We all enjoy watching movies, it’s the perfect way to pass
time on a boring day. They make us, laugh and cry and take us to an entirely
different world. But sometimes life can be stressful and tiresome so we all
need some little motivation to keep us going, and what better way to get
motivated than to watch a movie. So, here's a list of movies that I find
extremely motivating, some of you may have already seen a few of these movies
as they are all pretty famous. What’re you waiting for? Make yourself some
popcorn and enjoy!
Released in 2019, based on Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel with
the same name, Little Women is an inspiring tale of life, love, and ambitions.
Written and Directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson,
Florence Pugh, Meryl Streep, Timothee Chalamet and Laura Dern, it chronicles
the lives of the March sisters -Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth-during the time of civil
war where they are raised with genteel poverty by their mother, Marmee, in a
small town, while their father is away with the army to fight the war. They
befriend their rich neighbor’s grandson Laurie and play and go on picnics
together and go on with their lives as children. Each sister has a different
personality and has her ambitions and dreams. The story is set in a time where
women were not considered equal to men and were only believed to be capable of
doing household chores but the four beautiful sisters did not believe in this
notion and worked hard to prove their place in this world. This a perfect movie
to watch when you’re feeling low and looking for some motivation, or just want
