Pay It Forward was a novel that was later written as a screenplay. The movie came out in the year 2001 or 2002. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. The movie is about a math pyramid (oh Im sorry that I dont remember what they are called..anyway, its meant to help with multiplication) and how in applying this math pyramid as favors instead of numbers (first person does three favors, those three people each do three favors, the second set of three does another set of three) that we can better influence those around us and make the world a more positive place. Since the movie was released, there have been reported cases of this throughout the US.

Well the pyramid you say about is called a Charitable Scheme, where you do good to three persons only in condition that they do good the three more persons each under the above the applied conditions. Very nice selection. It was perhaps the best movie of 2000.

Ever been inspired by a movie? Okay friend, thanks for recommending "A Wednesday" i will be sure to keep an eye out for it. Is that a new movie? Sometimes I have dreams about terroism, they are so scary then when I wake up and realize it's only a dream, I often go into prayer for the countries that are going through this type of thing. take care and God bless you. thanks again for the recommendation

A Wednesday was made in early 2008. It stars the like Nasserudeen Shah and Anupam Kher. It relates the story of a commoner who tries to rage an offence against the increasing terrorism. You can watch a trailer of it if you like.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI3E1jneWvg

The movie kalapani is a Malayalam movie in 1996 abut the resistance ofg an extrimist Indian freedom fighter against the British government in India. He was deported to Kalapani, a sort of Guantánamo Bay in Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. It is a very moving movie.

Hello Dear friend, I'm glad to hear that you've been inspired by a movie. So far I haven't seen the movie you recommended but I will try to see if if I get a chance. I must confess that sometimes it's kind of hard for me to keep up with what's going on in Foreign made movies. I think the last one that I seen was called Memoirs of a geisha. That was pretty good so be sure to see if you get the chance. I only wished that I could have been able to understand the langu. So take care and Oh, btw can you please add me as a friend. So that we can chat later. Thanks in advance

I was inspired by a movie called "The Freedom Writers" It talks of a teacher who puts her effort to teach a group of kids the society has given up on. The kids weren't interested in school but because of their teacher, their grades started improving. My teacher showed me this video and it reminds me a lot of her and made me appreciate teachers more for what they do.

Have you ever been Inspired by a movie....... Oh I know just what you mean animegirl. I saw one similar to that but I can't remember the name of it. I do remember that Morgan Freeman was the main actor starring in it and he went into an inner city to deal with some of the children that society had all but turned their backs on. It's amazing what can happen in the life of a child, when they have just one person that cares. I really do respect most teachers and the jobs that they do. But for God's sake I don't believe that teaching is the kind of thing that's for everybody. I feel that some people need to simply leave it alone as they can cause more damage to a child's self esteem. I was reading about a Music teacher just yesterday that laughed at a girl because she couldn't sing the way that he was trying to teach her to do it. That was just wrong. A teacher should never be laughing at a student. It shows their immaturity when they do something like that. Anyhow I'm glad you enjoyed Freedom Writer's. I might have to check it out sometime. Take care and have a great day!

I like tony jaa and his moves he's like a rubber! from that I search a martial arts school and learn how to defend my self. I don't have any belt but I believe I can manage to defend. until now I am enhancing my ability in creating a street fighting techniques. I like watching UFC and Pride too!

Oh good for you friend that you've been inspired. I like it when you can learn something good from watching a movie. Heck your whole life could even change for the better as a result of watching a really good movie. I've seen a few of the old Bruce Lee movies and as far as getting a black belt, I believe you can do it if you just stick to it. I got a little 14 year old newphew that already has his black belt in tai kwon do....... He is really good, I'm not going try to whip his but, no sirree!

I generally get momentary inspiration to be like the main character after watching the movie. But it scarcely lasts long. Sometime I hate the movie, if it is too bad, and I feel like going out of the theater. I remembered the movie that I liked the most is Untouchables. I hated epic movie and the superhero movie. The movie that stirred me the most is Blood Diamond and Bombay(hindi).

Okay friend, it's nice to hear that you do get inspired from watching a movie. I usually don't care to watch them if they have a lot of blood and gore in them. It tend to mess with my dream life and i don't much care for my sleep time to be interrupted with scary nightmares, resulting from the blood, gore and all of that. happy mylot!

am catholic and got very inspired by the movie, the messenger. am not proud of that because for many, the messenger was not a good movie. many thought milla jovovich career was over. in spite of being catholic, and not really believing in the divinity of christ (like, believe it or not,most priests!), i have to say that action in support of your beliefs is what is needed today. or maybe it was indeed milla jhovovich that inspired me! hahaha!
