42
This is a movie based on the true-life events of the first black baseball player Jackie Robinson. The most prominent theme in the film is race and how people of color were not viewed as equals. But Jackie Robinson was as persistent as they come, and with a few people believing in him, he went on to be an icon in the game.
The movie emphasizes the importance of change and the need for people to step up for the transition to be realized. If you want to see something new in the world, it is up to you to start it. But fight with your actions and not your fists.
Forest Gump
As far as famous movies go, this is the top of the pile. Forest Gump was someone who was believed to have a low IQ. The movie portrays his disability as being so terrible that he could barely understand what was happening around him.
But his love for his family and friends was incredible, and despite all the hate he got for being different he only showed love to everyone. Despite his disability, he was still quite the athlete. In the end, he was known and loved for the same reason he was hated; being different.
Freedom fighters
Another film based on the racial tension in the US and education. The movie starts with a group of school miscreants who everyone had lost hope in. They are ravaged by hate and gang wars, many not expecting themselves to amount into anything other than another gang member or to die.
But a new teacher in the school believes in the group, so much so, that they start believing in themselves. In the end, the divided group of students form a united front who love and care about each other. The movie shows the power of education, and that it brings more than just reading and writing.
Dead Poet’s Society
This is a film for anyone who feels like the traditional methods of education are not for them. It revolves around a teacher who is more about connecting with his students on a personal level and understanding their needs than just going to class.
His unorthodox methods of teaching enable his class to grow from a personal place, explore new things and become an inspiration to others. The teacher also shows his students that there is more to life than just school and you need to be more well-rounded.
