Works of fiction that changed you?

Postby Sanghyeok » Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:18 pm

As title says, what are some works of fiction that changed you or influenced you heavily? For me, I think Kiki's Delivery Service was one of them, as was Sailor Moon and Madoka Magica. All of them had an effect on my character and worldview for some time or even to this day.
どんな時も、赤旗の眩しさを覚えていた
Magical socialist paradise headed by an immortal, tea-loving and sometimes childish Chairwoman who happens to be the younger Ōmiya sister

Mini custard puddings
And fresh poured Darjeeling
Strawberry parfait so sweet and appealing,
Little soft plushies and baths in hot springs
These are a few of my favourite things

I was made for this thread!
The first movie I ever watched was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and it quite literally made me who I am today. After watching that, I decided I wanted to be a scientist, and never looked back!

A bunch of cliches, I’m afraid.

Seeing Star Wars in the theaters as a young kid pretty much ruined me.

On the Road and various works of the Beats profoundly effected me. Mostly Burroughs and Kerouac.

I think my view on satire changed with Catch-22.

Stanislaw Lem changed how I look at science fiction.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

The Road (2009) - scariest movie I've ever seen.

On a positive note - "Eyes Wide Shut" makes me want to do something amazing.
