Today you can hear talk that watching modern films will not teach the younger generation anything good. Alas, passing and frankly terrible pictures do not make cinema the best advertisement. However, we will try to prove that a movie can change a person fundamentally, conveying the right thoughts to him.
Often we do not listen to criticism, because admitting our shortcomings is at least unpleasant, and fighting vices is very tiring. The average person draws the best conclusions when he comes to them on his own, without outside help. You may be surprised, but certain films can give impetus to the development even to the most infantile viewer.
What kind of influence might this be? Absolutely anyone. We want to imitate screen characters, acknowledge their way of thinking and subconsciously strive to live up to our new ideals. Let's take a look at a short list movies that will change you for the better after watching. They turned out to be so penetrating and sincere that a person is simply not able to resist the magical effects of these pictures.
The Truman Show
Directed by: Peter Weir
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 1998
Jim carrey - An extremely famous and sought-after actor. Some adore him for his incredible talent, others hate him for his ridiculous antics and grimaces. But Jim, in any case, does not leave us indifferent. Comedy isn't all Kerry is known for, by the way. "The Truman Show" showed him from the other side, as a deep and thoughtful actor.
Truman's life cannot be described as too bright, but you can't call it bad either. The American dream is home, family, friends, work, prosperity. The only problem is that the guy from birth participates in the show on the territory of a specially prepared island and doesn't even realize it. Gradually, a picture of what is happening begins to take shape in the head of a young man, and he decides to escape from a fictional world. However, Truman will have to face the dangers and challenges, because the producer is not going to let him go without a fight.
The movie is flavored with good humor, however, its philosophical overtones do not pass the viewer's attention. At the end in front of the main character there is a difficult choice: go to a world full of cynicism, hypocrisy and duplicity or stay in a show where he can live as comfortably as possible. The character teaches us to value freedom and achieve our goals, despite the circumstances. I would like to hope that Truman fulfilled his dream and went to Fiji.

Payment to another
Director: Mimi Leder
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 2000
From this drama it was quite possible to make a comedy, but Mimi Leder decided to put the squeeze on his masterpiece and produced a very clever film that the audience liked. "Pay Another" is a hymn of generosity and mutual assistance. Today, we think less and less about others, trying to take into account only our own interests, although many will agree that this should not be so.
At the lesson Trevor and his classmates receive an unusual task from the teacher: to try to change the world. The boy lights up with this idea and comes up with a plan - to do good to three people so that they pass it on. Such a pyramid should theoretically lead to the fact that the whole world will become better. At first Trevor's plan completely fails - not all people are ready to accept help and even more so, to provide it to others. However, the result will come from an unexpected direction.
Looks utopian? Of course, many people, by virtue of their character and upbringing, will not be engaged in improving the world. However, within one's own family or social group, such an experiment can produce incredible results. No need to try to help everyone - do good to those who are nearby and it will definitely return to you like a boomerang.

Angel-A
Director: Luc Besson
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 2005
Many people still believe that "Angel-A" is an arthouse project, unworthy of the attention of the mass audience. The reality is much more banal - advertising shows only the visual component, and the true meaning is hidden in the dialogues of the main characters. By the way, the role of the loser Andre went to Jamel Debbuzu, who in childhood received a serious injury to his right hand, as a result of which it atrophied. It is all the more surprising that the actor managed to play a really complex and deep role without focusing on his physical problem.
Andre is in a critical situation - he owes everyone. An infantile guy already decides to commit suicide, but instead he saves a girl who pursued the same goals. Angela, having learned about the problems of a man, promises to help him and begins to earn cash by selling himself (as the viewer is initially made to think). But even money cannot save Andre, because he instantly loses them. Then Angela admits that she is an angel and earned not with her body, but with brute force. The girl advises Andre talk honestly with creditors and it works.
Sometimes acting honestly is enough to get rid of your problems, many of which are far-fetched and exaggerated. Sometimes we spend a lot of moral energy on finding detours, but The solution turns out to be banal and painfully simple.

ten inch hero
Directed by: David McKay
Genre: Romance
Year of issue: 2006
If we want to talk about auteur cinema, "Ten Inch Hero" is a prime example of such a film. There are no special effects and scenery worked out to the smallest detail, the whole story is told in dialogues, but the magical atmosphere of the beach town can enchant and fall in love with the viewer.
Diner workers are kind and helpful people, each of them has its own history and skeletons in the closet. Tracker - a military man who has long abandoned the past, Jen worries about her appearance Tish, on the contrary, is too attractive, but cannot find spiritual intimacy. These are far from all the characters whose story we see on the screen, they are revealed gradually, thoughtfully and jointly solve their problems, although sometimes you have to make several attempts.
The real decoration of the picture - Jensen Ackles in the image of a punk with a sparkling humor. Each character is a personality, the heroes will have to go their own way, overcoming stereotypes and finding happiness. The viewer is literally in an hour and a half you will receive answers to many pressing questions and learn how to push yourself beyond your limits.

The Pursuit of Happyness
Directed by: Gabriele Muccino
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 2006
This tape stands out against the general background of the cast: it played Will Smith and his little son Jadeen. Directorial debut in Hollywood Gabriele Muccino turned out to be more than successful, the film was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, but never received an award.
Chris is experiencing serious financial difficulties - he divorced his wife and stayed with his little son, who sometimes even has nothing to feed. The family sleeps in the subway or the shelter when there are empty seats and dreams of a good life. Chris takes an internship at a brokerage firm, hoping to be the best of 20 candidates. The training will last six months and is not paid, so you will have to be patient.
The touching relationship between father and son left no one indifferent. It is all the more symbolic that now Will and Jayden do not have mutual understanding, and they mirror the events of the film. Nevertheless, the picture teaches to go to the end in any situation and to be kind to loved ones. The film makes you believe in yourself, even if not everything goes smoothly.

We are from the Future
Director: Andrey Maliukov
Genre: Action
Year of issue: 2008
Traditionally, Russian war films have received mixed reactions. Here's to creation Andrey Malyukov a lot of criticism in the style of "this cannot be" has poured out. Certainly, the film is not ideal in terms of historical justice, but does a fantastic action movie have to be like a newsreel?
Four black diggers explore the area where battles took place during the Second World War. Having found the dugout, the guys encounter inexplicable phenomena and are transported to times of bloody battles. How can they return to their era? It seems, there is only the path of redemption.
Today, when history is being rewritten everywhere with the light hand of politicians, it is especially important to treat it correctly. To many, the war seems to be something distant and unrealistic, because a lot of time has passed since its end. However, these events must be remembered and their participants respected in order to avoid the mistakes of the past and appreciate what we have now. That is why, "We are from the future" is a very useful film in terms of personality formation.

Always say yes"
Directed by: Peyton Reed
Genre: comedy
Year of issue: 2008
In this picture Jim carrey showcases his comedic talent to the fullest. Yes, and the situation is conducive - a very light, airy and life-affirming film "Always say yes" - an example of a funny, not vulgar and very kind tape, from which you can learn a lot.
Karl can not be called a very sociable person. Every day he performs the same actions, not wanting to change anything in his life. His wife left Karl, and his career stalled, a little more and even old friends will refuse the man. After a chance meeting with a classmate, the protagonist enters a training where he is advised to answer "yes" to any offer.
Oddly enough, but to a certain extent, this method works. We constantly turn down new opportunities out of fear., internal uncertainty or laziness. But only an active person is able to achieve success.
The film is the complete opposite of such films as "Knockin 'on Heaven" и "Until I played in the box". Here the hero of Jim Carrey begins to appreciate every moment of life on time, receives a sea of vivid emotions, respect from friends and even love as a reward. If you say “yes” more often, it definitely won’t get worse, but you still need to think a little with your head.

House of Sun
Director: Garik Sukachev
Genre: Romance
Year of issue: 2009
What is freedom - everyone decides for himself. "House of Sun" very interesting beats this question and allows you to draw your own conclusions. The picture is criticized a lot for a theme alien to the heirs of the Soviet era, but Garika Sukacheva, who is better known as a singer, turned out to be a very non-trivial tape.
exemplary student Sasha meets a group of hippies. Her life is changing dramatically, because new friends live in a completely different way, as the girl was taught from childhood. The focus is on the confrontation between conservatism and free creativity, which is still happening now, if you look closely.
Which is better: sterile stability or inner freedom, which each person can reward himself with? It seems, they are two sides of the same coin. The romanticization of the creative subculture is balanced by the final credits, where they tell about the further fate of the characters in the picture. However, it is useful for each of us to feel the atmosphere of freedom and at least sometimes leave our own comfort zone. A similar message is given to us by the “Always Say Yes” tape, an overview of which you can see above.

1+1/ Untouchables
Director: Olivier Nakache, Eric Toledano
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 2011
Many will say that this film is one of the best in the history of cinema, and it's hard to argue something. Incredible a touching story of friendship between an aristocratic invalid and a black bully captivated the viewer and gave him the opportunity to look at familiar things from a new angle. Today it is not customary to joke about physical disabilities, but the tandem of directors did it so tactfully that even the European tolerant public has nothing to complain about.
Philip ended up in a wheelchair after an accident and now needs constant care. Nurses quickly leave, because messing around with a paralyzed person is a lot of work. Everything changes when Philippe hires Drissa - a Senegalese with criminal inclinations, who does not feel pity for the disabled, but perceives him as a whole person.
You can talk a lot about how this film is kind and heartfelt. The comedic and tragic components are linked extremely tightly here, so it is sometimes difficult to understand even one's own emotions. The picture has a calming effect on a person, allowing you to get rid of dark thoughts and soften your heart a little.

Green book
Directed by: Peter Farrelly
Genre: comedy
Year of issue: 2018
This tape can not be called a clone of the movie "1 + 1 / Untouchables", but some similarities are hard to miss. However Peter Farrelly skillfully changed the subject and even created new, really interesting characters. Green Book, like "1 + 1", is based on real events, and this allows us to hope that beautiful stories still happen.
Tony - A bouncer at a local club that was closed for renovations. In order not to sit at home, he gets a job as a driver for a black musician. Tony is not the most tolerant person, and after all, fellow travelers will have to go to the southern states, where in the 60s the colored population was treated with a fair amount of disgust.
The entire timing of the tape takes place in an unusually kind and cozy atmosphere. Appropriate jokes and drama, mixed on the basis of racial inequality, allow the viewer to feel the events and empathize with the main characters. After viewing, a feeling of unprecedented peace comes and there is simply no strength left for negative emotions.
