<Pay it Forward (2000)>
The movie, “Pay it Forward” is about a boy named Trevor who has an alcoholic mother and an abusive father. For his social studies assignment, he decides that if he can do three good deeds for someone and they in turn can "pay it forward" and so forth, positive changes can occur. The reason I chose this particular movie is that people in today’s society continue becoming very selfish and egoistic. They only care about themselves. However, in the movie the young kid starts helping others in order to change the whole world. I want the world to watch this movie and become inspired by Trevor who, despite being young, can bring about a large difference.
<Million Dollar Baby (2004)>
“Million Dollar Baby” is about a poor thirty-one year old waitress from a very low social class who decides to become a boxer to change her life. When people think of thirty-one year old women, they would not think it is impossible for her to become a famous boxer which is even hard for men. Through this movie, I was motivated that having trust in myself and a firm decision can allow me to accomplish what I have always wanted to become.
<The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)>
The movie, “The Pursuit of Happyness” is based on atrue story about a man called Christopher Gardner. The main character, Chris Gardner, loses his job and house; his wife leaves him and their son. Therefore, he has to take care of his son and struggles to gain back his life again. Compared to his situation and today’s society, it is similar because losing jobs is common and many people give up on their lives. However, like what Chris in the movie does, people should not give up and keep striving to succeed.
<Schindler’s List (1993)>
The movie, “Schindler’s List”, is based on the true story of Oskar Schindler who managed to save about 1100 Jews from being gassed at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Because I did not learn about the Nazis or about Hitler, this movie was historically educational. Many students and adults likewise shun history. It is hard to read a whole series of history books. However, this movie tells the details and helps me to visualize the events that really existed during World War Two.
<The Bucket List (2007)>
The movie, “The Bucket List”, is about two old men creating a list of things they want to do before they die. As they continue down the list, they realize what they have and show the true meaning of their friendships and relationships. In today’s busy society, people are over-stressed and constantly over-work. Through this movie, I wish the world could learn that the importance of family and relationships with others is much deeper than the pursuit of wealth.
