Contest: Which Movie Has Most Influenced Your Life?

in #contest6 years ago

Contest time! So far since I've joined steemit I haven't held a contest or written about movies. Today I am going to combine the two. I am going to hold a contest and let the rest of you write about movies.

From the time this is posted until friday july 20th 2018 @07:00:00 a.m. UTC I will be holding a contest. The prize is that I will sponsor the winner for @steembasicincome membership which gives the winner 1 share in the program. That's a 1.0 STEEM value.

Entry into the contest is simple. Just reply to this post and identify what movie has had the biggest influence on your life and why and/or how it has influenced your life. It can be any movie in any language from any genre or subgenre. The movie can be big studio or small independent.

Each reply entry for this contest should be honest and truthful. Everybody who enters is on the honor system. I will judge the winner based on their reply convincing me that the movie cited has truly influenced at least some aspect of their life. It can be something like how a movie has influenced how relationships with others are handled or how the movie was influential in a career choice.


The contest rules:

1. I know I am asking for trouble by allowing any movie to be cited. If the truthful reply being entered into the contest is a porno then please write the capital letters "NSFW" after the movie title and keep the reply clean and family friendly. Thank you.

2. Submit entries written in english. The movie cited can be in a foreign language but the contest is to describe how the movie being cited was influential in your life. If I have to use the internet to translate a reply then something is bound to get lost in translation.

3. Only good steemians should enter this contest. I reserve the right to go and review the past blog postings of anybody who enters this contest. If I see that someone is a spammer, scammer or plagiarist I reserve the right to inform that someone they are disqualified with a brief explanation and there will be no appeal of my decision to disqualify someone based on spam, scam or plagiarism.

4. Contest rule #3 still applies even if the movie cited in the reply entry was influential in deciding to becoming a scammer, spammer and/or plagiarist. You may be more clever than me but don't even try pulling that loophole.

5. Only a single movie can be cited. If a trilogy or entire franchise has been influential then narrow it down to one movie that has been the most influential on your life and just state something such as, "Out of all the (insert serial/franchise) the most influential on my life is..."

6. Only one entry per person and only one winner will be chosen. An additional sponsorship has been reserved for @transhuman since this contest idea I have was inspired by the Transhumanity playlist.

7. Any additional rules or editing of rules to clarify something can be made by me at any time during the contest as needed.


That should do it for now. The contest is now open for entries. Good luck!

The most influential film of my life is Baghwan Film, whose character is Amitabh Bachchan. This film had an effect in my life that we should serve our parents in a very good way and at the worst time we should serve them always because we are the once whose support to cut their lives because they have their own Life has devoted to us and we too should service in their old age time.

You are tentatively entered into this contest. Please note: I have reviewed your blog posts under rule #3 of this contest. The @cheetah bot has identified your most recent post as being similar to a wordpress.com posting. After reviewing both sources I have determined your recent steemit post is dissimilar enough not to disqualify you under rule #3 at this time. Any future posts you make between now and when this contest ends friday july 20th 2018 @07:00:00 a.m. UTC can also be reviewed under rule #3 of this contest.

Sir, I have posted this post after a lot of hard work and do not know why the cheetah has sent this message. Maybe the photo I got from Google caused the message of cheetah.
OK Sir, I'm putting my new post today which will be the second part of this post.

I do understand that @cheetah does make mistakes and I am giving you the benefit of the doubt. Your post is about a nonfiction subject and there is a set way stars are formed with a finite way of describing the process. I think maybe the @cheetah bot looks at the first paragraph or two and if the style somehow seems similar that's what can throw off the @cheetah bot.

I realize your article isn't word for word the same as the wordpress posting but for the sake of the integrity of this contest I have to bring up the @cheetah bot or someone else probably will.

Sir, I have posted a second part of this, please once you check.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, I did see your post yesterday and I didn't see any problems with it. I also upvoted your post yesterday through steemfollower.

You are still entered in the contest.

The greatest showman

The Greatest Showman is a 2017 American musical film directed by Michael Gracey in his directorial debut, written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon and starring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya.

The movie is centred around the life of P.T Barnum and his circus. His rise to fame and the struggles attached with maintainimg the fame. The pressure that comes from within and outside. The movie has a number of musical scenes which captivated me.

The movie had a couple of lessons which I found intriguing.

Firstly is how important it is to believe in ourselves dreams. No dream is too small,all that is needed is the zeal to achieve this dreams irrespective of the obstacles that come our way.
J.P Barnum was such a man, he was a boy who stood in front of a mirror seeing himself singing to the world. It took time, but he certainly achieved that Dre in the most remarkable way.

Furthermore, we always need a team to achieve our dreams. He (Barnum) along with his wife and daughters set out to assemble the team they needed to achieve their dream. Together, they built a museum that brought people from around the world to their feet.

I made a post about this movie some months back. Here is the link. https://steemit.com/movies/@korexe/the-greatest-showman-lessons-learnt

Life is Beautiful
This is a beautiful film, made in 1997, directed and starring Roberto Benigni, based on the real experience of Rubino Romeo Salmoni, winner of 3 OSCAR awards, this is a film that, despite being made within a context gloomy and gray like the Nazi Holocaust, it shows us that kind, good and even funny side that we must have in front of the problems that life presents to us. In this film we can see how the protagonist protects the innocence of his young son and never let him know the cruel and sad reality they lived.

Life is beautiful is a movie full of much reality and although it tells us a sad and ugly piece of history we can see how the ability of human beings to protect what we love most: our children. The attitude of this character inspired me to fight every day for the happiness of my daughter teaching her to fight her and defend her way of thinking, respecting the values ​​and way of thinking of each person as an individual, without believing herself superior or inferior to anyone , because the beauty of life is to live and let live, learning from each experience.

Interesting contest. The movie that influenced me the most is Soul Surfer. It's a biographical drama film based on a true story. I actually cried halfway during the movie because it was really touching and sad.

Imagine you're so young in life, but already suffered such a big drawback - losing one arm. To some, it might not be the worst event, but to most it is traumatising enough to become a handicap. There are so many things that you couldn't do even if you wish to. The feeling of disability will drown you every morning you wake up and every night before you sleep.

But seeing how faith can strengthen a person's soul in the movie kept me believing that no matter what life throws at me, I can still go on, I must be tougher than that. If someone who loses an arm can fight through their circumstances, why would anyone give in and give up.

There's one quote that I love very much from the movie and that is "I don't need easy. I just need possible." I feel inspiring every time I recall this quote when I'm met with some bad events at life. Through the movie, I strengthened my faith and I have more hope in believing at the end of the day, everything will work out. If it doesn't, it isn't the end. Tough times don't last; tough men do.

I hope it can also be an encouraging movie for anyone who reads this and feels that their circumstances are overwhelming. Don't worry, have faith!
