Here’s a blog post that I wrote, inspired by the lessons in Click: Are You Putting Any Parts of Your Life On Hold? Kudos to Adam Sandler too for his acting. A great plot with a provoking message, and humor injected throughout the film to keep it light-hearted. There is this really moving scene near the end where I cry every time I watch it. I really love this film and highly recommend this to everyone. IMO, it drives home the message that “every moment is a moment to be lived” more strongly than Peaceful Warrior. It gets you thinking about life’s moments and how each moment is no less important than another. At first it may seem like that, but halfway through you realize that there’s something deeper that the film is driving. Initially this seems fun, but after a while he realizes that it comes with unexpected consequences - which you have to watch to find out.įorget the trailer/marketing which comes across as your typical Hollywood slapstick comedy.
He uses it to skip past moments that he finds mundane/boring like family dinner, shower, and sickness. These have same “what if”/ alternate reality scenarios that get you thinking.Ĭlick is about a man (Adam Sandler) who receives a magical remote controller that allows him to rewind, stop, and fast forward through time. Similar movies worth checking: It’s a Wonderful Life (1946 film) and A Christmas Carol. If you continue what you’re doing today, where is it going to lead you? Would you have a lifetime of achievements and wealth, but no real friends or loved ones to speak of? Would you have lived a life conforming to norms while never taking action on your goals? A life living for others but not for yourself? Would you be someone bitter at life and at the end of it yourself?Īnd would this be a life you want? If not, what are you going to do to change this outcome? What I do like is the film gets you thinking about what you’re currently doing in life. Both are achievable - it’s a matter of expanding our capacity, prioritizing, and planning. It encourages people to justify not pursuing career/wealth goals because they have a family, or that they shouldn’t pursue love/ have a family because they’re busy with work. It’s a great movie that gets you thinking about life, though I’m not in exact agreement with the implicit message that life has to be either/or - in this case, either wealth or family, not both.
I think a large part is because I already came to these conclusions myself before, so I’m just not the right target audience for the movie. When I was watching, there were many times when “Socrates” (the guide) said something or revealed a lesson I already knew and already guessed he was going to say (in the same exact words too). While I agree with the overall message of the movie and I feel that there were some great moments (like the rooftop scene), I found the movie quite slow paced and predictable.

As there are videos throughout this post, if you’re reading this outside of the blog, click this link to see the full post. Following that is a simplified list of movies that didn’t make the top 13 but are worth checking out. The first part of the post features 13 films complete with trailer, description, and my personal review if I’ve watched that show before. I’ve compiled a list of great inspirational movies with important life lessons to learn. While they’re not exactly in the “inspirational” genre, they are inspiring to me in their own way. I do love superhero movies (think X-Men, Marvel movies) and romantic comedies ( Enchanted, Ever After, Anastasia) - the former for its good triumphing over evil and epic humanity-centered messages, the latter for the light-heartedness, humor, and romance.
To be honest, I don’t watch A LOT of movies. Get some popcorn before you continue reading! :D We’re going into the topic of movies - specifically, inspirational movies with meaningful life lessons to learn. Today’s post is different from the usual. I would be really grateful if you could suggest similar inspirational movies that can help me in self-improvement. After reading the comment, I watched the movie and really felt a positive change in me. Celes, I was reading one of your articles and noticed a reader mentioning the movie ‘Yes Man’ in his comment.
