Last week I pulled on my hazmat, goggles and p95 and started spraying my fence; 40 hours later and I’ve finally got the white picket fence I’ve wanted since a child. It was an awful week to do it in Va, but my parents are here so I finally have child cover.
Anyways, I was trying to figure out where this fascination with a white picket fence came from and the best I could come up with is a scene in Major Payne, where the Major daydreams of his idyllic life watering the lawn with a white picket. As a child, I loved that film (still do). In my mind, this started the desire to one day have my own.
Has anyone else gone out of their way to add something to their life, material or otherwise, because of film culture?

It was an awful week to do it in Va, ... You are insane. The heat (and humidity) these past few weeks has been miserable, you're lucky you didn't get heat stroke. It's forecast to be 100F up here in F'burg this coming Monday and Tuesday, I suspect the same for you. |

I always remember Star Wars a New Hope coming out. As a 7 year old it blew mine and my classmates minds at Sir John Offeley. One of the lads from School said we were going to remake it and were going to meet up at 0700 in the morning to fly out to Hollywood to do so. I had my suitcase packed and I was already got my role as Chewbacca. I always was a gullible soul.  |

Not quite the same, but I think fast and furious had a large influence on my interest in cars.
I THINK I always liked cars as a kid, but this accelerated it.

Dr Strangelove
The Human Condition (triologhy)
The trilogy follows the life of Kaji, a Japanese pacifist and socialist, as he tries to survive in the totalitarian and oppressive world of World War II-era Japan.Super thought provoking films.
Animal Farm (The 50s Cartoon)
There were so many bizarre ,wonderful and freaky films made in the 60s-70s theres too many too mention.

Without being wrong. 🤠 |

Watching Mickey die in Rocky 3 made me cry, in front of friends/family. Maybe 9 or so in 1983.
I avoided any film I knew was sad - never seen Watership Down, Bambi, let alone any of the tearjerker stuff my mum loved
Of recent years, Bruce Willis dying at the end of Armageddon was horrific, and dont start me on Avengers: Endgame when Tony Stark dies and they are all at his funeral. Too much dust in the cinema that day.
Bar that, and wherever possible, I avoid a sad ending like the plague!
Mindless violence, action and comedy.
Its the future.

The end of 12 Monkeys is beautifully sad too - also Mr Willis |

Do not, I repeat do not watch The Champ with Jon Voight. I watched that as a kid in the 80s and I swear I think about how sad that made me feel every single day of my life. I'm getting a lump in my throat just thinking about it now 😥 😔 |
