Inspiring Movies - Braveheart

Hi my friends,

It has been awhile for me to share my top 10 inspiring movies with you. Apology for that as i was having a crazy time in my professional job. There have been so many people moving around within my company that we have all taken up more roles and responsibilites..with that also our time.

Been watching movies at home to recharge myself..been to watch I AM LEGEND by Will Smith..but frankly i dont think it is a blockbuster, a great movie. Will Smith is great again in his acting skills, bringing out the passion and desperation in him. But the plot is just too plain for my liking to be a Top movie.

Instead, i was impressed by BRAVEHEART, a dvd that i re-watched over the last weekend. Impressive speech by Wlliam Wallace (by Mel Gibson) that rallies the whole people army to fight for their freedom.

Check out this short video:



Cheers

Inspiring Movies - Ratatouille (WOW-Cartoon)

"Ratatouille" is about a lovable rat - Remy - who constantly risks his life in an expensive French restaurant because of his love for good food, as well as a burning desire to become a gourmet chef. Obviously, this is rather far-fetched for a rat but opportunity knocks when a young boy, who desperately needs to keep his job at the restaurant despite not being able to cook to save his life, makes Remy a partner. The two of them learn to avoid the insane head chef, bring the rest of Remy's family up to his culinary standards, win the boy a girlfriend, and of course, produce the finest ratatouille in all of France!



Remy (voice of Patton Oswalt) is a suburban rat who loves good food. His senses are so refined that he refuses to eat garbage and is used by his clan as a "poison detector" since he can tell if something is toxic by sniffing it. His desire, however, is to become a chef like his TV hero Gusteau. He gets a chance to achieve his dreams when he meets Linguini (Lou Romano), a kitchen cleaner at a Paris restaurant, also called Gusteau's. Hiding under Linguini's chef's hat, Remy teaches the boy to create dishes of culinary delight. Soon, Gusteau's is the talk of Paris again and Linguini wins the heart of fellow chef Colette (Janeane Garofalo). However, not everybody is elated. The head chef (Ian Holm), who is jealous of Linguini's newfound fame, wants revenge. Also, food critic Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole) has decided to have a meal at Gusteau's - and on that very evening, Remy goes missing.

With even more realistic graphics and action seen from the point-of-view of the rats, "Ratatouille" gets our interest right from the start. Director Bird has taken computer animation one notch higher and a chase scene through the streets of Paris and onto boats on the River Seine is so splashingly real that we forget it is CGI.

Sometimes, we even forget that Remy is a rat! Bird fashions the movie as a parable about racism and tolerance. The conflict is between rats and humans, and members of each species get to learn a little about the other. There is also the classic Cyrano de Bergerac angle that has Remy teaching the boy to cook (instead of wooing the lady of his dreams).

The action in "Ratatouille" gets along like yummy French cuisine - up to the point when we see hordes of rats invading the kitchen and cooking meals. These sequences must be a put-off to parents in the audience and they could have been avoided or toned down. Still, with its slogan "Anyone Can Cook", the movie celebrates passion in creativity and the pursuit of excellence and it should inspire the kids in the audience.

To sum up, let's take a quote from Anton Ego: "Not everyone can be a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere." Our compliments to master chef Brad Bird for this delightful repast. "Ratatouille" is not as entertaining as "The Incredibles", but it is close enough.

But It is truly an Inspiring Movie...There are certain scenes in the show that we can catched glimpses of Inspirational Words from the characters in the cartoon show.

DREAMS COME TRUE IF YOU HAVE A PASSION & BELIEVE IN IT!

Top 10 Inspiring Movies - 300

Hey Planet,

Managed to catch a DVD on "300" - fiction that is based on a true story, but has a twist to it. Drawn from the vivid pages of Frank Miller and Lynn Valery's graphic novel, 300 is the epic story of the Battle of Thermopylae (480 B.C.) where 300 Spartan warriors fought invading armies from Persia against all odds of survival. Stylized, gritty, and graphic, 300 impeccably re-creates imagery from the book while offering incredible intensity in the live-action format

I was totally glued to the TV screen for the whole 2hr show. Whole show was full of high-tempo movements, fights and mind-games.

Truly a movie worth mentioning - It has PASSION, LOVE and DETERMINATION all written over it. Check out the video clip below:

Managed to get hold and watched Rocky Balboa..a movie that is acted by 60years old Syl..and highly recommended by viewers.....indeed an Inspiring Movie, that teaches us that Fear is not a Factor, when you aim to succeed and to Win!

"It is not about how hard you hit, but about how hard you get hit, and keep moving forward. It is about how much you can take, and move forward. If you know what is your worst, go out and get the worst, but you gonna be willing to take the hit....In Order to WIN!!!"

Inspiring Movies - 4th Nominations (Be Inspired!)

Akeelah and the Bee

Akeelah and the Bee was a film which truly inspired me as an Individual. A film in which shows a young black girl coming from an urban neighborhood, raised by a single mother, but still motivated and inspired to use her gift of spelling to the highest degree. During my time watching this film, my emotions were overwhelmed with a sense of positive energy in which inspired me to be motivated to continue doing my best in life, and not settling for excuses for where and how I grew up, and the failures I encountered and taking every bit of my not so positive past to strengthen my positive future.

Following are some Powerful & Mind-Busting Quotes that i captured and realised in that movie:

"In a place where dreams are hard to come by, one girl will start a journey...."

"When odds are a Million to One......and Talent is only a Beginning......"

"Our Deepest Fear is not that we are inadequate. Our Deepest Fear is that we are powerful beyond measures...That means we should not be afraid..Afraid of What?? Afraid of ME..Myself!"

"It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IN A DREAM..UNTIL YOU CAN BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

Inspiring Movies - Success is not by chance

Hi,

PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS

Too tired of reading motivational books (so many of them outside) and paying for motivational seminars and workshops?!? Yeah. It happens to me sometimes - too many books to read..Have you ever thought of getting inspiration from movies??? Those shown in cinemas and easily available in DVD/VCD rental shops?

I am in the process of compiling the 10 MOST Inspiring Shows that have ever graced our cinemas, and to share it with the rest of the world!

This one is my favourite: - Pursuit of Happyness (acted by Will Smith)

It is based on a real story of a successful stock-broker in united states, and talks about how he Believe that Everthing is Posssible and that he will be Successful one day! This is an awesome movie that is Heart Moving & Powerfully Inspiring!!! It made me believe that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! Art of Visualization has also been practiced by him - of visualizing that he will be driving the sports car, and giving his son a real beautiful home. By the way, the kid in the show is his real son! Awesome! For those that wanted to know about the song at the end, it is "Soar" by Chrsitina Aguilera.

Secrets: My tears almost drop into my mouth when i was watching this show. Now i visualize myself in his shoes - and will work towards my own success in order to give my family a nice beautiful home!



Some Inspiring Phrases that Captures my Attention in this movie:

1) Don't ever let somebody tell you that you can't do something. Not even me!
2) If you have a dream, Protect it!
3) I can do it!
4) People that can't do it sometimes themselves, they want to tell you that you can't do it too!
5) You want something, Go Get It! PERIOD!
