No movies did that for me yet I'm afraid... a song did though.
I didn't have any movies that inspired me. Mine were inspired by classical poets, Keats, Plath, etc. Also, a couple of friends thought I wrote alright and encouraged me to keep up with it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
