Inspiring Lines from Movies M101


May the words of the wise,
Guide our lives.


I. Rocky (1976)
Director: John G. Avildsen
Producers: Robert Chartoff and Irwin Winkler
Writer: Sylvester Stallone

Rocky is a 1976 American sports drama film. It tells the rags to riches American Dream story of Rocky Balboa, an uneducated but kind-hearted working class Italian-American boxer working as a debt collector for a loan shark in the slums of Philadelphia. Rocky starts out as a small-time club fighter, and later gets a shot at the world heavyweight championship

Rocky: Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers, saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that. 



II. The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
Director: Gabriele Muccino
Producers: Will Smith, Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, James Lassiter and Steve Tisch
Writer: Steven Conrad

The Pursuit of Happyness is a 2006 American biographical drama film based on entrepreneur Chris Gardner's nearly one-year struggle being homeless. The screenplay by Steven Conrad is based on the best-selling eponymous memoir written by Gardner with Quincy Troupe.

Christopher Gardner: Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something... Not even me. All right ?

Christopher: All right.

Christopher Gardner: You got a dream. You gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can't do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.
 
Personal Reflection
" If only we could remember,
  In times of trouble,
  Words of the wise,
  Enriched with the power,
  To lighten up,
  Our dark and cloudy nights "  ----#Poetic#WithHope

It was, it is and it will always be about You !!!


Song Details
You Know its About You is a song from the English-language Canadian-French film Ballerina which was released in 2016 and was co-directed by Éric Summer and Éric Warin.

Song Name: You Know its About You

Singers: Magical Thinker Featuring Stephen Wrabel
Lyricists: Stephen Wrabel & Christopher Braide
Album: Ballerina (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 
Producer: Christopher Braide

Song Lyrics
You know the right words, they're all in your head
So wake up in the morning and get out of bed
The dreams you've been dreaming were right, now's the time
You build up these monsters, they're just in your mind

If you feel it in your heart, then sing it loud
I know you know who you are, so sing it loud
It's all about you

You just gotta know (gotta know)
You can do it on your own
Guess it's why I wrote this song
You know it's about you
It's always about you
Never let a dream grow cold
Even when you're losing hope
Guess it's why I wrote this song
You know it's about you
It's always about you
So there you go

I know the feeling like you'll never win
Your heart's in the washer, your head's in the spin
You try and you try, but you can't catch a break
But sometimes believing is all that it takes

If you feel it in your heart, then sing it loud
I know you know who you are, so sing it loud
It's all about you

You just gotta know (gotta know)
You can do it on your own
Guess it's why I wrote this song
You know it's about you
It's always about you
Never let a dream grow cold
Even when you're losing hope
Guess it's why I wrote this song
You know it's about you
It's always about you
So there you go

If it's playing in your car, don't turn it down
I know you know who you are, so sing it loud
If you feel it in your heart, it's all about
It's all about you (x2)

You just gotta know (gotta know)
You can do it on your own
Guess it's why I wrote this song
You know it's about you
It's always about you
Never let a dream grow cold
Even when you're losing hope
Guess it's why I wrote this song
You know it's about you
It's always about you
So there you go

Personal Reflection
Some songs are magical. This one helped revive the poet in me.
"Follow your heart they say,
Clouds of doubt fill my day.
Only If I could hear it say,
I will lead your way."      ---- #Poetic#With Hope

Song Lyrics

There was a time
I used to look into my father's eyes.
In a happy home
I was a king, I had a golden throne.
Those days are gone,
Now the memory's on the wall.
I hear the songs
From the places where I was born.

Upon a hill across a blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak.
I still remember how it all changed.

My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!

There was a time
I met a girl of a different kind.
We ruled the world,
I thought I'd never lose her out of sight.
We were so young,
I think of her now and then.
I still hear the songs
Reminding me of a friend.

Upon a hill across a blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak.
I still remember how it all changed.

My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!

Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!

See heaven's got a plan for you
[Live version repetitions:]
See heaven's got a plan for you
See heaven's got a plan for you

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! [3x]
Yeah!

Is everything a coincidence ? or Is everything preplanned ? I am yet to figure out a plausible answer for the above questions. All I know is that everything happens for a reason.

Almost heaven,

Blue ridge mountain,
Shenandoah river
Life is old there,
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains,
Growing like a breeze

Country roads, Take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia,
Mountain mamma,
Take me home, Country roads

All my memories,
Gather round her
Miner's lady,
Stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty,
Painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine,
Teardrop in my eye

Country roads, Take me home ... Country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away...
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday... yesterday...

Country roads, Take me home ... Country roads

Country roads, Take me home ... Country roads

Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads

Personal Reflection
It reminds me of my sweet little home, family and friends...
