A film about self-esteem?

In the long journey of growing up, searching for a meaning to life and love for myself, I lived some dark and tormented moments that caused me to emotionally suffer. Nothing out of the ordinary, everyone of us has his dragon to fight. But what does the size of the latter depend on?

To think about self-esteem and strong character building, I suggest you watch “Angela-A”. In our database, you will find some of the most significant scenes. Here I will share a snippet of the film with you.

André is a North African who owes ​​money to half of Paris. Tired of living on the edge and fleeing from his creditors, he decides to end it, but when he is about to jump off a bridge Angel-A comes along, a fascinating and intelligent woman with a mission to save his soul.

If André’s life ended in that moment, the afterlife would have hosted a man without love for himself, torn by physical pain, hatred and anger. A soul like that would end up in hell. His guardian angel wants André to recognize his inner beauty at all costs and to make his love shine like blinding rays of light.

The moment when the angel reveals her true identity is the beginning of a series of lessons that accompany André in rediscover himself and his qualities, but in particular, they make him fight his demons and his strengths.

Further on in the film, Angel-A says: “Because no-one ever said it to you. Am I right? It’s hard to love yourself when no one reflects that”.

That is what the size of the dragon depends on. The less love you receive, the larger the dragon to fight. The quicker you realize it, the better, because there is only one person who can remedy this void, and that person is you. You can love yourself, pamper yourself and discover the beauty beyond the mirror; and when you do this, the dragon will die of hunger.

The dragon feeds on fear and irresponsibility, but when you throw the past behind you and begin to love, the fear subsides.

This is André’s discovery:

“I’m your reflection. Your image. I am you (…). Yes you are. A half…Actually more feminine than masculine. That’s where you get your sensibility from. Your humor, your wit…those are feminine traits. Men are hunters. But you…You’re not really built for hunting. From the masculine side, you’ve only kept the bad traits. Lies. Ambition. Fear of Failure. Fear of judgment. Fear of loving. (…) Hell! Your masculine side is quite in-your-face”.

In the endless possibilities of exploration, what will your discoveries be? If you are engaged in this quest, let some guardian angels help you: they’re called books and movies.

Here you will find a combination of both:
