​1) If you have someone you love, tell them. Don't wait until it's too late and live to regret it. 


​Hannah Baker and Clay Jensen loved each other but were not straightforward and open with how they felt about each other.
​
Only after Hannah slit her own wrists, bleeding to death, and the tapes started being passed around did Clay realize that he should have told her how he truly felt.

5 Life Lessons and Moral Value In Netflix and Marvel's "Iron Fist" (Spoilers Alert!)

5 Life Lessons and Moral Value In Netflix and Marvel's "Iron Fist" (Spoilers Alert!)


​Leading Cast: 

Finn Jones as Danny Rand (The Iron Fist)
Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing
Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple
Jessica Stroup as Joy Meachum
Tom Pelphrey as Ward Meachum
David Wenham as Harold Meachum
​

1) It's difficult to care about ideals like upholding honor when you're struggling just to survive. (Think Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs)


​Colleen Wing lectured Darryl about his involvement in underground fights in exchange for money, and yet when faced with financial difficulty, she hypocritically chose to participate in the fights too. 

She refused money from Danny Rand but chose to fight to earn the money to keep her dojo going. That's throwing aside her honor.

5 Life Lessons and Moral Value In Disney's "Moana (2016)" (Spoilers Alert!)​​ 


​1) You can't shelter your loved ones from the world forever. Learn to let go and trust that they will be okay.


​Moana's father Tui refused to let Moana venture beyond the reef due to his own bad experiences out at sea.

He was trying to protect Moana and the villagers of Motonui from danger, but his overprotective way wasn't working.

The fish were becoming scarce and the vegetation were dying because of the curse upon the world that began when the heart Te Fiti was stolen.

It took Moana sailing beyond the reef and restoring the heart of Te Fiti to bring life and peace back to the world.

1) Love can show up in the most unexpected way.


Logan never thought that it was possible for him to experience the bliss of family and kinship.

Through the appearance of his daughter Laura in his life, he was able to love her and to be loved by her.

It was most apparent towards the end of the movie when Logan said "So this is how it feels like...", referring to finally experiencing familial bliss.

5 Life Lessons and Moral Value In "The Conjuring 2 (2016)" (Spoilers Alert!) ​

5 Life Lessons and Moral Value In "The Conjuring 2 (2016)" (Spoilers Alert!) ​

​Movie quote from The Conjuring 2 (2016): "After everything we've seen, there isn't anything much that rattles either of us anymore, but this one, this one still haunts me." - Lorraine Warren. 

​1) Knowing the demon's name when you're trying to cast it out of a possessed person gives you dominion over it.
You can ask it to reveal its name. Demons are prideful spirits so they will do so most of the time.
Picture
While she was sleeping, Lorraine Warren dreamt about the demonic spirit, Valak, which manifested in the form of a nun. When she asked Valak for its name in the dream, in the physical world, she carved out the letters that spelt its name in her Bible.

2) Trying to communicate with the dead or with spirits is opening a portal for demons to attack you. Absolutely avoid such practices at all costs!
Picture
By playing with and using the spirit board, Janet Hodgson unknowingly invited the demonic spirits of William "Bill" Wilkins and Valak to attack and possess her, wrecking havoc in the Hodgson family.

3) All it takes is one person to change your life, and God can send that person to you. If you meet someone who trusts in you, marry him/her ;)
Picture
In a scene at the swing, Lorraine Warren shared with Janet Hodgson that she never fit in since she was young because she was different (she had clairvoyant ability), until she met Ed, who trusted in her, and that one person can change one's life. She said, "You know what I did? I married him.". Later, when Ed was fixing the tap in the kitchen, he shares the same thing with Janet, who finishes his line before he could.

​4) Demons gain power over their possessed victim by causing them to feel outcast, rejected, isolated and alone.
Picture
The demonic oppression that was happening in Janet Hodgson's life caused her to be outcast by her peers in school who were afraid of her. Lorraine Warren told Janet that that was exactly what the demonic spirit wanted because that's how it gains power.

5) Sometimes God can give you premonitions in the form of dreams and/or visions to warn you in advance of disasters that lie ahead, so that you can avoid them.
Picture
Lorraine Warren received both a vision and a dream, and both of them showed the demonic spirit Valak causing Ed Warren's death by impalement by a sharp piece of wood. After sharing her vision with Ed, Ed assures her that it could be God sending her the vision to warn her in advance to give her the opportunity to prevent Ed's death and save his life.

5 Life Lessons and Moral Value In "Warcraft: The Beginning (2016)" (Spoilers Alert!) ​


​1) Having a martyr is a powerful way to unify and inspire people to work together towards a common cause.
Picture
At King Llane's funeral in Stormwind, the leaders of the other human nations, as well as the High Elves and Dwarves, proclaim an alliance against the orcs and rally behind Lothar. They rallied against a common enemy despite their differences.

5 Life Lessons and Moral Value In "The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)" (Spoilers Alert!) ​

5 Life Lessons and Moral Value In "The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)" (Spoilers Alert!) ​


​1) There is a stress and pressure in being a younger sibling to a capable and successful elder sibling.
​There is a tendency to feel overshadowed - like you're living in the shadow of your elder sibling's glory. 
Picture
After Ravenna (Charlize Theron) was summoned from within the magic mirror, she immediately assumed the throne and it felt like she was the true ruler, whereas Ice Queen Freya (Emily Blunt) was like a puppet leader - just a figurehead. Freya's posture of authority and confidence diminished in the presence of her elder sister.

​2) It is easy to be deceived with illusions and manipulations when you trust in what your eyes see. Live by faith, not by sight. 
Picture
To make Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and Sara (Jessica Chastain) lose hope in love, Ice Queen Freya (Emily Blunt) conjured a deceptive illusion to break their hearts. Both Eric and Sara were deceived because they trusted in what they saw with their eyes.

3) Avoid at all costs any dealings with demons.
​There is always a hidden agenda by them and a much costlier price to pay than the benefit received.  
Picture
The magic mirror is inhabited by a malevolent demon, and as a result of Ravenna's (Charlize Theron) use of the mirror, the demon was allowed to wreck havoc in her life, and her family's life, causing death and destruction - going so far as to sway her to murder her sister Freya's (Emily Blunt) baby daughter.

​4) Adversity and tragedy in one's life can either make one channel that experience to become stronger and help more people who went through similar experiences,
or it can lead one to spiral down to a path of anger, depression and destruction. 
Picture
Ice Queen Freya (Emily Blunt) went through a tragedy in her life - her baby daughter was murdered by the baby's father, also her lover, Andrew the Duke of Blackwood (Colin Morgan). That event triggered her to go down a path of destruction as it had crushed her spirit, leading her to totally lose hope in love.

5) True love is proven through actions, and the greatest expression of love is to lay down one's life for another. 
Picture
The Huntsman Eric (Chris Hemsworth) abandoned all safety and was willing to sacrifice his life in order to fend off the goblins in the Sanctuary. His self-sacrificial actions touched Sara's (Jessica Chastain) heart, giving her the confidence that Eric really still loves her.

​1) You have to do what's right and not compromise on your beliefs.
Picture
Captain America (Steve Rogers) insistently decided not to sign the Sokovia Accords despite many members of the Avengers in favor of the decision to sign it. He believes that governments are run by humans and humans have agendas, and agendas change. He didn't want the immense power of the Avengers to be subject to that governmental control, risking that control falling into the wrong hands.
