Love life as you love the sea, beauty, hope

I have always wanted to learn to surf, so I watched this film with great interest. But it's not just about surfing or a disabled girl.
I think the true spirit of the film is not to try to accomplish impossible feats, not to be strong and courageous and unyielding, but to abandon all worldly prejudices and winning and losing to find true love and reasons for life. This kind of affection is very simple, the goal has nothing to do with greatness or immortality, whether it is healthy or disabled, it is all the same. To find it, one can transcend the flesh or suffering and have the true soul of life.

    What a strong soul it takes!

    When I was so bored that I could barely watch it, I gritted my teeth and persevered, so I was accidentally inspired at the live-action video at the end of the film.

Soul Surfer quotes

  • [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.
