Reel to Real

Creating Your Personal Storyline

How often have you watched a movie or television program and readily identified with the characters in the story? What if you could take that connection a step further and use fictional works to address the real-life issues that you face? Discover how tackling serious issues can be fun and enlightening!

The Power of Metaphors

Metaphors are powerful tools that can simplify complex ideas and provide insightful analogies for real-world issues. By using metaphors from movies and television, we can better understand and address various challenges in our lives. For example, The Matrix can be seen as a metaphor for understanding how leaders operate at one level while the public operates at another, often unaware of the power dynamics at play. This leads to valuable problem-solving insights, such as the need to avoid blindly following leaders and the importance of gaining support from those in higher positions, allowing you to grow and to handle unforeseen challenges.

Of course, for whatever topic you choose, you can always explore real-world activity through documentaries, biopics, news reports, and more. Once you start digging, you will discover that the real world is at least as interesting as all the fictional worlds that entertain you! But don’t forget to use fictional works when you need to find metaphors.
