Sometimes there’s nothing better than a good movie that not only entertains, but also inspires. Movies inspire us in various ways.They make us laugh, they make us cry, they make us think. But mostly, they remind us why we are alive and what’s worth living for. They remind us that every day, is another day, to get up, venture into the world, and make a difference. Our difference. Whether that difference is to conquer a personal demon, or to make a difference in somebody’s life, or to make the world a better place. It’s our story that we write each day.
For instance the movie Yes man taught us that when we are so tired of our lives, of duties of never ending stress that without thinking, often the first answer to anything is NO. Take a life a bit easier, lighter and say YES to all opportunities which come along. Thus encouraging us to be positive and move forward no matter what.
Similarly The Pursuits of Happiness encourages us to take action.It is a touching and inspiring movie based on true story. You have a choice to be stuck where you are and keep complaining or take your life in your hands, decide where you wanna be and no matter what is happening here and now, keep moving towards your goal. See the clear steps and without looking around or back, or let others’ success or troubles make you doubt about yourself. Hence movies like these enable us to understand that we are not alone in dealing with hardships of life.
There are severa quotes that inspire us, a few of them have been listed below:
- “Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something, not even me. Alright? You dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.”-The Pursuits of Happiness
- “Great men are not born great, they grow great.”- The Godfather
- “Calling someone fat doesn’t make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesnt make you any smarter. All you can do in life is try and solve the problem in front of you.”-Mean Girls
- “Do, or do not. There is no “try”.-The Empire Strikes Back
In addition there are certain cliches that the film industry has made, making movies predictable. Some of them have been mentioned below:
- And the loser always gets the girl in the end, or even better, ends up becoming a superhero! All you need is a spider bite!
- All the mystical and mythical creatures can be found in the US – vampires, zombies, werewolves, mutants and more!

- If there’s any natural threat to mother Earth, only and only US citizens are responsible to send out their astronauts and soldiers to fix it.
