Tuesdays with Morrie is a heartwarming drama film based on the memoir of the same name by Mitch Albom. The story revolves around Mitch Albom, a successful journalist, who has it all - fame, wealth, and a promising career. Mitch's life, however, is not without its imperfections. Despite his fame and success, he feels unfulfilled and disconnected from the world around him. The turning point in Mitch's life comes when his former college professor, Morrie Schwartz, is diagnosed with ALS, a terminal illness that slowly paralyzes the body. Despite his deteriorating health, Morrie's spirit remains unbroken, and he continues to impart valuable life lessons to those around him. Mitch, who had been Morrie's favorite student in college, is deeply moved by his friend's condition and decides to reconnect with him. They begin to have regular sessions, which Mitch attends every Tuesday. As Mitch spends more time with Morrie, he becomes increasingly aware of his friend's wisdom and the lessons he has to offer. Morrie's words of wisdom are not limited to just philosophical musings. He delves deep into the issues that plague modern society, such as materialism, consumerism, and the importance of human connections. He also shares his own experiences, both joyful and painful, to illustrate the point he is trying to make. One of the central themes of the movie is the concept of success. Mitch, who had always been driven by his career ambitions, begins to question the true meaning of success. Morrie tells him that success is not just about achieving fame, wealth, or power, but about living a life that is authentic and meaningful. He encourages Mitch to pursue his passions and find his own purpose in life. Morrie also speaks about the importance of relationships and human connections.

He also begins to understand the value of living in the present and letting go of the past. The movie takes a poignant turn when Morrie's condition worsens, and he is no longer able to move or speak. Mitch is deeply moved by his friend's courage and resilience in the face of adversity. Despite his physical limitations, Morrie continues to share his wisdom with Mitch, and the lessons he imparts are more profound and meaningful than ever before.
