A selection of films with meaning that will help you understand yourself. Honestly give the most important answers – answers to yourself.
So what movies can help you deal with uncertainty, find ease, flexibility, and adaptability?
The Legend of Bagher Vance
This film belongs to the category of motivating and life-affirming. It is perfect for those who are in a pessimistic mood. The picture will tell you how to hear and, perhaps, learn to understand yourself better.
“Within each of us there is a real scope. We are born with it, and it is only ours; it cannot be taught or learned. Sometimes it must be remembered. It happens that life takes the swing away from us, and it hides somewhere inside us underneath all our “I would,” “I could,” and “I should.” Some people forget their scope altogether,” confesses Bagger Vance, the hero of the film.
Here, every phrase can become a separate quote, your motivation. The film makes you think about life, how to cope with adversity, that there is always a way out, no matter how dark the night.
Shadows in the Sun
This particular picture, with its interesting title and curious content, is fascinating. “But you know what the most interesting thing is? Deep down, almost all people hate making decisions. That’s why they would rather give up their freedom just to avoid doing it. And those who have ever tasted this medicine will never get rid of it,” a quote from Shadows in the Sun.
The film makes you think about the limits of inner freedom. It’s not easy, but maybe one day happiness will appear on the horizon again.
The Last Samurai
The film is about what can make us strong and wise. “Too many thoughts,” is the phrase in the moment of learning the art of the sword, and it reflects our state of mind perfectly. Often, and especially in moments of decision-making, we have too many thoughts in our heads, but the one who concentrates on what is important wins.
“When I come to this garden created by my ancestors, I remember: like these flowers, we all die. To feel life in every breath, in every cup of tea, in every life we take is the way of the Warrior,” says the protagonist of the painting.
We need to understand for ourselves: what really matters to us? Why do we not appreciate life? Why do we begin to appreciate it and the lives of those close to us, only when the moment comes to say goodbye? Why are such notions as honor and true love forgotten?
Forrest Gump
The picture gives us a sense of lightness, flexibility, and motivation to follow our desires. It is the story of a simple man who reached incredible heights, in whom no one believed. Persistence, kindness, belief in himself and positive thinking helped him to reach his goal.
The film shows us that we should not overcomplicate where we can simplify. The main characters tell us – listen to your heart, cast aside all doubts, act and enjoy life, because “To go to the future, you must get rid of the past.”
The Martian
“The Martian” is a tremendously inspiring, stunningly told story of people’s struggle against circumstance. Even in a seemingly hopeless situation, there is sure to be a way out. For this you need: common sense and the ability to highlight the main thing. Of course, if you are not flying into space, it may seem to you that all these skills are not necessary for you. But in fact, this scheme can be applied to any field of activity, to any job or life situation.
The fact that you can always find a solution is told by the main character in the movie, Mark Waltie: “At some point everything will go to hell, and you’ll say, ‘That’s it, I’m done!’ You can either get over it or you can fight it. That’s basically it, you just start. Don’t panic, solve one problem, then another. And when you’ve solved all of them, you go home.”
