    I think that Blade Runner 2049 is also an honorable mention, it's a really nice movie about struggling with lonlines and lack of life purpose. It also shows a story of an ultimate sacrifice to reach freedom. And it's just beautifull...

    Moneyball is so good. I think it provides the harsh truth that just because you love something doesn't mean you should do it (Billy Bean playing professional baseball). But it ALSO shows that many entrenched systems, that we think have been carefully thought through, are ripe for disruption. And lastly it is nice to see a guy give up a lot for his kid

    Very nice list. Let me had Seven Ponds. i think few movies show what determination and resilience are. And about Whiplash, we both have completely different views of the same movie. For me it's not about ego. it's about dedicating your life to an art, and embracing your purpose with all the challenges that come with it.

    @freeradical5535 8 дней назад +6

    I think your analysis of Bicycle Thieves may be a little surface-level. "When somebody does you wrong you should never use this to do even more wrong" really oversimplifies the situation and blames the victim. Bicycle Thieves is about how Capitalism coerces people into labor through the threat of violence. It's about the power that an employer has over the worker, and how living at the poverty line will complel conformity at all cost. It's about how crime is a result of that poverty and desperation, and how punitive measures against individual acts of desperation only exacerbate their crisis. I agree that this should be seen by most young men, because it really does teach empathy.
    If you saw this whole movie and then concluded that the protagonist was wrong in the end and that he should've chosen not to "do even more wrong," the point flew right over your head.

    • @lazarovalex
      @lazarovalex  8 дней назад +2

      You're right, I tried to distill the message into a few key sentences but the real substance is much more layered. The ending especially, as you're saying, is tragic in way that's more about a system than it is about psychology.
      Still, I think that the protagonist's inner fight, that of not trying to give in to the pressure that comes with his desperate situation, is an important part of the movie.

    I like your list very much and plan to watch the few movies on it that I haven't seen yet. I have two remarks I would like to leave. First, 'The Place Beyond the Pines', is in it's core a movie that exams father/son relationships. And secondly, I feel that what little information you give the viewer on Casey Afflecks character in 'Manchester by the Sea' is already to much, since knowing about the source of the characters issues from the get go will alter how the viewer perceives him and his relationships.

Then there's FRESH - 1994 Boaz Yakin - for the same reasons, both film are brutal, FRESH is about a lad who's actually on-the-cusp-of-young-manhood who's African American; but you never included any of those Characters/Films in films 'every young man should see', but that's how it goes.

      Yes, being empathetic is an essential part of being a good human. There are specific problems men deal with that women don't and vice versa. It's important to point out what men specifically are struggling with and should be working on and how they should view themselves in combination with proper values.
      This is my goal with this video and the films I recommend. Obviously some of these films (The Godfather, Locke, Whiplash) tell cautionary tales about men doing wrong and damaging themselves and their surroundings. Others show men making the right decisions (A Hidden Life, It's A Wonderful Life).
      Some of the films you listed tell important stories. Others, I personally wouldn't watch or recommend.
      I don't think graphic depictions of violence, sex and unmoral behavior that goes unpunished help any man out there become a better member of society, husband and father - that's what my videos are all about!

      @@lazarovalex Respectfully, violence, sex and unmoral behavior are part of life and extremely common aspects of reality - especially today. If film is made to represent and question the world we live in, these thins will appear - as they should. Limiting the movies you watch to avoid them is an exercise of ignorance.

      That's right, these things are a part of real life. Films aren't real life though. They are artificial realities and within that they tell stories about the human experience. Evil is real a part of that, but it works differently.
      Experiencing violence, sex and unmoral behavior in real life vs. watching it on a screen are fundamentally different things. And I think that just because you can show anything with a films, doesn't mean that doing so can't damage you.
      We can agree on the statement, that films can change your thoughts, feelings and even your life? If they can cause positive change, they can also cause negative too.
      Why and how watching certain things in films can damage you, is what I already made a video about: ruclips.net/video/k_yw-YAw36g/видео.html
