In just a few weeks, millions of women will flood to the cinema to see 007’s latest adventure and be smitten with desire for James Bond, and millions of men will go too, aspiring to be just a little more Bond-like themselves. What these James Bond fans will see on the screen will be far from “fiction.”
If I were to tell you that James Bond is real, you might well look at me as though I were mad. After all, he’s a character who was first written in a book, then brought to life on film through acting, directing and a whole bunch of visual effects and make-up, right?

Women love James Bond. That’s as true for Sean Connery and From Russia with Love’s James Bond as it is for Daniel Craig and Skyfall’s James Bond. Women adore 007. He is the ultimate role model for being an attractive guy. And for any man with open eyes, he’s also a guide to getting women.
Now, before we get into why James Bond is so attractive, let me address one thing. Most men and women would say that James Bond is attractive just because he’s James Bond. He’s a fictional character so the rules are different, right?

Movies that Help in Coping with Stress
This article is a part of: Be Selfish: How to Deal with Stress at Work & Home
All the following movies have been hand-picked for being some of the best movies at relieving stress when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. The majority of these movies have been picked specifically as stress relievers for people feeling too much pressure and stress at work or home for one of two reasons: either they have stunning fantasy worlds—which are perfect for offering escapism— or they show a character who themselves, through the course of the movie, learns to take care of themselves, to value their own needs and to take a much needed break (or escape) from work, hence reflecting and inspiring those who are currently under too much pressure.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll love having a new excuse to watch movies, whether it’s an excuse to watch your favourite for the hundred and twentieth time (which for me would be Star Wars, Lord of the Rings or several Disney films) or an excuse to finally watch that one you’ve often had your eye on but never quite got around to watching (which for me would be Sumo do, Sumo Don’t). Today is the day you get lucky as I’m about to share with you a new way of looking at movies that will not only give you an excuse to watch tons more films but even, possibly, change the very way you look at films. . . maybe.

Psychologists reveal you're your own favourite character
We reported the breaking story that movies can develop your personality several months ago here on Arolemodel.com. Now, it seems, further research shows that you’re not just what you watch, but what you read too. And as soon as research rolls in to prove it, we’ll be reporting that you are what you play too.

Love reading about detectives who hunt for clues in a city of crime?

To be truly successful in life, we need to have flexibility of thought, so that we are able to think creatively, able to spot new ideas, and open to the possibilities in our lives.

The following films have been chosen as the best movies that make you think differently, that make you challenge your thoughts, that open your mind to other ways of thinking, to the possibilities of life.

If you read How to be Happy in Life: Mindfulness, then you'll know that the number one way of becoming happy is to submit.

Developing mindfulness is arguably the most important thing anyone could do for their mental health, and it's something the movies can greatly help us with.

wh why is spirituality important and what specifically is the importance of spirituality. We'll answer those questions in just a moment, but first, let's demystify spirituality a little.
These days, the word "spiritual" is too easily confused with the word "religion." In many ways, religion has adversely affected the approachability of spirituality. I'm not about to bash religion—either you're religious or you're not and frankly it makes little difference to this article and should also make little difference to your view of spirituality. For the reality of the fact is that religion and spirituality are completely different things. Some people, when asking "Why is spirituality important / what is the importance of spirituality" make the mistake of lumping it in with religion, but they are not the same.
Religion is communal and implies adherence to an external structure of morality and belief system. Spirituality is personal. Spirituality can take any form. It is freedom of belief. Read more [...] Why is Spirituality Important? — The Importance of Spirituality

Mishima
In flashbacks highlighting episodes from his past life, the viewer sees Mishima's progression from a sickly young boy to one of Japan's most acclaimed writers of the post-war era (who keeps himself in perfect physical shape, owed to a narcissistic body cult). His loathing for the materialism of modern Japan has him turn towards an extremist traditionalism. He sets up his own private army and proclaims the reinstating of the tenno as head of state.
The biographical parts are interwoven with short dramatizations of three of Mishima's novels: In The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, a stuttering aspirant sets fire to the famous Zen Buddhist temple because he feels inferior at the sight of its beauty. Kyoko's House depicts the sadomasochistic (and ultimately fatal) relationship between an elderly woman and her young lover, who is in her financial debt. In Runaway Horses, a group of young fanatic nationalists fails to overthrow the government, with its Read more [...]
