This is undoubtedly an inspirational movie, but it has more to watch than ordinary inspirational movies. The inspirational taste is not entirely expressed through the protagonist's painful heart and despair, but is more inclined to the protagonist's sunny and optimistic attitude. In addition, the surfing plot in the movie is too beautiful, which can satisfy the visual experience of a large number of audiences and their inner desire for freedom and adventure. The expression of the plot is full...

At this time, the external environment is not very good for reading inspirational revelation. While cooking, I come back to look at it a few times, and I don’t even look at what I can’t see in my heart.
In addition to work, the external environment has been discussing the Wenzhou high-speed train incident. Many people believe in Weibo, but do not believe in news and official speeches, so they have been angry with the youth. I don’t know what this is, but I feel that the car has become like...

The way of shooting inspirational films is generally like this:
1. The happy time when you normally have arms.
Second, the depression after the broken arm.
3. Re-emergence after being encouraged.
The most typical and easy-to-understand three-part structure, isn't it?
As for me, I have three questions:
The real thing must be true, but is the actress selected
also one-armed and a good surfer?
Or one-armed, surfing is all post-synthesis?
Or is it...

One thing if you expect too much, there will always be a little disappointment.
I was looking forward to this movie entirely because of the heroine Annasophia Robb. In the Bridge of Wonderland, this little girl fascinated me, just because the character she played in the movie died, she snotted and cried. In soul surfer, anna is fat, her hair is longer, and she is not as cute as in the bridge of wonderland. But when you smile, it's still the same leslie look, and it can still make you cry....

This is not an inspirational story of one person
To be honest, the movie itself is nothing special. Youth, inspiration, main theme, an old-fashioned story of suffering from bad luck and getting back up again.
What really makes people think is actually behind this "true" story, what kind of force made this girl who lost an arm stand back on the skateboard?
This is not an inspirational story of a person, this is an inspirational story of a community, a city, a country, the confidence and mutual assistance, values and beliefs...

Key words of Hollywood inspirational movies: strong will, mental health and improvement; family caring, to overcome difficulties together; picturesque scenery, broad-minded; the best pop, MV superimposed; real people, inspiration is more effective. So the legendary girl "Soul Surfer" returned all her tears to God, and the audience was moved. To be honest, the heroine's firm belief, healthy and optimistic values are worth learning and paying...

I don't know if it's because I've watched too many inspirational films, so I can't feel it... But, I have to admit, the shots are beautiful, whether it's a seascape or a surf,...

In fact, I only found out about this film because of Jeremy, but unfortunately his scenes are poor, and he is a standard soy sauce character. As for movies, I don't like them very much. To be precise, I rarely resonate with inspirational movies, and this movie is no exception. Maybe I don't know anything about surfing at...
[first lines, narrating]
Bethany Hamilton: I was born in Hawaii to two die-hard surfers. How could I not have salt water in my veins. They say home is where the heart is, and for most people that consists of four walls and a welcome mat. But for me, it's the ocean, with the warmth of the sun on my skin. Two brothers, that's my answer when anyone asks why I'm so competitive. And of course, there's my best friend Alana. We spent more time wet than we did dry, my mom was convinced that we were mermaids. From the moment I caught my first wave, I knew I wanted to be a Pro Surfer. Nothing else seemed to matter. Surfing is my passion, my way of life. The stoke I get from riding a perfect wave is pure joy. But like my dad always says, life is an adventure. And sometimes you wipe out and end up in the impact zone.
[last lines, narrating]
Bethany Hamilton: I was born to surf. This is why I wake up at the crack of dawn everyday. This is why I endure belly rashes, reef cuts and muscles so tired they feel like needles. And I've learned life is a lot like surfing. When you get caught in the impact zone, you need to get right back up. Because you never know what's over the next wave. And if you have faith, anything is possible, anything at all.
Transworld Surf Reporter #1: Bethany, I'm from Transworld Surf Magazine. Are you upset you didn't win today?
Bethany Hamilton: I didn't come to win, I came to surf.
Fuel T.V. reporter #2: Bethany, I just wanted to ask you. If you could go back to that day, and not have gone surfing, would you do it?
Bethany Hamilton: I wouldn't change what happened to me, because then I wouldn't have this chance. In front of all of you... this chance to, embrace more people than I ever could have with two arms.
