20 Great Recent Movies With Subtle Philosophical Meanings

"Philosophy can influence our lives even more than we are willing to perceive, and regarding the shape of philosophical ideas, the movie screen is a scenario that demands more of our attention than perhaps a lecture, seminar, or Wikipedia consultation. It asks us to be more than mere spectators; we are to be active overseers of what we can withdraw from the screen into our lives.
Through ideas channeled in philosophy, the subtext of intentions and the visual aspect of films is crafted in a way that helps transmit states of loneliness, happiness, astonishment, alienation or simple awe.
The torrent of ideas can be channeled through enigmatic performances, vibrant visuals, or narrative-inspired situations and atmospheres that transcend the film in a way ideas transcend onto us, through life itself and what life itself means through various ways of storytelling using nothing more than time and frames".
