Imagine that you are a person who regards surfing as life, but unfortunately you were swallowed by a shark during a surfing. How can you continue the road of life?
The movie is adapted from real life: Bethany is a natural surfing genius. She grew up on the coast of Hawaii and lived a rural life with the sea as her home since she was a child. At a very young age, Bethany, under the guidance of her father, showed her extraordinary talent in surfing. She intends to make some achievements in professional surfing.
However, when he was 13 years old, disaster struck. In a surfing before participating in the competition, Bethany was attacked by a shark and lost her entire left arm. Her life and future collapsed instantly, and her beautiful surfing career was completely ruined.
If Bethany's life falls, we will not have the opportunity to witness how an indestructible soul struggles with fate!
This lovely girl, only 13 years old, has a willpower that is different from ordinary people. When she was bitten off her arm by a shark, Bethany did not say a word to rescue her, did not scream, cry, struggle, or even groan;
After being rescued miraculously and awake, seeing the grieving family member waiting in the ward, the little girl comforted each other—I was fine;
But when the arm wound healed gradually after the operation, the stitches were removed and the scars in the mirror were incomplete. After all, the girl's beauty-loving nature could not be hidden, and Bethany couldn't help crying....
At this point in the plot, if you have a hard heart, it is hard not to be moved by her grief and feel pity for her!
Before watching the movie, I have always had a question in my heart: What power can make a 13-year-old girl stand up and come out quickly from such a catastrophic blow?
The development of the film quickly gave me the answer. Bethany's family members are all devout Christians: a humorous and easy-going father, a gentle and considerate mother, and two older brothers who take good care of their little sisters. The extremely warm family atmosphere and pious beliefs constitute the huge spiritual support of the little girl, allowing her to quickly find herself after a short period of loss.
When Bethany decided to return to the surfing arena, her family only experienced a brief hesitation, and they fully supported her choice and put it into action.
The educational philosophy and typical values of Western families are fully reflected in the film. Any decision made by Bethany's family is discussed with the whole family. Parents never suppress their children's ideas, and will help children analyze and solve problems like friends, and strive to create a warm growth environment for their children.
A scene in the film impressed me deeply: Bethany was discharged from the hospital and went home. The whole family sat around the dining table and prayed before the meal as usual. Everyone had to close their eyes and hold the hands of the people on both sides, but the eldest brother did not hold again this time. Not reaching the left hand of the sister beside her, in a moment of astonishment, her sister smiled and put her brother's hand on her left shoulder.
In the eyes that everyone thought was incredible, with the help of his family, Bethany restarted preparations for the surfing competition and devoted himself to active recovery training...
The film shows that when Bethany participates in the final "wave" of the surfing championship, the high-speed camera takes the view from behind the water wall of "Guanlang". Through the crystal clear water, Bethany's slender figure traversed the wave wall lightly, as if there was a shining elf dancing in the ocean, and as if a phoenix reborn from Nirvana in the fire spreads its wings and wants to fly.
At this moment, her tenacious vitality and persevering soul are burning hard on the cusp of life, bursting out dazzling waves, and the extreme beauty of the scene is dreamlike and intoxicating.
Bethany behind Bethany, the family's encouragement and care are like the Hawaiian waves that have accompanied her since childhood. The ubiquitous waves are soft and white. They are born, never far away, and the meticulous care that gives her warmth, gives her strength, and makes her strong... ....
