There is not a single individual that doesn’t want to be successful. Everyone wants to achieve everything they have ever wanted, and live their dream. People use various motivational tools to get inspired and get the push that they require– be it a book, a teacher or a workshop. Since decades, cinema has been proven to be one of the most influential tools of media. Thus, if you show famous success stories on screen, you can motivate millions of viewers to hold on to their dreams and strive to achieve what they always wanted to. There are several people in the history of the world that are now considered as legends. They have been through a lot of struggle and have seen a lot of highs and lows in their life. They have lived a life and survived struggles a normal person can’t. There are many such legends whose stories are not known by many and are begging to be told. So, making a movie on these stories can prove to be a good medium to let the world know about their struggles. Majority of these stories revolve around people who are average and lead a common life. This can increase the relativity factor among the viewers, which would in turn inspire them more.
There are many makers who try to show such success stories on screen, but only a few are able to succeed. One of the best examples of an effective success story was “Forrest Gump.” It was an absolutely spot-on movie based on a novel by Winston Groom about a low-witted man who was gifted and how he used his talents and abilities to get successful in life. The movie was immensely successful and went on to win several Academy Awards. You must have watched “The Pursuit of Happyness.” It is a wonderful movie based on the real-life story of Chris Gardner. He lost everything, including a place to sleep in, and struggles to find a job while roaming around penniless with his son. The movie shows the miseries that Chris goes through just to find a place to make his son go to sleep at night. Finally, after all the struggles (spoiler alert), when he gets a job, the viewers are moved as much as him at that moment. This is the power of a movie that shows an inspiring success story. The viewers are engaged in the life and events of the protagonist, so much that they actually feel all the emotions that they go through in the movie. Another factor that adds to the viewing experience is that the audience knows that it is real. This increases the make-belief factor of a story, as we know most of it has really happened. There are a few more such movies that deal with real-life success stories, such as “Gold”, “The Wolf Of Wall Street”, “There Will Be Blood” and “12 Years A Slave”. Thus, pick an inspiring story, work hard on it, research well and adapt it for the screens to inspire millions that watch your cinematic gem!
