessons that movie teaches. Take the opening scene, for example. After being asked to give justice to two abusive boys, Don Vito Corleone gives a response that had a huge influence on me. “I can’t remember the last time you invited me to your house for coffee though my wife is godmother to your only child…You spurned my friendship…and you do not ask with respect.”
Don’t take shit from people who don’t respect you. Value the friendship of people. Not a day goes by where I don’t keep these lessons at the top of my mind. So in some regards, I want to be Don Vito Corleone.
On a side note, I watched the movie because my grandfather told me to watch it, and to take to heart the messages it tells you. Just the fact that he was the one who told me to watch it is probably why the movie is so important to me.
