Cinema and Business: 3 films for every Entrepreneur

The world of cinema has always provided an endless source of inspiration and valuable lessons for entrepreneurs. With compelling stories and memorable characters, cinema is not just entertainment. Films, in fact, can offer valuable lessons on leadership, time management, resilience, and other crucial aspects for entrepreneurial success. In this article, we will explore a list of 3 films that every entrepreneur should watch and discuss the lessons that can be learned from each of them. 
The Classic - The Devil wears Prada (2006)

The Devil wears PradaDirected by David Frankel, "The Devil wears Prada" is a classic dramedy that offers profound lessons on leadership, interpersonal relationships, and stress management. The film follows the story of Andrea Sachs, a young fashion assistant who enters the fast-paced and relentless world of Runway fashion magazine, directed by the formidable and charismatic Miranda Priestly.
 
Entrepreneurial Lessons:
 
  • Develop Leadership Skills: in the film, we see how Andrea gradually develops her leadership skills. Despite being in a hostile and competitive environment, she learns to handle difficult situations and make critical decisions. This reminds us of the importance for entrepreneurs to constantly cultivate and develop their own leadership skills to effectively guide their team and tackle business challenges.

  • Manage Interpersonal Relationships: one of the most interesting aspects of the film is the complicated relationship between Andrea and Miranda. Despite the difficulties and differences of opinion, both women learn to respect each other and find a balance in their professional relationship. This highlights the importance for entrepreneurs to develop strong interpersonal skills and effectively manage interactions with colleagues, business partners, and clients.

  • Stress Management: the high-pressure and stressful work environment depicted in the film highlights the importance of being able to manage stress. Andrea faces numerous obstacles and challenges during her work experience but learns to stay calm and persevere despite the difficulties. This teaches us that, in the business world, it is essential to develop effective strategies to handle stress and maintain focus and productivity even in the most demanding situations.
 
The Competitive - Ford vs Ferrari (2019)

Directed by James Mangold, "Ford vs Ferrari" tells the true story of the rivalry between the Ford Motor Company and Ferrari in the world's most prestigious car race: the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966. The film follows visionary car designer Carroll Shelby and fearless British driver Ken Miles as they work together to create a revolutionary race car and challenge Ferrari's dominance on the tracks..

Entrepreneurial Lessons:
 
  • Innovation and Risk: the film highlights the importance of innovation and courage in the business world. Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles are willing to challenge the status quo and take enormous risks to achieve their dream of building a revolutionary race car. This reminds us that, to achieve success in the business world, one must be willing to challenge conventions and take calculated risks to pursue new opportunities and accomplish great things.
 
  • Competitive Spirit: the film celebrates the competitive spirit and the determination to overcome adversaries. Ford, an American company, decides to challenge the Italian giant Ferrari, demonstrating that with the right strategy and commitment, it is possible to compete with the best in the industry. This teaches us that, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity, it is possible to emerge victorious with the right mindset and determination.
 
  • Teamwork: "Ford vs Ferrari" highlights the importance of effective teamwork in achieving ambitious goals. Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles demonstrate how a cohesive team, led by an inspiring leader, can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and achieve extraordinary results. This underscores the importance for entrepreneurs to build a talented team and inspire its members to give their best in order to achieve business objectives. 

The Authentic - Eno (2024)

Directed by Gary Hustwit and created by creative technologist Brendan Dawes, "Eno" is the first randomized documentary that reflects the spirit of the music of Brian Eno, the renowned British musician considered the inventor of ambient music.

Eno<<I didn't really want to make an ordinary documentary because I always find them frustrating>>, says Brian Eno. <<Any documentary I've ever seen about someone I know has left out most of the interesting things about them>>. So director Gary Hustwit created the film with AI generative software that allows it to be different every time you watch it. The sections land in a different order, and some do not appear at all (replaced by others); the film is reshuffled each time with an element of randomness.
 
Entrepreneurial Lessons:
 
  • Constant Experimentation: Eno is known for his willingness to experiment and try new techniques and approaches in his work. This disposition towards experimentation can be an important lesson for entrepreneurs, encouraging them not to fear failure and to continuously seek new solutions and innovative ideas.
  • Nurturing Creativity: Eno is famous for his experimental approach to music and production, which often challenges conventions and embraces the unexpected. His open-mindedness and willingness to explore new ideas can inspire entrepreneurs to think unconventionally and adopt a bold approach in tackling challenges.

  • Embracing the Unexpected: This film of his has nothing certain, even the film itself changes every time you watch it. Eno demonstrates an appreciation for the role of randomness and the unexpected in the creative process. This lesson can encourage entrepreneurs to be open to unexpected opportunities and to seize the advantages of unforeseen situations.
