Marathon of Inspirational Movies(MIM) – part 5

This week, I would like to recommend you a movie that is very close to my soul, as I am a student myself and I often had to put up with the indifference of some teachers or with their unwillingness to help and educate students, not just dictating phrases and giving test papers.

I can affirm that professor John Keating, acted by Robin Williams in “Dead Poets Society” may be the ideal type of teacher, always preoccupied with his students’ freedom, always determining them to want more from life than their parents or the society as a whole has prepared for them.

In a time when parents design their children’s future, not caring about their own wishes, hopes and dreams, this teacher shows them that they have something priceless to fight for, and that is their FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND EXPRESSION.
I can assure you that 128 minutes of the movie are purposefully spent and you will definitely have a lot to learn from it, the main thing being the fact that education doesn’t refer only to grades and profession, but to more spiritual and meaningful things. I truthfully recommend you to watch it!

The Marathon of Inspirational Movies – part 4

This Week’s movie in “Forrest Gump”, a story of a not-so-intelligent man who involuntarily does extraordinary things and changes the lifes of others. His mother taught him that that he is no different than anybody else, despite  of what the rest of the people say. I consider this movie as a portrait of sacrifice, beauty, sincerity, innocence and the joy of living. It shows us that no matter what people say about you, you can always pursue your dreams and rely on your instincts. It’s a great movie to watch and to learn from!

Favorite quote: ” My momma always said: Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

The Marathon of Inspirational Movies (MIM) – part 3

For this week, I chose a great movie that I recently watched.

Hunter Adams is a depressive, suicidal man who voluntary interns himself in a mental disease hospital. There, he discovers that in order to be happy, he must try to make others happy, he must connect to the sufferings of other human beings and help them overcome the obstacles in their lives.

And what is a better way of helping people than being a doctor? He starts going to a prestigious med school, but there he has to face the scepticism, hostility and the unwillingness of both students and teachers. Will he be powerful enough to follow his dream or will he give up at the first obstacle he faces?

That you will have to find out for yourselves

This is the trailer. Enjoy!

Marathon of Inspirational Movies – part 2

This week’s inspirational movie is “Remember the Titans”

The film shows the impact of specific approaches to the majority.

One of the best movies about what true team spirit and friendship mean.

“People say that it can’t work, black and white. Here, we make it work every day. We still have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate, always, always, we remember the Tit

ans. “

The most relevant idea emerging from the movie, which deeply inspired me is: never give up, never quite. And as Napoleon Hill said: A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits!

The Marathon of Inspirational Movies (MIM) – part 1

John Di Lemme says that, in order to find your WHY in life, you must nurture your spirit with the right books, the right people and the right MOVIES. That is why, beginning from now, we are going to post a special article each week about an inspirational movie we strongly recommend you to watch.

Instead of wasting time watching movies which involve violence, shallowness and have no major impact on your spirit and lifestyle, we encourage you to pay attention to other kinds of cinematographic productions that, although they weren’t awarded and praised, they are likely to change you life and way of thinking about the world around you.

The first movie in the marathon is „Freedom Writers”.

This movie reveals the story of a young teacher confronted with a difficult situation. She has to teach English to a class of students who belong to different races and fight each other all the time, organizing in gangs. No one trusts them and no one thinks that they  have a chance for a real and remarkable change. They’ve all been very close to death, and therefore have no confidence that education can bring them a peaceful and flourishing life.

It’s up to the teacher to help them and prove them that they are all the same and fighting for freedom can be done without human sacrifice, but together, as a team.
