I went last night and saw Darkest Hour which I loved (probably because I was born on Churchill’s birthday and he’s always influenced me). I recommend you see it just for the magnificence of his language and the courage of his decision.
Whilst I’m on the matter of movies let me remind you of just a couple I recall right now that I reckon are worth watching, just by yourself or together with your team, for the reasons I give after each movie.
Practical advice and solutions expressed clearly and concisely.
Pick Winno's brain.
- The Pursuit of Happiness- commitment to success spelt out large.
- The Shawshank Redemption- making a plan and despite obstacles on the way quietly sticking to it to realisation.
- The Wolf of Wall Street- in no way because I endorse his illegal activities but because it is a lesson in having a sales system, just like McDonald’s.
- The Greatest Showman- unparalleled commitment and enthusiasm despite mishaps on the way.
- Mr. Holland’s Opus- life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.
There are many other movies that I love for what we can learn to apply to our lives and our businesses.
What movies have impressed you and you recommend that I watch?
P.S. The Shawshank Redemption is also my all-time favourite movie.
Dear Winno,
The Darkest Hour is a most excellent movie. Well acted, well scripted and historically quite accurate. I saw it a few weeks ago and will see it again.
Regards,
Yes David, certainly worth another watch. Incidentally, I’m reading The Churchill Factor by Boris Johnson…. amazed that he writes so well and worth borrowing the book from your library. Or even buying it!
