I read Flowers for Algernon today. It was an amazing book, one of my favorites. I've never really had any movie, show, book, game, etc. have an impact on me to the extent where it changes something about me, but recently three things have.

Little Miss Sunshine - This movie was ridiculously sad and depressing. Yet in the end (SPOILER)the family was happy, even though life still sucked. I don't exactly know what impact this movie had on me, but it made me think about things differently, and maybe that things aren't quite so bad.

Flowers for Algernon - When I was done with this it really drove home the point that every day was worth living, no matter how unimportant the events of that day might be, because tomorrow you might not be able to live quite like you used to.

Perks of Being a Wallflower - This book had many interesting ideas and points. As well as being emotional, the book made me realize that when I'm feeling down, comparing my situation to someone who has it worse (eg. kids starving in Africa), doesn't make my situation any better. Blahblahblah.

So, what forms of media have changed your life, or had a big impact on you positively or negatively, recently?
