are probably some dramatic elements and it stars  Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks directed by Steven   00:11
Spielberg it's an absolute classic the film is  based on the life of Frank William abignale Jr   00:16
one of the most successful con men in American  history he effortlessly performed some of the   00:23
most depraved acts of deception by posing as a  Pan-American Airlines pilot a doctor in Georgia   00:28
and a prosecutor in Louisiana all before his 19th  birthday this guy was an absolute Prodigy while   00:36
I wouldn't recommend living your life like Frank  William I don't want you to con people more than   00:43
you already do but what this movie teaches  you is an invaluable lesson about how human   00:50
psychology works people know what you tell them  Carl Catch Me If You Can teaches you about the   00:56
power of presentation by the way you dress the  way you hold yourself you subconsciously signal   01:02
to people how they should treat you do you carry  yourself with dignity confidence Authority if not   01:08
what does that tell other people about how they  should treat you it makes you wonder how many   01:14
people that you look up to in life are actually  full of totally faking it they don't know anything   01:18
but they dress the part and have self-confidence  and on the flip side it makes you wonder how many   01:24
people genuinely know what they're talking about  have exceedingly valuable information but have no   01:29
presentation skills whatsoever so you perceive  whatever they're saying negatively presentation   01:35
is an amplifier it will amplify the good in you or  the bad in you and in this world tons of very bad   01:40
people have very high Charisma so if you perceive  yourself as a good person and you have strong   01:48
values I think it's a moral imperative to also  develop Charisma to present your self and your   01:53
information well to combat the evil charismatic  people in the world it's also just a fantastic   01:59
film it's so easy to watch so entertaining  and you will leave this film with some new   02:05
ideas I'm a celebrity Liberty in an emergency  can you catch me through on that line please   02:11
Groundhog Day Groundhog Day is a 1993 comedy  starring Bill Murray the story follows a   02:17
weatherman who finds himself reliving the same  day over and over and over again the thing I   02:24
love about Groundhog Day is that it's not only an  extremely easy film to watch it's also a profound   02:30
film about you and your own mental prison that  you can fall into if you're not careful Groundhog   02:36
Day is a metaphor for the prison of the self  Bill Murray's character was self-serving and he   02:42
robbed himself of Joy because of it every one  of his days felt agonizingly identical and he   02:49
wasn't able to escape it until he got outside  of himself because going outside of yourself   02:55
expands your world and adds meaning to your life  by watching Groundhog Day You Will Be Inspired to   03:00
do things you haven't done before to escape the  prison of your mind and stop being so selfish   03:07
so self-serving so inside it'll also inspire  you to detox your soul from irony poisoning 03:12
a thousand people freezing their butts off  waiting to worship a rat it'll help you identify   03:22
that skepticism sarcasm pessimism these things  will eat you alive okay campers rise and shine   03:29
I've been doing a little research on Aunt  Helen's tumor and it's totally clear that   03:39
anybody with familial abdominus palaposis should  be supplementing platinum-based doublet regiments   03:43
with icos and pentioic acid Limitless everybody  knows Limitless Limitless is a 2011 film starring   03:47
Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro it's about a  struggling writer who gains access to a mysterious   03:55
drug that enhances his intellectual abilities  to superhuman levels but it also exposes him   04:00
to dangerous consequences I learned to play  the piano in three days Limitless is not art   04:07
I'll say it right now but its impact on me was  undeniable I watched Limitless on a plane when   04:15
I was 15 years old and it blew my mind it got me  thinking about the brain I have and how perhaps   04:21
I'm not using it to its full potential it  got me thinking that perhaps The Key to   04:27
Greatness is already within me everything that  I have ever learned is not forgotten but lying   04:31
dormant somewhere in my subconscious I I just  needed to find a way to access it my brain was   04:37
just pouring this stuff out everything I'd ever  read heard seen was now organized and available   04:42
here it is here you go this movie naturally  is everybody's gateway drug into biohacking   04:47
and nootropics if you don't know what nootropics  are they're brain enhancing supplements because   04:53
when you watch a movie about a guy who solves  all of his life problems by taking one mystery   04:58
pill gets you thinking about whether or not this  mystery pill exists in real life okay so what   05:03
do we have here some unknown untested possibly  Dangerous Drug scammed out of some unidentified   05:08
lab somewhere given to me by a highly unreliable  guy I hadn't seen in years so you want some more   05:13
yes definitely watching Limitless will inspire  you to use the brain you currently have to its   05:20
full potential it'll motivate you to think  about your problems differently and ask the   05:26
question if I were on nzt48 how would I solve this  problem if you haven't watched Limitless watch it 05:30
what I want you to hit me as hard as you can  let me tell you a little bit about Tyler Durden   05:38
there's not really much I can say about Fight  Club that hasn't been said in a billion he's   05:46
literally me montages or film analysis videos so  I'm gonna give you the overly simplistic take the   05:50
reason why you should watch it if you want to  improve your life is because of an energy Fight   05:57
Club represents an energy a simple thought that  of embracing chaos most of the time it's not the   06:02
actual external events that happen to you that  will ruin your life but it's your own fear of   06:10
bad things happening this constant rumination  that will rob you of Life your fear of death   06:15
will rob you of Life Fight Club will remind you  that the answer to your life's problems isn't   06:21
buying that new piece of Ikea furniture it's  not getting a matching cutlery set it's not   06:27
buying that beautiful sexy 2023 Toyota Tundra  because it won't make you happy it's all just   06:32
stupid because in a way these are all just ways  to avoid death they're all little consumeristic   06:39
traps that are basically a facade that Taps into  your instinct to self-preserve why do you need   06:47
a nice house why do you need a matching cutlery  set is that going to keep you from dying is that   06:53
going to keep the chaos at Bay in your life  by watching Fight Club you will become Bolder   06:58
more willing to take risk it'll really start to  get you thinking maybe discomfort not only isn't   07:03
really that bad but maybe it's exactly what I  need like a monkey ready to be shot into space   07:09
watching Fight Club will also permanently  imprint the character of Tyler Durden onto   07:15
your brain so when you're feeling a little  too comfortable you're afraid to ask a girl   07:20
out you're afraid to go for a run you can  ask yourself what would Tyler Durden do in   07:24
this situation once again not that Tyler Durden  is a shining example of how to live your life   07:29
but just like Frank William Abigail Jr movies  can have caricatures of the dramatic extreme   07:36
end of certain philosophies that you can  borrow when it's useful to you and then   07:42
discard when it's not tell you are by far the most  interesting single serving friend I've ever met 07:46
to have this thing everything on a plane is single  serving even though I get it it's very clever 07:54
how's that working out for you what being clever  anyways Watch Fight Club definitely awesome yeah I   08:01
mean if it's too much trouble you totally don't  have to but if you need someone I mean Duncan   08:09
yes there you go the way way back is an  underrated film not very many people have   08:15
heard of this it's a 2013 Coming of Age comedy  drama despite the fact that it's fairly unknown   08:20
it has some familiar faces in there we have Steve  Carell and Sam Rockwell most notably Steve Carell   08:26
in this movie is an absolute [ __ ] he is not  even a little bit funny whereas Sam Rockwell   08:32
is very funny well actually Sam Rockwell is  always funny I'm gonna have to ask you to leave   08:38
what yeah you're gonna have to take off for  getting complaints you're having way too much   08:43
fun it's making everyone uncomfortable when you  watch The Way Way Back you just feel good and I   08:47
think the importance of that can't be understated  so much of what we soak in on social media wastes   08:52
your time and leaves you with absolutely nothing  but this film kind of brightens up your mood and   08:58
inspires you to be a good person it makes you  really look up to Sam Rockwell's character   09:04
because Sam Rockwell's character in the film  he doesn't really have it figured out he's a   09:08
smart ass a little bit of a deadbeat and probably  doesn't like himself very much but even though   09:13
he's going through a hard time he never lost his  Humanity he was able to identify that a young kid   09:18
looked up to him and with that knowledge he was  able to make a profound positive impact on him so   09:24
if you're going through a time in your life where  you feel like maybe you're not doing so well maybe   09:29
you're not qualified to help somebody out of a  bad situation I highly recommend watching the   09:34
way way back because it will remind you that  no matter where you are in life you have the   09:38
capacity for good that's why you can't buy  into that [ __ ] you gotta go your own way 09:43
my friend you're going your own  way everything I have learned   09:53
I will teach you economics mathematics  philosophy science to read right 09:58
of course 10:07
when do we start The Count of Monte Cristo  this movie is so underrated The Count of   10:14
Monte Cristo is based on a novel by Alexandre  Dumas and it tells the story of Edmund Dantes   10:20
a man who is wrongfully imprisoned and then  seeks revenge against those who betrayed him   10:27
The Count of Monte Cristo is the perfect tale of  betrayal and Vengeance the main character Edmund   10:32
Dantes endures the worst torture imaginable and  then proceeds to have the biggest come up few   10:38
two things in life make me feel more vicariously  like a boss than seeing Edmund Dantes float down   10:45
on that balloon in his party it's like come at  me [ __ ] I just arrived on a balloon this film   10:51
is highly inspiring it reminds you that in life  if you're stuck in the prison of Chateau deep if   10:56
you are currently in Your Darkest Timeline you  can keep your head down and make something out   11:03
of it so that when you're finally released from  the prison you're prepared you didn't use your   11:08
hardship as an excuse to waste away even though  you would have had every right to and nobody   11:13
would have blamed you isolation loneliness  captivity these things can all be leveraged   11:18
to your advantage there's an upside to almost  everything but you have to find it by watching   11:24
The Count of Monte Cristo you'll be inspired  to transform even the hardest times to your   11:29
advantage The Count of Monte Cristo will inspire  you to strike at the right moment and to have the   11:35
strength to take advantage of opportunity when  it presents itself because you've been training   11:40
you've been proactive it'll also inspire you to  go on an adventure to find lost treasure and have   11:45
the biggest come up of your life and overall just  be an absolute G life is a storm my young friend   11:51
you will bask in the sunlight one moment  be shattered on the Rocks the next   11:57
what makes you a man is what  you do when that storm comes   12:03
you must look into that storm and shout as you  didn't Rome do your worst for I will do mine   12:08
then the face will know you as we know  you as Albert mondago the man [Music] 12:17
what happened to your feet what do you mean these  are my 407s oh they're 407s can I see them yeah   12:30
yeah these offer a lot of  support right wow come on   12:37
what are you in a fraternity are you insane are  you in a fraternity you could have hit somebody   12:42
where was that that I'm asking a question you  have a fraternity no are you Steve Jobs what   12:45
okay crazy Stupid Love Crazy Stupid Love might  sound like a weird one on this list because it   12:51
kind of is but it's impact on me as a young  teen was undeniable Crazy Stupid Love is a   12:57
2011 romantic comedy starring Steve Carell once  again Ryan Gosling Julianne Moore and Emma Stone   13:03
and also Josh Groban he makes an appearance he's  got a banana it follows the story of a middle-aged   13:09
man who after his wife asks for a divorce seeks  help from a young Bachelor to navigate the dating   13:14
scene basically the utility of Crazy Stupid Love  You know you'll probably have your own takeaways   13:21
from it but my own takeaway when I watched it for  the first time is that Ryan Gosling is a cool guy   13:25
Ryan Gosling's character in Crazy Stupid Love  was kind of my fashion and Charisma icon as a   13:30
teenager this film taught me to be better  than the Gap and to ditch my velcro wallet   13:36
what are your wallet it also inspired me to not be  a bumbling doofus I'm a cuckold to put more effort   13:42
into you know the way I dress the way I present  myself and just be a cooler guy in general but   13:48
the thing about Crazy Stupid Love Is that Ryan  Gosling's character isn't without his flaws he's   13:53
kind of a slimy womanizer who has no soul which  is the nice thing about Crazy Stupid Love it's a   13:58
very human film I like the message in this movie  it'll get you thinking like yeah you know what   14:03
I should dress better I should have some ribs I  should I should take care of myself but happiness   14:08
isn't found in buying things or using people  but rather in giving and in sharing life with   14:13
the people that you love so absolutely take care  of your appearance because you're dignified so   14:19
you should reflect that dignity by the way that  you dress but to weaponize aesthetic virtue to   14:25
absorb pleasure from others it's a vacuous  behavior that will leave you Hollow in the   14:30
long run this is what happened to Ryan Gosling's  character he used his Ryan Gosling looks and style   14:34
to take advantage of people for his own pleasure  and it left him Hollow and profoundly lonely in   14:40
the long run whereas Steve Carell's character was  sort of on the opposite side of the spectrum he   14:45
loved and cared for his kids but he sort of lost  respect for himself stopped taking care of himself 14:50
the balance is somewhere right in the middle where  you're not so self-absorbed but you take care of   14:59
yourself so that you can increase your capacity to  take care of others because ultimately that's what   15:04
helps give life meaning take care elf okay guys  hear me out elf is a 2003 Christmas comedy film   15:09
directed by John Favreau starring Will Ferrell  it tells the story of a human who was raised by   15:20
elves at the North Pole and travels to New York  City in search of his true identity see okay   15:27
elf it's not a great movie I you know as a movie  you know I don't know guys he's an angry elf but   15:33
I'd be lying if I said this movie didn't stick  with me and that's because of the Father Figure   15:40
the father figure of elf is the emotional heart  of the movie he sort of plays the straight man   15:46
character everybody can identify with the father  figure it makes you wonder what would you do in   15:51
this situation if this absolute freak mentally  unstable man-child entered your life how would   15:57
you deal with it what if he was your son like you  don't have to watch this movie it's not very good   16:04

talk about them so if you want me to continue this  series let me know in the comments section below   16:14

Groundhog Day Groundhog Day is a 1993 comedy  starring Bill Murray the story follows a

love about Groundhog Day is that it's not only an  extremely easy film to watch it's also a profound

Day is a metaphor for the prison of the self  Bill Murray's character was self-serving and he

wasn't able to escape it until he got outside  of himself because going outside of yourself  
expands your world and adds meaning to your life  by watching Groundhog Day You Will Be Inspired to  
do things you haven't done before to escape the  prison of your mind and stop being so selfish  
so self-serving so inside it'll also inspire  you to detox your soul from irony poisoning
a thousand people freezing their butts off  waiting to worship a rat it'll help you identify  
that skepticism sarcasm pessimism these things  will eat you alive okay campers rise and shine  
I've been doing a little research on Aunt  Helen's tumor and it's totally clear that  
anybody with familial abdominus palaposis should  be supplementing platinum-based doublet regiments  
with icos and pentioic acid Limitless everybody  knows Limitless Limitless is a 2011 film starring  
Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro it's about a  struggling writer who gains access to a mysterious

do we have here some unknown untested possibly  Dangerous Drug scammed out of some unidentified  
lab somewhere given to me by a highly unreliable  guy I hadn't seen in years so you want some more  
yes definitely watching Limitless will inspire  you to use the brain you currently have to its  
full potential it'll motivate you to think  about your problems differently and ask the  
question if I were on nzt48 how would I solve this  problem if you haven't watched Limitless watch it
what I want you to hit me as hard as you can  let me tell you a little bit about Tyler Durden  
there's not really much I can say about Fight  Club that hasn't been said in a billion he's  
literally me montages or film analysis videos so  I'm gonna give you the overly simplistic take the

then the face will know you as we know  you as Albert mondago the man [Music]
what happened to your feet what do you mean these  are my 407s oh they're 407s can I see them yeah  
yeah these offer a lot of  support right wow come on  
what are you in a fraternity are you insane are  you in a fraternity you could have hit somebody  
where was that that I'm asking a question you  have a fraternity no are you Steve Jobs what  
okay crazy Stupid Love Crazy Stupid Love might  sound like a weird one on this list because it  
kind of is but it's impact on me as a young  teen was undeniable Crazy Stupid Love is a  
2011 romantic comedy starring Steve Carell once  again Ryan Gosling Julianne Moore and Emma Stone  
and also Josh Groban he makes an appearance he's  got a banana it follows the story of a middle-aged  
man who after his wife asks for a divorce seeks  help from a young Bachelor to navigate the dating  
scene basically the utility of Crazy Stupid Love  You know you'll probably have your own takeaways  
from it but my own takeaway when I watched it for  the first time is that Ryan Gosling is a cool guy  
Ryan Gosling's character in Crazy Stupid Love  was kind of my fashion and Charisma icon as a  
teenager this film taught me to be better  than the Gap and to ditch my velcro wallet  
what are your wallet it also inspired me to not be  a bumbling doofus I'm a cuckold to put more effort  
into you know the way I dress the way I present  myself and just be a cooler guy in general but  
the thing about Crazy Stupid Love Is that Ryan  Gosling's character isn't without his flaws he's  
kind of a slimy womanizer who has no soul which  is the nice thing about Crazy Stupid Love it's a  
very human film I like the message in this movie  it'll get you thinking like yeah you know what  
I should dress better I should have some ribs I  should I should take care of myself but happiness  
isn't found in buying things or using people  but rather in giving and in sharing life with  
the people that you love so absolutely take care  of your appearance because you're dignified so  
you should reflect that dignity by the way that  you dress but to weaponize aesthetic virtue to  
absorb pleasure from others it's a vacuous  behavior that will leave you Hollow in the  
long run this is what happened to Ryan Gosling's  character he used his Ryan Gosling looks and style  
to take advantage of people for his own pleasure  and it left him Hollow and profoundly lonely in  
the long run whereas Steve Carell's character was  sort of on the opposite side of the spectrum he  
loved and cared for his kids but he sort of lost  respect for himself stopped taking care of himself
the balance is somewhere right in the middle where  you're not so self-absorbed but you take care of  
yourself so that you can increase your capacity to  take care of others because ultimately that's what  
helps give life meaning take care elf okay guys  hear me out elf is a 2003 Christmas comedy film  
directed by John Favreau starring Will Ferrell  it tells the story of a human who was raised by  
elves at the North Pole and travels to New York  City in search of his true identity see okay  
elf it's not a great movie I you know as a movie  you know I don't know guys he's an angry elf but  
I'd be lying if I said this movie didn't stick  with me and that's because of the Father Figure  
the father figure of elf is the emotional heart  of the movie he sort of plays the straight man  
character everybody can identify with the father  figure it makes you wonder what would you do in  
this situation if this absolute freak mentally  unstable man-child entered your life how would  
you deal with it what if he was your son like you  don't have to watch this movie it's not very good  
okay guys I actually have like eight more movies  in front of me but I'm just running out of time to  
talk about them so if you want me to continue this  series let me know in the comments section below
