To find three of the most motivational movies to have ever graced the cinema, be sure to read on.
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
Perhaps the most motivational movie ever made, The Pursuit of Happyness is a film that details the misfortunes of Chris Gardner. Brought to life expertly by Will Smith, this character is a struggling entrepreneur that has to battle homelessness in his attempt to create a better life for himself and his young son (who is actually played by Jaden Smith, Will’s real life son).
As stated at Medium, here are three of the inspirational life lessons that you stand to learn from watching The Pursuit of Happyness:
- Protect your dream
- Setbacks are a way of life
- Believe in yourself, even when others don’t
Deadpool (2016)
Due to how downright funny it is, Deadpool might not seem all that motivational on the surface. Behind the laughs and title character’s twisted sense of humor, there is actually a lot of inspiration to be found in this movie. Wade Wilson, who is played superbly by Ryan Reynolds, has his world turned upside down when he is tortured, disfigured, and transformed into the character known as Deadpool. The fact that this character gets on with his life despite the trauma he has suffered should act as a lesson — no matter what bad things happen to you in life, even if the trouble that befalls you is the result of another person’s actions, you should push forward and attempt to be happy in the moment. If you live like that, nothing will ever be able to faze you.
