The Best Movie of 2018

Most of my blog posts are about startup and entrepreneurship, but this one is slightly different. Let me introduce my personal best movie of 2018 called ALPHA.

The reason why I liked this movie so much is that it’s a story about father & son, what it takes to be a leader (or losing one), and how a dog (a wolf, ALPHA) became a long lasting human’s companion animal. Somehow I felt it’s about entrepreneurship too.

Without further ado, just watch the trailer below.

A little disclaimer: I have a Miniature Schnauzer at home so this is a definitely another reason to like the movie.

I watched this movie almost by accident while I was on the flight to Germany. Then, I bought a Blu-ray version and had it shipped from United States since the movie is not available via both download and disc here in Japan.

I watched it again at home (with my own dog shitting right next to me), and it still struck at my heart. This is really good movie.

Before this one, Seven Samurai and 300 are the ones that I related with the spirits of entrepreneurship and leadership although they are not exactly made for that purpose. ALPHA is now my new addition to the list.
