 Movies Change the Way
We Talk
"Bond. James Bond." It's one of the most famous lines in
movie history, spoken by every actor who has played the
famous spy.
While this isn't something you'd hear in everyday
conversation, movies have had a big impact on the way we
talk.
Something you might hear in conversation comes from the
1994 film, Forrest Gump. While sitting on a park bench in
Savannah, Georgia, the main character, Forrest, says to the
person sitting next to him: "My mom always said life was like a
box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna
get." English speakers use this to say that life is full of
surprises, and you never know what may happen.
A funny way of saying that something is wrong is to quote the 1995
film Apollo 13. In the movie, after experiencing a problem with their
spacecraft, one of the astronauts, played by Tom Hanks, says to
NASA's Mission Control Center in Texas: "Houston, we have a
problem."

Experts are not sure where the phrase "keep your friends close, but
your enemies closer" came from. Some argue that Sun Tzu, the
Chinese general, first said it. But it was made famous in the west by
the character Michael Corleone in one of the best gangster films of
all time: The Godfather Part II. It means that you should pay more
attention to your enemies than to your friends.

If you asked a native English speaker where this phrase comes

from, they would probably tell you that it's an old proverb. This
shows just how big an impact movies have had on language.

In the society, there are two kinds of people are available with respect to their work.
In that, some people wish to do the same things rather than change. But some
people always think for change in their work because they believe that the change is
always good for their career.

To begin with, the people who won’t want to make any changes in their activities are
appearently afraid of their future. Moreover, they scared about the failures and they
don’t want to take any risks. In fact, they will never deviate the path, in where they
succeeded. They always find the benifits in their routine way. Furthermore, these
people trust more on god than their will power. Most probably, these kind of people
are more or less negative minded and they suggests some to the others also. They
can’t broaden their mind and can’t explore new changes in the current society.

But the people who always want change in their work, are very confident in all
aspects. Moreover, they believe in their hardwork and own talent. They always wants
to take risks because, they know, if they succeed they will be benifited and if they
fail, they will learn from that failures. Even though they too trust god, but after
giving their full effort. In fact, these people are more likely to create wonders in this
lives. They will become inspiration to the younger generation. In addition to that,
these fellows will have more leadership qualities and they can survive in any kind of
difficult situations. Furthermore, they are always ready to accept new challenges in
their lives because, they know how to tackle with it.

In conclusion, the people who want change in their work, can change the world and
neighbouring societies very rapidly in a positive way. While, who don’t want change
in their lives, may demotivate the society.
