It’s remarkable how much of our beliefs are influenced by fairy tales.

As children, you hear fantasy stories of witches and dragons, of fights and glory. This desire for dreaming does not fade away, although at times we foolishly stuff it down.

In this world of productivity and hustle, the nonfiction self-help books are held up as the savior of our consciousness. That’s a shame. Fiction is far more effective at actively moving the direction of the human race. It’s a subtle move, one which may not show up for years, but slowly, culture change is due in large part to the creative work done by people with big hopes and ideals for the world.

All of this year’s Academy Award best picture nominees can teach us about the world we are living in today. More importantly, they can shine a light on where we might be headed… and whether that is good or bad news.
