Answer:
I have recently watched the movie ‘Dangal’ of famous actor Mr. Aamir Khan. The film was based on a true story of Miss.Geetha Phoghat who was a world champion in women wrestling.
The movie displays the hardships that she and her father have gone through in achieving that success. They lived in a society where girls were treated like as if they are born to take care of household chores and give birth to babies. But her father was not interested in handing over a broom and a spoon to them. He instead wanted to make her and her sister, good wrestlers. Initially, they had to face many discouragements from the people around, but they decide to fight back hard. Finally, they were able to prove the whole world wrong, by making them witnesses to the great international wrestling match in which Geetha wins gold.
This movie conveys the message that women should be treated well and they are also equally capable as men.

Answer:
It’s set in the 1930s, when America was hit by the Great Depression, and filled with prejudice. It’s told in the voice of Scout. Being in the voice of a young girl made a story about such brutal prejudice and discrimination different: it was youthful, it was playful, it was innocent. Scout has an older brother, Jem, and they live with their father, Atticus: Atticus is a lawyer, Atticus was just genuinely a good person. He wasn’t a hero, he wasn’t this macho and masculine protagonist that some books seem to need. He was moral, he was good, he was inspirational, just because he was such a good person. His wisdom gave a sense of continuity and seeing how his words impacted his children. Watching To Kill A Mockingbird is a necessity: it will change your life, it will change the way you view the world around you, it will inspire you, it will make you rethink how you treat people, how you view the world. It sounds like an exaggeration but the sheer unique quality of the movie is like nothing you've ever experienced. It tackles right and wrong in a way that isn’t patronizing or dull, but in a way that is flawlessly portrayed.
