The country has been torn out of quiet and cozy socialism and thrown into the abyss of market relations. People are scared and confused, prices are rising, factories are closing. Such turning points in history are always accompanied by the emergence of an army of scammers looking to make easy money.
The main character of the film, Sergei Mamontov, comes up with a simple and ingenious scheme for taking money from the population with impunity. It issues its own securities, conducts an aggressive advertising campaign, and in a matter of months increases the number of investors to several tens of millions. Mamontov himself literally became rich, his first clients managed to earn a lot of money from this business, the subsequent ones, at best, remained “with their own”, and most of the people simply lost their deposits. This is the sad fate of any financial pyramid.
The main motivating idea of the film is the extraordinary personality and powerful intellect of the protagonist, which help him implement global projects. These qualities help him effectively resist his ill-wishers, even in moments of loss, being many steps ahead of them.

One against all and all for one
But the scenario is worse than just a streak of bad luck: the whole world goes to war against the character. You have to stand up against the system, take your own and hold it with an iron grip.
"Dallas Buyers Club"
The story of the struggle of the real American Ron Woodroof with death and for common sense against the inert bureaucratic system and the prejudices that have gripped society. Ron, a simple cowboy from Texas, learns that he has AIDS. This news is a real personal apocalypse, but the hero Matthew McConaughey, despite everything, does not intend to die, although this is happening even before the widespread dissemination of ARV therapy. He wants to manage his life himself, to ride it like a bull at a rodeo, not allowing himself to be thrown to the ground. Moreover, having found an opportunity to extend his life, he begins to help others. The trouble is that new drugs for the disease have not yet been approved by the US federal authorities, which means they are prohibited for sale. The “Buyers Club” created by the hero is a place for inventive sales of drugs that are still unlicensed in America, which save lives, despite the opposition of the Ministry of Health.
"The Shawshank Redemption"

Unfairly convicted banker Andy Dufresne is used to being in control and staying free.

And how he carries out his plan is better to see once. Frank Darabont's film is the all-time leader in audience ratings, and it's not just because of the masterful direction and Stephen King's story at the heart of the plot. The story of how patience and courage overcome any obstacles and lead the hero to a sunny town by the warm sea is needed by everyone at any time.

And everything would be fine if it were not for the state machine, which is in a hurry to take the girl away and send her to a “normal” family. Now the hero must prove his parental love and responsibility at the trial, where the “retarded” are not given any discounts. The Iron Lady lawyer (Michelle Pfeiffer) unexpectedly agrees to help her imperfect father, but her strength is unlikely to be enough to win. But openness, tenderness and, again, love, ultimately overcome any inertia.
Hidden Figures (2016)
The best way to get inspired is motivational films about success and overcoming seemingly indestructible obstacles. In the American state of Virginia in the mid-20th century, such barriers were still racism and sexism. The central characters of this movie are three black women. They are not ordinary housewives, but talented mathematicians who made an invaluable contribution to NASA’s calculations for the first astronaut’s flight into space. In addition to interesting and motivating scientific problems, girls had to solve social and everyday problems unknown to whites and men.

The most motivating films about sports and success in life are those that tell the stories of real athletes. These include an anthology of three short stories dedicated to famous Russians who together brought their country more than fifty gold medals at world championships and nine Olympic ones.
Foreign commentators gave the athletes eloquent nicknames. Gymnast Svetlana Khorkina was called the “queen of the parallel bars,” swimmer Alexander Popov was called the “Russian torpedo,” and the invincible wrestler Alexander Karelin was respectfully called the “asphalt paver.” But what was the motivation and path of each of them to a place on the podium?

Always say yes"
Young businessman Carl Allen preferred to answer all requests and proposals with a decisive “no.” This line of behavior brings him a lot of problems - he doesn’t get along with his colleagues, it’s difficult for him to find a girl, he has no friends. One day a man finds himself at a strange seminar, where he is convinced to replace a dull and joyless “no” with a positive “yes”.
After this, Karl's life changes dramatically.

But gradually, the new line of behavior begins to pay dividends. The main goroi meets his love, gets promoted at work, makes a lot of friends and even saves the life of one of them.
The film, in a light and ironic manner, shows that business is often built on deception, and a sudden change of course can lead to the most unpredictable consequences, both pleasant and not so pleasant.

About sport:
Sports success stories always inspire people. For this reason, I could not ignore the films listed below.
No. 1. "Coach Carter" (2005)
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Rob Brown, Robert Ri'chard, Rick Gonzales
Duration: 2 hours 16 minutes
A true story that happened at the university.
Coach Carter takes the university's basketball team under his wing and transforms them from a bunch of wild animals into a group of professional athletes who are able to control their emotions. Victory for them becomes not a goal, but a consequence of discipline and respect for the coach.
“Just because you want something doesn’t mean it will be given to you. Sometimes you have to take it yourself.”
The film highlights not only overcoming the physical difficulties of athletes, but also the social barrier. Teenagers find themselves unnecessary to their own parents. But life shows that if your own parents don’t need you, this does not mean that there won’t be people who do.
No. 2. “The Man Who Changed Everything” (2011)
Starring: Brad Pitt, Chris Pratt, Jonah Hill
Duration: 1 hour 6 minutes
You love watching films based on real events. Here you are!
“The Man Who Changed Everything” is the story of one poor American team and the manager who managed to turn it into one of the best. He will completely revolutionize the baseball industry.
Another example of how a person who went against the system alone managed to achieve success.
“The person who breaks through the wall first always hits the hardest.”
No. 3. “Goal” (2005)
Starring: Kuno Becker, Stephen Dillane, Alessandro Nivola
Duration: 2 hours
For those who understand football, I advise you to watch this film. The path of a young football player, starting as a boy from the yard and ending with a world football star, is very colorfully shown.
I also recommend watching “Goal 2” - this is a continuation of the story about a guy who believed in his dream.
Joy (2015)
A good motivational film about business and successful women, about the desire to live and act, despite the lack of initial conditions.

The woman long ago abandoned her dreams of inventing, which she was fond of as a child, but fate pushed her to return to her favorite hobby. While cleaning up the shards of a broken glass, Joy comes up with a self-wringing mop. The invention gives the housewife self-confidence and motivation to start her own business from scratch. Joy becomes successful and makes life easier for millions of women.

Breaking Bad
An exciting, fascinating, motivating and very instructive series about how a simple school teacher becomes a real drug lord.
The hero’s motivation for getting into this dubious business was quite sad - doctors discovered he had lung cancer. In order not to leave his pregnant wife and disabled son without a livelihood, Walter White teams up with his former student, now an inveterate drug addict, and creates an underground laboratory for the production of methamphetamine. The education of a chemist played into Walter’s hands, and soon the partners’ business went uphill.
It is noteworthy that Mr. White came into this business (dirty, vile, unprincipled, but still a business) without the slightest understanding of its rules and laws. Over the course of five seasons, he transforms from an ordinary klutz teacher into a cunning and resourceful professional who knows how to set goals for himself and think several steps ahead.
And yet, drugs and the desire for easy money never lead to good, no matter how high and correct goals the criminal hides behind.
Steve Jobs (2015)
The success and motivating career of the legendary Apple founder Steve Jobs haunts his contemporaries. A clear confirmation of this is the third feature biopic in a short time. This film is dedicated to the three most important presentations of Jobs' brainchildren - the Apple Macintosh in 1984, NeXT in 1988 and iMac in 1998.
Professional ups and downs are interspersed with emotional turmoil and events in Steve’s personal life. The business genius had far from rosy relationships with colleagues, family and friends. Often, Jobs simply sacrificed these relationships to production needs.

Risk limit
And again about the economic crisis, only now through the eyes of financiers and analysts of one large bank. A lot of money and reputation are at stake, specialists are processing tons of information and looking for solutions, although the situation seems hopeless.

biting my teeth
The heroes of these films are often fighting for no less than life itself. The body may suffer, but the will will be stronger.
"Saving Dawn"
Looking at the Allied planes over his native Wildeberg, the German boy Dieter Dengler wanted to fly. He grew up, moved to the United States and became an Air Force pilot. Dieter's flight was interrupted in Vietnam: shot down by the Viet Cong, he was captured. But he did not give up, but developed an escape plan and soon found himself in an unfamiliar jungle without water, food or weapons. There is a chase on the heels, hostile peasants are in front, and their own helicopters are on top, burning out the jungle with napalm. Dieter does not yet know that he will have to make another escape - from the CIA, who is confident that the pilot has seen too much.
Werner Herzog first made a documentary about Dengler's escape, and then, admiring the hero's willpower, he directed a live-action film with Christian Bale about the journey from darkness to light.
"127 hours"
The main character of this extreme thriller is mountain climber Aron, whose hand was crushed by a stone in the middle of the desert. Hanging in a crevice for 127 hours with a broken arm, without communication, food, hope of salvation - it’s scary to even think about. Boyle's film is a true story about a real person who is ready to sacrifice his body. It will not be possible to get out of the trap without blood and losses. If a person can survive in such circumstances, then humanity can do anything. And, of course, James Franco performs a separate small feat here. In one breath, he performs a one-man show: silent despair, feverish monologue and grim determination with which his character plunges the steel blade of a tourist knife into his own flesh.
"Soul Surfer"
The Hawaiian coastline, populated by cherubic surfers, is a postcard paradise on earth. But this idyll is destroyed by a terrible incident: the main character loses her arm after being attacked by a shark. Now she has to learn to accept herself, tolerate other people's views and pity, return to sports, again on the crest of the wave. Faced with personal misfortune, she suddenly sees the world as it is. Including in its terrible manifestations, going to Thailand with a Christian mission to help tsunami victims. This is how the heroine gains fortitude, which more than compensates for her somewhat limited physical capabilities and serves as an inspiring example for hundreds of people - from teenagers with disabilities to other injured athletes who write letters of gratitude to the one-armed surf girl.
Obsession (2013)
A musical psychological drama based on director Damien Chazelle's own biography. The film centers on a promising musician, young drummer Andrew. His abilities were noticed by the conductor and leader of the famous orchestra Fletcher. However, the guy’s talent and hard work were not enough for the new mentor; he demanded superhuman efforts and unrealistic success from the drummer. To meet Fletcher's expectations, Andrew had to forget about sleep and his personal life. Chosenness turned into a curse, and passion gave way to obsession.

Great success is inseparable from knowledge of the economy of the world and the state. By increasing financial literacy, we become a little closer to understanding the market and how we can become richer.
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Characters in motivational films about big business and success in life do not always have the best intentions and an impeccable moral image. So the hero of the tragicomedy based on the memoirs of New York broker Jordan Belfort is not the best role model. Having managed to make a fortune from the 1987 financial crisis, Jordan is already earning millions at the age of 26.
"Wolf" plunges headlong into the world of crazy money, entertainment, alcohol and drugs. At 36, a tough fraudster is arrested for money laundering.

Erin Brockovich
This film reminds us that success is not just about money, and every person can put something of their own into this word.

For some it is millions, but for others it is a victory of truth, justice and law.
