Whereas an inspiration can spark a lot imagination in the minds of people who finally feel they are a part of something that is very larger than themselves.
Reminds me of the V for vendetta quote: "Beneath this mask there is more than flesh, Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof."
I never watched this movie, but it's now at the top of my list, i love movies that inspire me to do better, it's usually biographies, for example "The Theory of Everything" and "Genius"
Nice observation.
