uplifting

My hunger faded, replaced with a mildly uplifting feeling.

The leaders of this authoritarian populist movement have no real interest in uplifting and empowering the broader public.

All of this joy and international attention points towards the Academy’s increased focus on uplifting global films and stories — even beyond the designated international category.

It begins with a dramatic flourish, but soon becomes something more fantastical, with shades, perhaps, of John Williams’ uplifting themes from “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”

“It’s something else to focus on that can be uplifting and entertaining, and we can see ourselves in it.”
