"SC-S31/W3-Movie Magic |Movies about Inner strength (Soul Surfer)

Sometimes this life can give us unexpected moments that might last with us forever. It can hit you like heavy slap, leaving you weak, confused, and broken. The question is: when life knock you down like this , will you stay on the ground or will you rise again? This week is all about movie which will ginger our spirit. The movie which I choose is a film that will make you to know that courage and resilience is not a big grammar, it's something that is inside a person which push him forward even when everything scattered. Let's go......

However the movie which I choose to donate my time to watch is Soul Surfer. This interesting movie was release back then on April 8, 2011, directed by Sean McNamara and produced by David Brookwell, and other two producers. And the main actress which the movie focus on is AnnaSophia Robb which play the role of Bethany Hamilton and some other characters are Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, and Carrie Underwood acting quiet well. The film is based on Bethany Hamilton’s true-life story and her 2004 autobiography.

Bethany is a young Hawaiian girl which love surfing than anything. Surfing is her joy, and her dream, it's like the air she breathe. But one day, as she was surfing with her friend, shark attack her and bite off her left arm. Just imagine that the same thing which always give you happiness is the same thing that nearly kill you.

Bethany nearly give up at that point of life. She ask herself, “How will I surf again with one hand?” Truth be told,the pain was really heavy as human, the shame was real, and the fear was really strong. But with her family, her friends, and her faith in God, she didn't allow tragedy finish her destiny. She go back to water and start again, learn new way to balance, and prove that resilience is inside her blood.

The inner struggle which stand out was Bethany’s own. She fight inside her heart — fear of water, pain of losing arm, and the thought that her dream have scatter. That battle was a real war. Many people in her shoes would have just give up, but she choose to fight. She didn't just fight shark attack, she fight doubt, she fight hopelessness, she fight with the voice which tells her “you can't do it again.” That is the kind inner struggle which shows real courage.

However, her struggle is a reminder to us that sometimes the biggest fight is not just outside only, it's also inside our mind. If you can win that inner battle, you can win anything.

The strongest moment was when Bethany carry surfboard again, paddle and enter ocean with one arm. That was a pure courage. I was really afraid if she'll be able to cope with it using one arm. However she didn't allow fear to hold her down. She show that strength is not only by muscle, its involved the mind and spirit too.

Another moment was when she entered competition again. People was looking her like she can't do it, some doubt her ability, but she prove them all wrong. She didn't just surf, she surf with joy and confidence. That was strength — to stand tall when everybody doubt you, to push yourself when even your body tells you to “rest.”

Strength can show when a person don't allow situation to define him. Truly Bethany really show us that real strength is when you turn your inner weakness to weapon, when you use your pain as fuel to keep moving forward.

By the end of the movie, Bethany wasn't a victim again. She transform from a small girl which tragedy nearly finish her to a strong woman which inspire millions. She didn't just return to surfing, she use her story to encourage others which face their own different problems not to give up.

Her change was clear: from fear to faith, from pain to purpose, from hopelessness to inspiration. She shows that resilience can turn pain to power. She prove that life might break you, but if you hold courage and resilience tight, you will rise again.

Therefore she sacrifice, she endure, and she grow. By the end, she didn't just chase her own dream, she give hope to people which think that their own life have end. Thats a true transformation.

So in all, this movie called soul surfer is not just an entertainment, it's a life lesson. Soul Surfer remind us that nothing good comes easily. If you want growth, you must pass through sacrifice. I can conclude that courage and resilience are the available two wings which can just carry you to fly. Bethany’s story is a reminder that no matter what life throws at you, if you hold courage and resilience, you will surely rise again.
