This is going to be really sad, but it's true. Recently High School Musical changed my life, it was more of a personal thing though, I use to be really shy about myself, hide in the corner, follow others etc. Whilst that can sometimes be seen as true (new people, situations etc) HSM opened up my eyes of being who the hell you want to be, and don't give a damn about what other people think. I think the largest area of improvement from this has been my carnival performances.

I am part of a carnival club that participate in the Illuminated Carnivals in the South West of England, so Glastonbury, Wells etc. I use to be really shy when I saw anyone I knew, now I give it more half the time because I enjoy it and if they're going to laugh, then they can **** off as I am enjoying myself.

Sad I know but true.

Fight Club made me a bit cynical. But I'm not really sure. I suppose it made me feel a bit more desensitized to violence. Maybe because I didn't really wince at a lot of the violent scenes that were in there. Garden State was another one that moved me. I suppose the soundtrack changed me... in a way that I'm a bit more brooding... haha...

And then there's Pulp Fiction. I think that just made me like dark comedy now...

A movie created by the owner of infowars, it talks about the new world order and proves 911 was an inside job. It's such an inspiration and it really changed my look on the whole world.

Not really, no. Some have made me want to write more, but no books or movies have actually changed me.

Well... the shop manual I bought for my car let me add some custom parts to it, which changed the way I get around... does that count? Also, the road maps and hotel directories have given me peace of mind that I wouldn't have otherwise. No longer do I venture on the open road unsure of where it leads or how far away the next Comfort Inn is.

Yeah, I don't do literature. At least not since my last English class.

I dunno. The ending of Bee Season (the book) made me kind of contemplate about humans in general. Same with the Homecoming series.

Nah I'm not that superficial...Or never was.
There is nothing superficial about questioning your morals after being touched by something strong. How else would Martin Luther King, Jr. have changed people's views about coloured people? They were impacted and touched by his speech. Movies/documentaries/books that concentrate on one thing are meant to try and make people see through a different perspective. What's wrong with changing your opinion about something?

In more of a minor way, a certain movie has changed me. I started becoming a much better writer after watching Bridge to Terabithia. It kind of inspired me to use my imagination more and put some more suspense into things I create and stuff, I guess. XD; It actually marked the point where I started getting much better grades in Language Arts. I know, awkward.

The Harry Potter series changed me A LOT. Back when I was little, I HATED reading and writing. Then, my mom heard about the series and bought the first two books for me. And ever since I read the first one, I've loved reading, and thanks to it along with various anime/manga/fantasy novels, I have been inspired to write. But I wouldn't have even gotten that far without the Harry Potter series. It showed me the joys of reading, and everything involved with it.

Okay, inspirational story over. xD

I would have to go with 1984 by George Orwell and The FairTax Book by Neal Boortz and Rep. John Linder (R-G.A.). After reading 1984 made become more concerned of some Government programs. Before reading The FairTax Book I leaning more toward a flat tax as a fix to the United States current tax system. After reading the book however, I became a supporter.

The Twilight series, oddly enough, changed the way I carry myself, act & walk. Before, I sort of slumped, acted like an asylum escapee & sauntered all over the place. Now, I've always got the thought in my mind to "sit up straight, try to fit in, be graceful". Also, I tend to hide my less-pleasant thoughts now as soon as they pop up. .__. {Damn Edward Cullen has me thinking all boys should be that gorgeous & perfect.}

Then "The Dark Knight" comes along & has me reverting into acting like the Joker every time I get too silly. It's not cool.

Unwind {
Neal Shusterman} & The Barcode Tattoo {Suzanne Weyn} have me seriously freaked out over this country's future. Go read 'em & maybe you'll find out why.
