Hollywood Movies to Help You Find the Long Lost Love for Math

 

People find inspiration in different things. For some of us, our best ideas and thoughts come to us in the shower; for others, they manifest in dreams. Movies are also one of the most commonly known tools for inspiring and provoking people to do better.

This holds true for creating, learning and improving, regardless of a specific aspect of life. You can watch a movie and be inspired to start an entrepreneurial venture or you can watch a movie and be motivated to do better in school.

So, if you’re struggling with math at school and looking for Hollywood movies that can rekindle your lost love for the subject, we’re here to help!

Here are three great Hollywood movies about math, inspired by true events.

Good Will Hunting

There’s a high chance that you’ve already seen this movie. Not only is this one of the best films out there, it’s a classic that resonates with today’s fast-paced world and will stay relevant for many more years to come.

Apart from math, the movie teaches some hard lessons about loss, death and change.

The Imitation Game

The movie is likely to make you emotional in a few scenes so keep the tissues handy, especially if you’re watching it alone.

The Imitation Game is a heartfelt war film about Alan Turing, who maybe not single-handedly, but still helped America win World War II.

The movie is full of brilliant and vibrant characters including linguists, intelligence officers, chess champions, scholars and cryptanalysts.

It’s a nail-biter and stars Benedict Cumberbatch along with Keira Knightley.

Stand and Deliver

You don’t need to know advanced math to watch this movie and be absolutely moved by it. It’s a perfect light watch for high school students and dons an amazing storyline, performances and characters.

The movie was released in 1988 and focused on aspiration and achievement despite the hardships of life. We don’t want to give away the whole plot, so you have to watch it and understand the true impact it leaves on the audience!
