The man who planted trees

I still don't know exactly what it is about this film that makes it so great and uplifting. The story was so simple and yet it kept me gripped to the screen the entire half hour and made me feel inspired to go do something productive with my life. It is so rare to see a film where there was barely any conflict or evil, just pure determination and progress. Before i saw this movie i would balk at the idea of a movie with no conflict inspiring anybody to do anything, but now i see that this positive energy is just as powerful, if not more so, then the use of heavy darkness in a story. Although darkness can also be used in a powerful way to send a message; sometimes light is the better option to really drive home a certain point or message. I want to see more films that reflect this positive light and stop constantly watching movies in the dark.
