6. "Three Fools Bollywood"
Director: Rajkumal Hirani
Starring: Amir Khan / Karina Kapoor / Maddavan / Salman Josh / Omi Wawida /
Genre: Drama / Comedy / Romance / Song and Dance
Country of Production: India
Languages: Hindi / Urdu / English
Release date: 2011
The film uses an interlude technique to tell the story of the university between the three protagonists, Fahan, Raja and Rancher. Rancher is the protagonist of the protagonists, super charismatic, talented, thoughtful, loves machines and engineering, does not play cards according to the rules, and openly confronts the teacher.
If you don't become an engineer, you can't live in a big house, drive a good car, even if you can get good grades by rote, you can get ahead, which leads to fierce competition, severe division between rich and poor, and high suicide rates... This is the current state of society and the case of Indian cramming education.
Rancher single-handedly resisted such an educational model, opposed rote memorization, and advocated applying what he had learned, which also raised a wake-up call for the current situation of test-taking education that still prevails in Asia.
This maverick Rancher often hangs a sentence "everything is good", his optimism also affects everyone around him, he encourages the other two friends, in addition to the family mission, responsibility, and spiritual shackles, but also have the courage to face the problem and dare to fight for the ideal.
Another aspect of the film is to break free from the shackles of tradition and encourage the pursuit of true love, "When you fall in love with someone, you will feel the wind whispering when you see her, and the moon behind you is like a jade plate." This also caused the principal's second daughter, Bea, to finally leave her copper-smelling fiancé and go thousands of miles away to pursue Rancher.

Everything you want is here, and all your confusion can be found here.

I stepped into the jungle,
Because I want to live a meaningful life.
I want to live deeply
Absorb all the essence of life
Destroy everything that is not life
Lest I end my life
Find yourself never alive.

There are some good movies that look like nothing when you watch them, but in fact it has shocked you. So that in a long life, you will often suddenly think of the people who are in that story.

9. Schindler's List
Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Liam Neeson/ Ralph Fiennes
Genre: Drama/History/War
Country/Region of Production: United States
Filmed in: 1993
The film is black and white, so the windows are white and the piano is black; the sky is white, the earth is black, the skin is white, the coat is black, the snowflakes are white, and the blood is black.
The fear of death itself was thus diluted, and the humanity and despair of the future trampled on by the Nazis were pushed to their limits.
Schindler's list, for the more than a thousand Jews, was a glimmer of light within reach in the endless darkness. We are not talking about history and human nature, but about our responsibility as individuals.
The original Schindler was a well-known local Nazi stalwart, a speculator who was good at using various connections to grab the maximum profit. His factory employed large numbers of Jews not to save them, but because they were the cheapest labor.
But after witnessing the brutal massacre of Jews by the Germans, his humanity, buried in money, exploded from the deepest recesses of his soul. He scattered his family wealth and used his ingenuity to begin to save as many Jews as possible.
He could have stayed out of it, but the human conscience prevented him from standing idly by, aversion to sin and killing, compassion and mercy for his fellow human beings, a mission entrusted to him by history and opportunity.
He felt his responsibility to help these suffering people. At the end of the film, when Germany announces its surrender and Schindler bids farewell to the workers in his factory, they give him a gold ring engraved with the words "To save a man is to save the whole world."
10. The Shawshank Redemption
Director: Frank Delabonte
Starring: Tim Robbins/Morgan Freeman/Bob Gunton
Genre: Drama/Crime
Filmed in: 1994
“Remember，hope is a good thing，maybe the best of things andno good thing ever dies！” (Remember, faith is good, and perhaps the best in the world, and that good things will never die.) ）
Although Andy is in prison, his heart has already followed the faith and flown away. We have no way of knowing from what moment he had the idea of digging a hole to escape, perhaps at the moment when he carved his name, perhaps the moment he found the stone wall soft, walking or staying, life or death, the choice of minutes and seconds seems to be hasty, but it is his perseverance and action that is supported.
Twenty years of unremitting digging day after day, hundreds of handwritten application letters, five hundred meters of foul-smelling and dirty sewers, the numbers are only records, time is worth witnessing, and the hands are measured by the depth of despair and freedom.
When he finally escaped, the downpour washed away the haze around him, he raised his hands and shouted with joy, and countless viewers were deeply moved by this scene.
You know, life teaches you the instinct to survive, but also will make you satisfied with the status quo, what motivates you to keep moving forward is the belief and pursuit of the future, is not willing to fall, the courage and determination to survive.
Just like climbing a mountain, many people look at the towering peaks and choose to retreat halfway, and they comfort themselves that even climbing to the top of the mountain is nothing more than a similar scenery; but only those who really stand on the top of the mountain have the qualifications to verify and have the opportunity to witness.
Life is a river that stretches forward, and we keep running forward. However, when the black wind passes through the chamber, please do not forget the original intention, do not forget why you ran, why you insisted, do not forget what kind of yourself you want to be.
