Cinema Therapy

March 1, 2015 by Matt Pavlik

Appendix A in the back of the book lists 40+ movies mentioned in almost every chapter. For each movie I include a few words to describe its theme and any cautions. The ratings span from G to R. Most of the R movies are rated this way because of the intense violence or trauma necessary to tell the story.

Use the seven questions in the appendix to help you organize your experience into a plan for growth. Here are two of the questions:

  1. What are the main themes and principles of the movie?
  2. With which character do you identify most? Least?
Chapter Movie Themes Rating
1 The Notebook Knowing what you want; persevering, maturing love PG-13
2,3,4 The Passion of Christ Jesus’ life and sacrifice R; graphic depiction of crucifixion
5 The Truman Show Confidence vs self-doubt PG
6 Life is Beautiful Self-sacrifice to make life better for others; positive attitude PG-13
