Poonam Bhatt on LinkedIn: A Man Called OTTO: Movie (& Book) Overview & Learnings (2024)

Last week, I was watching a movie 'A Man Called OTTO' on Netflix and a sudden realization struck that changed everything I look at in my life...After seeing the trailer of the movie 2 or 3 times in the past I have added the movie to my watch list since Tom Hanks was the lead movie character, but somehow I was avoiding watching it.Because looking at the trailer of the movie it was obvious that it was the story of the grumpiest man struggling to cope with his life. ( I have my share of struggles. Will I be able to take on others' struggles?🤔)Only when Netflix placed the 'leaving soon' label on the movie, made me impatient to watch it. (Hey copywriters can you see the copywriting trick 'scarcity' at play 😎 ).Last Saturday night, while my family was busy deciding what to watch today, I suggested this movie that everyone easily agreed on as it was labeled 'leaving soon'.My family did not expect it to be that good but from the bottom of my heart, I knew it would be good since it was from the novel 'A Man Called Ove' by Fredrik Backman (many fiction readers love his work).The movie was great and everyone in my house was happy after watching the movie.After watching the movie I was thinking about the core message of the movie and I was awestruck after realizing that it was one of the core messages that I have from my Shreemad Bhagavad Geeta Learning.The realization that I had after watching the movie was ACCEPTANCE.'Acceptance towards whatever happens in life...'You can read more about the detailed understanding of my realization here (trust me you take home a life-changing philosophy after reading it):https://lnkd.in/gzhJYqeX#mylearning #acceptance #amancalledotto #mancalledove #netflixwatch #FredrikBackman
