What is it about? The 'Minimalists: Less is Now' is a movie about, you guessed it, 'minimalism'. It's based around, advertising, the want for more stuff and getting rid of said stuff. It follows Joshua Fields Millburn and his best friend, Ryan Nicodemus and their story of how they became 'minimalists'.
I would recommend this film. It's a very nice way of checking up on your own life and what needs to change about it in order to make you happier and have a cleaner home! Of course I don't have a very clean bedroom but that's just me!
'Minimalism' is more than just not owning much. For example, In the film, they showed that it's more of a life style and a mindset than just not owning much.
'I had everything I ever wanted. I had everything I was supposed to have. Everyone around me said your successful. But, I was miserable.' Why I like this quote is because, it touches upon the feel of needing something to quote another quote "...to make you happy". It also touches upon how he had everything that was supposed to make him happy but he wasn't. In fact, he was miserable. Even though buying stuff feels good, it isn't always good for us or the environment and the film showed that 'minimalism' is more than just not owning much. For example, they showed that it's more of a life style and a mindset than just not owning much.
