My Favourite Quotes from the Movie
A Beautiful Mind
​

​
A Beautiful Mind is a touching, emotionally charged film detailing the life of a brilliant academic who suffers from schizophrenia. This affliction slowly takes over his mind and we watch as his life crumbles apart around him. He abandons his students, alienates his colleagues and replaces his research with a fruitless and all-consuming obsession. Eventually he is taken into hospital where he is forced, with the help of electric-shock therapy and regular medication, to accept his condition and attempt to repair the shattered fragments of his life.
He succeeds. Of course he succeeds, this is Hollywood and Hollywood likes a happy ending. In this case the happy ending is that, as an old man and after years of struggle, the poor academic is awarded the Nobel Prize. One interesting point though; it's a true story and our hero is none other than John Forbes Nash Jr.

The Social Dilemma
The 2020 Netflix documentary ‘Social Dilemma’ explore how the most important part of our lives today, the Internet’s widely used products that are Google, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Pinterest etc. simple work as mere business model to sell the ads and worse, make the people addicted to them to an extent that it affects the physical and mental well being of them.
The documentary is a blend of interviews with some eminent personalities in the field of technology including former Facebook executive Tim Kendall , technology pioneer Jaron Lanier and many more who talks in detail about how these companies work.They share with the audience how every one of our movements, from sharing a memes to someone,retweeting someone’s tweet, every activity of your day to day life is being stored and can easily be used to manipulate us.The movie and the script make us to think once about how our lives are becoming more depressed and sad and how we are getting more and more inclined towards getting validation from the people on or social media accounts, by a side film running between the interviews which shows the story of a regular family like ours and how their lives are being guided by social media. Along with that, many different outrageous riots that were caused by social media have also been seen in this movie. “The Social Dilemma” has even lead some social media users to delete their accounts but it’s unlikely to put a dent in the tech giants it takes on.
The film's plot is presented to the audience in a meaningful manner and you will explore through this movie how social media platforms actually work, how social media platforms are impacting our minds, and how our lives are slowly deteriorating through social media.The movie is highly recommended to people who use social media a lot.
