I'm not sure about what I saw, but am sure Of what it left me with:
"They shoot Horses, Don't they"

Dark and really outside of my purpose for being real and involved in life that held a future before me in promise

Re: Name one movie, book or experience that changed your world view
The use of the internet has had a profound effect upon my world view. I used to read numerous books and several newspapers daily, and considered myself fairly well informed. With the advent of the internet, I realized just how far my world view was from reality (hint, very far) (still is, but I'm workin' on it)

ps great thread op, thanks

Awesome! Thank you!
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

Book - The Stand

Movie - Jaws

Experience - trip to Europe as a child (10)

The Stand gave me hope for humanity. Jaws scared me so badly that I will not ever swim in the ocean. The trip to Europe gave me a much wider view of the world.
