Amazing Quotes from The Amazing Spider Man 2
I just watched The Amazing Spider Man 2 yesterday. It was entertaining
142 minutes show from the movie. As I thought, Spider Man would not merely
about plenty of amazing action - spider web, kisses, stunning special effects,
and multitude of villains - but it also presented a good story with inspiration
and lessons.
Below are some of the quotes from the movie which I find inspiring:
1. “You’re
not a nobody. You’re somebody.”
It’s said by the Spider Man when to
an electrical engineer of Oscorp on the street right after he saved him. Sometimes
we never think we are nobody until someone recognizes ourselves as somebody. But
how other people will recognize us if we do not reckon ourselves as somebody
special?
2. “What
makes life valuable is it doesn’t last for forever. What makes it precious is
it ends.”
It’s one of the lines from Gwen’s
graduation speech. As many of us consider that we will live longer and die at
an old age, we always forget to live our life to the fullest; to make it
valuable as soon as we have a chance. Everyone wants to have a precious ending,
but many of us forget to prepare the precious one since the very beginning.
3.
“The
heavier the box the lighter I feel.”
It’s what Aunt May told to Peter when
she packed some stuffs of Uncle Ben. It’s a learning to let go. Past memory isn’t
meant to be forgotten, but isn’t supposed to haunt us as well at the present
time and withstand us from moving on. The more we can let go, the more we can
express gratitude.
4. “Don’t
just follow the path. Make your own trail.”
There are many paths in front of us as that people have taken. It may
bring success if we take the same way, but there’s always a risk that it might
not work well for us. If none of the paths work for us, why not to create our
own trail?
5. “Change
begins with hard work and persistence.”
I bet it’s the philosophy of Osborn stated
by Harry’s father in the movie. It’s commonsensical that there will never be
any change without action, hard work, and persistence. And, a big change also always
begins from a persistent small change.
6. “Maybe
everyone has a part of themselves they hide, even from the people they love.”
Some people do and some people do
not. But there’s always a time when we want keep something just for ourselves or
just because we do not want to hurt people. Or, as nobody can be trusted, so
better to trust our heart to keep it.
7. “Every day I wake up knowing that the more people I try to save, the more enemies I will make. And it's just a mtter of time before I face those with more power than I can overcome".”
8. "Not everyone has a happy ending"
It’s true that not everyone has a happy
ending. There’s no guarantee that our life will end as we expected. But those
who strive for a wonderful ending will likely get a bigger chance to have a
wonderful ending than those who just expect a miracle for a happy ending. So,
let’s define our happy ending and work for that.
DIVERGENT Quotes
As far as I remember, I had
never watched any movie twice in the cinema. But I just did it for Divergent!
It’s not merely because I like everything about the movie, but also because working
for hours for my presentation got me so bored today. Oh I am defintely not an Erudite, aren’t I?
So as shown in the movie
that in the future we’ll live in groups/factions. Each faction values one
virtue above everything else. The first faction, Dauntless, think bravery is
keen. The second faction, Erudite, loves knowledge. The third faction,
Abnegation, is pro-self-sacrifice. The fourth faction, Amity, values
friendship. The fifth faction, Candor, is into honesty.
I took a aptitude quiz
that I happened to find on Facebook about the faction I belong in the movie.
And see, I am DIVERGENT. My result depicts high scores for 3 factions:
Abnegation, Amity, and Erudite. That aslo explains that my character falls into
slefless, kind, and intelligent. To check yours, you may click here:
Like my previous post
about any movie previously, here I share some quotes from the movie that in my
conviction is really strong and into our daily life:
“We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the
courage that drives one person to stand up for another.”
“Sometimes crying or
laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now.”
“A brave man acknowledges the strength of others.”
“Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up”
“It must require bravery to be honest all the time”
“Sometimes, the best way to help someone is just to be near them”
“I don't want to be just one thing. I can't be. I want to be brave, and I want to be selfless, intelligent, and honest and kind”
“The future belongs to those who know where they belong”
“Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it”
“We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another”
“Everyone’s afraid of something”
“Your mind works in a million different ways”
“We’re like the factionless now. We’ve left everything behind, but we found ourselves and each other”

“Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up”
“It must require bravery to be honest all the time”

Quotes from The Lego Movie
I have never
been a buff of animated movie. I always reject to watch if any offer to watch
with friends. But not for this one, The Lego Movie. Since vast positive
feedback is heard everywhere about this movie, I succumbed to the temptation
and watched the movie.
Apart from
the funny characters in the movie, The Lego Movie presented so many inspiring
quotes that I was enjoying when I sat in the cinema. This 3D computer animated
story is more than an ordinary and rules-following Emmet – a master builder who
is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the one who will
save the world. The movie is filled with a
plethora of metaphors that can be applied to our life endeavor.
#1 The only thing anyone needs to be special is to
believe that they’re special (Vitruvius)
#2 All of you have the ability to be a
ground breaker (WyldStyle)
#3 We didn’t get a trophy for just
showing up
#4 You don’t have to be the bad
guy. You are the most talented, most interesting, most special guy
in the universe. You are the Special. And so am I.
#5 The prophecy’s made up. But
it’s also true. You can still change everything (Vitruvius)
#6 An idea so dumb and pointless that
no one would ever think it could possibly be useful (Vitruvius)
#7 Don’t worry about what the others
are doing. You must embrace what is special about you (Vitruvius)
#8 We’re about to crash
into the sun! Yeah, but it’ll look really cool (Emmett & Batman)
#9 If the man upstairs chose him
to be the special, there must be a reason
Based on my observation, Vitruvius is the most rousing
character in the movie, so prudent. He mentions many good quotes that are very
interesting and positive. However, above all, my lesson learned from the movie is believing
ourselves that we are special. Sometimes we will be drafted into a fellowship
of strangers on an epic quest to solve a problem unpreparedly. Yet as long as
we have faith that we are special, our team is special, and everything is
awesome as the song of The Lego Movie.
Quotes from 47-Ronin
I watched the
movie last month with some friends. Despite of many critics towards this movie,
I still find that this one is still worth to watch and deserves a positive
credit. With only 57% likeability from rottentomatoes.com and 6.7/10
from imdb.com, at glance some of the people might skip to watch it due to its fair
review. Yet apart from some technical side of the movie, based on the story it
is certainly inspiring. It depicts a real-loyal-life group of master-less samurai
in 18th-century Japan who avenged the murder of their master. The plot of the
story might be a bit predictable, but nobody can predict some inspiring saying
from the samurai in the movie.
Taken from my
note when I watched the movie and some internet resources, these are some
quotes that are inspirational from the samurai that we might take as a life learning
point.
1. "Samurai
doesn't take credit of someone else's achievement"
2. “Remember,
there’s sacrifice involved in any kind of life. Even the man who chooses the
safe way has to give up the thrill of combat. The point is that once you know
what you want, you must be prepared to sacrifice everything to get it.”
3. “Some people
live all their lives without knowing which path is right. They’re buffeted by
this wind or that and never really know where they’re going. That’s largely the
fate of the commoners—those who have no choice over their destiny. For those of
us born as samurai, life is something else. We know the path of duty and we
follow it without question.”
4. “Hardship in our present life is an atonement for sins committed in our previous existence, or the education necessary to prepare for a higher place in the life to come.”
6. “…Remember, there's sacrifice involved in any kind of life. Even the man who chooses the safe way has to give up the thrill of combat. The point is that once you know what you want, you must be prepared to sacrifice everything to get it. Those who realize this are the fortunate ones. Those who know and can try. What more can a man ask for than that?”
7. "A crime without justice leaves a world of unbalance.. .the heavens look down on us in shame"
