All Entrepreneurs Should Watch Movies


Introduction
Movies are a better way to learn from others as stories, fiction and nonfiction, because psychologically people things in image not in word. So it can be easy to understand all movies as a compare to stories. There is a lot of things to be learnt from these stories as they show you how exceptional people who have come before you have done it.

The Godfather
An offer you can’t refuse.
The Godfather movies are told about the any offer you can’t refuse, offer is a chance of success. It is one of the greatest films in the world based on the best book I have ever read. The Godfather is the story about the growth of a small family business as it becomes the largest organised crime family in New York, fighting off opposition at any expense. The Godfather and his son Michael Corleone are the brains behind the family and this film gives you an "insight into what it takes to become one of the most powerful family businesses in the country.

Glengarry Glen Ross
Lie. Cheat. Steal. All in A Day’s Work.
In the fast paced world of Chicago real estate, competition and incentive is what decides who the best is. That’s why they’re having a little sales competition – First prize is a Cadillac El Dorado, second prize is a set of steak knives, third prize is you’re fired. With stakes that high, and the pressure on, the salesmen show that they’re willing to do anything it takes to succeed in business, but the most interesting part of this is film, is what exactly that is.

Wall Street
Every dream has its price.
Wall Street movies are related stock exchange. The first movie is Wall Street money never sleeps and second is The Wolf of Wall Street; both movie stories are true story in stock exchange. In the life of an ambitious young stockbroker, Bud Fox will do just about anything it takes to succeed, and for him, that includes a little bit of insider trading. See what happens when the desire to succeed takes over your life and the motto of ‘Greed is good’ directs how you do business. But what happens when you’re pushed to your limits and asked to do something you can’t or won’t do? Suddenly everything comes to a head when Fox is asked to help do something, not only illegal, but morally reprehensible.

Catch Me If You Can
The true story of a real fake
Again, this is another true story, about a young conman who successfully impersonated an airline pilot, doctor, and lawyer and history professor during his stint as fraudulent cheque casher. What’s amazing about this film and the life of Frank Abegnale Jr. is how much he managed to achieve in a much tougher environment and under more stress than most people are used to. Whether it’s legal or not, business is business and Frank was one of the best at what he did.

The Corporation
This film takes a good, long look at what happens when you take a business and you model it to be legally a person – a corporation. What happens though when the sole purpose of this person is to make money for its shareholders though? It starts to act without a conscience which threatens the world, our future and the people working for it. This isn’t just a film about evil corporations though; it’s also about what we can do to stop them from taking over everything that we know. I saw this film in the cinema and its well worth seeing again, it’s completely eye opening.

Shaw shank Redemption
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
This is one of the greatest films of all time, and one I’m sure that the majority of readers have seen before, purely because of its undeniable greatness. It’s the story of a man who manages to succeed in the worst possible conditions imaginable – false imprisonment for the murder of his cheating wife and lover. From making friends with another con inside the prison, Andy manages to make the best out of a very bad situation and through perseverance manages to achieve more than he ever thought possible.

The Social Network
You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies
This is another story of the young, successful and intelligent man, only this time; it’s based on a true story of the world’s youngest billionaire – Mark Zuckerberg, the creator and owner of Facebook. The story is pretty amazing and has been made famous by this film, he starts off as a Harvard student with a strong streak of arrogance and huge potential, and he creates a new social network based upon the most prestigious email address in the country, the Harvard email address. The rest, as they say, is history.

The Game
There are no rules in The Game.
What do you get the guy who has everything? Nicholas Van Orton (played by Michael Douglas) is a wealthy San Francisco banker whose life is wrapped up in his business, which has left him as somewhat of a loner. His brother Conrad gives him the gift of a lifetime, which would prove to change his perspective on the world and the way that he’s going to live it. When bad things start to happen to you, you start to question what’s really important in live, business, success and money, or actually living.

Risky Business
There’s a time for playing it safe and a time for Risky Business.

A good story about what you have to do when you take your dad’s Porsche out for a trip and starts to realize that you’re going to need a lot of money, which you’re going to have to raise in a very creative way. With his parents away and responsibility out of the window, Joel starts to realize that it’s not all as easy as he was expecting, having to look after friends and source cash any way he can. An interesting look at what people can come up with when they’re put on the spot to come up with some fast cash.
