Derek Stettler collected some words of wisdom from 40 films, weaving them into a virtual advice column using video as the medium.
“In creating this video, I wanted to focus on a few key themes, while featuring as many films as I could,” he wrote on YouTube.
“Reel Wisdom” features an array of film genres, from action/adventure and sci-fi, to drama and animation, in order to show how all types of movies have something important to say.
“There are a lot of Star Wars lines, I know,” he admitted. “Mainly because I grew up watching Star Wars, and I love all the great lessons found in the series.”
If you know of a film clip that should have been used, send Derek a message on his YouTube channel and maybe he’ll include them in Reel Wisdom: Part 2.
