      Do what you love to do, that's the meaning of life.

      Jay Moriretti is an ordinary middle school student who likes to surf.

      It's one thing to like it, it's another thing to overcome all obstacles to do it and be the best you can be. In the film, Jay Moriretti's love for surfing has reached a crazy level. Regardless of the danger, he secretly went to Half Moon Bay to observe the sea, bluntly asked Frosty Hayson for advice, received hard training, and went without fear of sacrifice. challenges, etc. Perhaps, this is the...

      for love

      A trip a few years ago brought me into surfing.

      When I stood up countless times and fell hard on the water, when I stood up on the board for the first time and waved my hands excitedly. I understand that this chance encounter may be a lifelong love.

      After the trip, the love still hasn't diminished, but it can only be spent by searching for information on the Internet and watching videos.

      I was lucky enough to come across this movie - "Surfing Hero"

      Facing the Impossible Courage and Moving

      Jay is famous not for conquering the waves but for his courage to challenge the impossible. The
      waves are always far away from us. In fact, I never knew what was so scary about waves.
      But with my little brain capacity and Imagination imagines the life swallowed by the huge waves and the destroyed buildings.
      You can't help but make a shock. The
      huge wave is terrible, but the fearless dare to conquer it. I believe this is also a place that is touched by moviegoers like me....

      like chasing dreams

      Surf Hero is as good looking as Deadly Express. The latter is an adaptation of a true story. After 12 weeks of study with frosty, I was afraid of the front, so I went to surf that wave. If I don't like it, I won't go, so why? When I was 8 years old, I liked to go to the beach to measure the tide. In this natural gene, there is an impulse and an infinite love for the sea. Yes, this is love, and love includes worship, love, maternal love, respect, and very touching. Now, I guess the real man is...

      who stole our madness and passion

      Surfing is indeed an exciting sport. The most memorable thing about this movie should be the four elements of surfing that Frosty said: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Fundamentally, a healthy body, a mature mind, not being a slave to emotions, and having an independent spirit. An excellent person should have strong self-management ability, not be bound by the trivialities of life. To become an extraordinary person, in addition to perseverance, he must have extraordinary courage and...

    Evaluation action

    "Chasing Mavericks" did not perform well at the box office after its release, and the media gave the film a general review (NetEase Entertainment Review) . The film is still smarter than similar story movies ("Chicago Sun" review) , new actor Jonny Weston in the film is less in the role, but more eye-catching than Gerard Butler ("The AVClub" review)  .
    "Chasing Mavericks" is a biographical film, the story is bloody inspirational, but...
