What movie/tv show/book caused you to rethink your life in some way? [Serious]

I just want to start this off by saying I am not gay nor do I have anything against gay people (This may be relevant later in this story, because someone I told this to did ask), and I am well aware that I am going to sound like an overly dramatic idiot in this. I am a I'm a male who is in highschool, which will be very relevent in this.

Anyways, the other day I was told I should watch the popular Disney movie Frozen, which I did. Nothing wrong with that. The only thing is, I liked it, A LOT. Why is is that bad you may ask? Because it was borderline obsessive how much I liked it. (Again, that may not be that bad, but this will all make sense soon enough, I promise.) I loved the songs, and like many people who have watched it I couldn't get the songs out of my head. Basically, the movie reminded me of when I was little and the Disney movies back then. Being the person that I am, I started thinking deep about the meaning of the songs. This is when I realized something that I wish I didn't: Elsa is the female version of me.

No, I don't mean to say I live in a castle or even have a whacky sister, I mean we are alike in the way that I have spent most of my life locked away in my own room, not being myself and concealing how I really am from everyone else. This really has made me rethink how I have spent my life, and to sum it up: I have spent it alone.

Without even realizing it at the time my life has been a mixture of the three main characters. I used to be like Anna and full of energy, and now I have donned the "macho man" persona that Christoff has, along with I mixture of Elsa's personality. It sound stupid every time I say it now, but it's the sad truth. This is all coming from a guy who wants to be a Marine (Ya, I know this sounds like the wrong career for me just from this story) and I generally never cry.

to tl;dr this and explain what this all amounts to: Watched Frozen, realized how much the chracters were like me, and became depressed wishing I had done more with my childhood because of it
