In this busy world, we often feel tired because of work and study pressure. At this time, a good movie can often let us relax and give us a steady stream of positive energy. Today, I would like to recommend five excellent European and American movies, which have touching and thought-provoking stories, and I believe they will give you a lot of inspiration in our life journey. These five movies are The Shawshank Redemption, When Happiness Knocks, Forrest Gump, Mindhunter and The Bucket List.
I. The Shawshank Redemption
Synopsis:
A murder case sends Andy, a banker, to prison, where he is charged with the murder of his wife and her lover. His first appearance at Shawshank Prison impresses the prison's "big brother," Red. Reed helps him get a rock hammer and a poster of an actress, and the two become friends in need
. Soon, Andy becomes a prison librarian and uses his financial knowledge to help prison officials avoid taxes, which attracts the attention of the warden, who recruits him to help him launder money.
Once in a while, he learns that a newly-imprisoned burglar can testify to help clear him of a murder charge. With a glimmer of hope, Andy approaches the warden in the hope that he can get his case overturned. The sinister and hypocritical warden pretends to promise Andy, but behind the scenes he sends someone to kill the thief, killing his only hope of getting out of prison legally. Frustrated, Andy does not despair, and on a stormy night of lightning and thunder, a decades-old hidden escape plan allows him to redeem himself and regain his freedom! His old friend Reed, inspired and helped by him, also bravely runs towards freedom.
Recommendation:
The Shawshank Redemption is a movie that makes people trust in the goodness of human nature, and can't help but shed tears. The excellent acting, heart-wrenching plot, and intriguing philosophy of life in the movie are refreshing and well received by the audience. In my opinion, this movie shows me the courage to never give up and the desire for a better future. Whenever I think of Andy's determined gaze, I believe that no matter how big the dilemma is, as long as we persevere, we will eventually usher in the dawn of hope.
Two: "When Happiness Knocks"

Chris managed to get an internship at a stock investment company, and even though he was unpaid and had only a five percent chance of success, he still fought hard, and his son was his strength. He's seen it all, hiding with his son in public **** toilets in subway stations and living in a church shelter ......

When I saw Chris face the adversity of life and never give up, I was moved by it. This movie showed me that in difficult times, as long as we always keep our faith and face them bravely, happiness will come as promised.
