Three Inspiring Movies Worth Every Minute

It's a tiring day but I'm not skipping writing a post today so I'm going to be very brief with my thoughts on these movies. They are the movies that made my last week interesting with their beautiful and inspiring stories. I downloaded them randomly and they turned out to be worth it.

Unconditional Love (2012)

I think the title led me to download this one. One may think love is what many understand how to show but I don't consider that I know it well enough, especially the unconditional kind. So I got curious and surprisingly, it took me in a direction I least expected but it's well explained.

It's a story about a woman who lost the will to live after her husband died from a random act of violence. She decided to take her life but just when she is about to shoot herself, she witness a little girl get hit by a car and had to help her to the hospital. At the hospital, she meets her childhood best friend who shows her his world that changes her thoughts and gives her will to live.

I love the story more when I knew it's based on a true story, it has a bit of sad realistic end. 8/10.

Where Hope Grows (2014)

I saw a comment about this movie where someone said "It's the first movie that was very realistic about down syndrome and in a positive light", it had me curious because I don't know much about the syndrome so I decided to see it.

The movie is about a baseball player who his professional career was cut short, wasting away his life with drinks and neglecting his teenage daughter. Until he is awakened and inspired to live better when he gets a hug from a down syndrome, Produce who works at a local grocery store. Produce help those questioning life in the negative sense even though he had only himself.

I think this story teaches acceptance in a deeper level, I learned that and more from the story 7/10.

Ordinary Angels (2024)

The title was so unrelated until it was so perfect for the story, it had a kinda slow and uninteresting start that it made me think so. I love how strong the characters playing the roles were, especially the female lead. And I also read that it's a story that is based on a true life story.

It's a story about a hairdresser, a alcoholic, not on good terms with her son, who decided to help a father save his critically ill daughter by soliciting for help from the entire community. She learns about herself in the process as she is discouraged, left alone and misunderstood in her act of kindness even by the father of the child.

The end scene of this movie was so heart warming and beautiful, had smiles all over. 8/10.
