Can You Learn Life Lessons from Movies?

Researchers who analyzed over 6,000 movie scripts discovered that films following a “man in a hole” emotional trajectory, which are marked by a sharp fall in fortunes followed by a rise, tend to generate the highest box office revenues. This U-shaped pattern consistently outperforms other story arcs, proving effective regardless of genre or budget, and is statistically linked to increased financial success. While these movies do not always receive the top viewer satisfaction scores, their intense ups and downs spark more buzz and discussion, drawing larger audiences and greater financial returns.

Of course, it makes sense because people want a happy ending. And to achieve a happy ending, the story must create drama, lead the viewer into pain and tears, and then gradually elevate them into joy and relief. This is what moves people, whether in a cinema or watching at home.

Indeed, Kabbalah describes this very same principle with regard to our lives’ trajectory. We cannot experience a rise without a fall, love without hate, and light without darkness. As it is written, “And there was evening, and there was morning, one day.” Everything begins with evening, with night, with descent, and only afterward comes morning and ascent.

We need to learn how to control this process so that ascents and descents are both accepted with joy. The key is to enjoy the descents as much as the ascents. It is akin to science, where on one hand, the discovery itself is gratifying, accompanied with awards and applause, but the real pleasure is in the search, the struggle, in the labor pains that bring about that very discovery. That suffering is creativity, and there is joy in it.

The ordinary person, of course, wants to escape misfortune as quickly as possible. But to truly live, we need to understand nature’s general equation: everything develops in a wave, a sine curve. This is how creation unfolds, in every aspect of life.

Can we accept this? Only if it is explained to us. But who will explain it? Few have the strength to approach others with this knowledge. People turn away, preferring antidepressants, distractions, or to smoke something and disconnect. However, life will lead us. Nature will not let us rest. It will shake us until we begin to listen, because there will be no other way out.

Humanity will reach a state like a child left alone in a room: crying, terrified, not knowing what to do, and finding no help from anyone. From every corner, dangers appear. Only then will people listen to what Kabbalists have to say. For an egoist can hear nothing unless they are truly afraid. Fear is what pushes humanity to its goal.

There is no other way but through evil to good, through thorns to the stars. This is how life is constructed, and it is how we will reach goodness, harmony, and peace. I wish us all success in this journey!
