How does life define us? Or How do we define life? Well, it turns out that there is no such definition. It’s our perspective towards it which defines it. But somehow 90% of us share the same view. Most of us here live to survive. There are a very few people who have challenged the general concept of life and made a difference. But this still leaeves us unaware of its real meaning and purpose. What if we live in a false concept of life. What if it’s just a dream we live in not the reality. This sounds weird, but it is possible.

Into The Wild

We are born alone but with time we surround ourselves with emotions. We get attached to people, places, things, etc. Every step of us gets lured by these emotions. Our genuine desire gets diluted. In other words, we just seize ourselves with these unnecessary attachments. This movie acts as a force against such emotions.
A young college graduate gives up all worldly things and goes all alone into the wilderness of Alaska to understand the gift of life. His journey into the wilderness reveals all the concealed and real purpose of life. The moment he submits himself to the lap of nature, Nature opens up the never seen beauty of it. He struggles to get food and to survive which brings out the real person of him.
To measure ourselves, at least once we need to put ourselves in the most ancient of human conditions, facing the blind, deaf stone alone with nothing to help you but your hands and your head.
Although he dies of starving, his death is 1000 times better than our imprisoned life.
This is not a fictional movie. It is based on the true story of Christopher Johnson McCandless.

The Matrix

” What is real? How do you define real? If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then ‘real’ is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain “ – Morpheus
Well, matrix released back in 1999. You may laugh in some of its animated scenes because of its poor quality but when it comes to the concept, you just can’t handle it.
Our life is a matrix. We are a slave. The world we live in is just a stimulation of our brain. The real world is no less than hell. We are slaved to do a particular task. We are no more on our own. But there is hope.
Morpheus is one of the characters who build an army by bringing people back to the reality to fight against the evil. He wants to set all the caged people free.
This movie also reveals the infinite potential of human being. Since everything we feel is just stimulation, so there is no point of pain and fear. And once you overcome fear you can do anything you want. You just need the realization.
