The film courage, starting from the role of father, takes the four protagonists' different families, how to show courage to undertake, tolerate, persevere, and change when faced with different choices in life. The film does not choose such a grand theme or a thrilling story, but interspersed with situations or encounters that may occur in any ordinary person's life every day. How ADAM, who lost his beloved daughter, took on supporting his family and repaired the father-son relationship with his estranged son; how DAVID, who avoided responsibility because of his youth and frivolity, faced his girlfriend and four-year-old daughter who he abandoned; NATHAN, who was abandoned by his father How to reconcile with the past and lead efforts to protect his family; how JAVIER, who is under financial pressure, makes the right choice when facing the test of his boss for a promotion.
It is through these things that in today's secular standards, it seems that one can make a choice without thinking any more, and once again let people rediscover the role, definition and qualities of a father. The reason why the film is named Courage is to constantly challenge people how much courage it takes to take that step when faced with a conflict between reality and belief.
The role of the father is highly valued by God because it is also a symbol of God's relationship with ourselves. While the father is given more authority in the family, he must also take on more responsibilities. He should be the leader and protector of a family, just as the Father does to his children. The film also touches people's hearts through many details. After losing his daughter, Adam came to the big tree again, embraced his imaginary daughter, danced for the first time in his life, and finished the dance that he had not promised his daughter to dance with her; The daughter puts on her chastity ring and lets her know how important it is to keep herself holy, and asks her to allow her father to watch over her until the one that God promises he will hand her over without hesitation; Javier, This loser in the eyes of most people, when he stood in a suit and stood in front of the mirror for the first time at a loss, his wife said to him affectionately: "You have a God who loves you, a friend who cherishes you, and a wife who worships you. , you are a rich man." The reason why these details are touching is because in this noisy and flashy world where various values intersect, many of the most basic innocence and love are gradually being forgotten and ignored. They are considered unfit and difficult to survive and stand on in this world.
After clearly realizing what it means to be a father and not just formally become that person, the four protagonists in the film, under the initiative of ADAM, make that solemn and divine commitment to God. Here, the word RESOLUTION is no longer just a short-term goal, nor is it a New Year's resolution, which is quickly forgotten as enthusiasm wanes. It's a lifelong commitment to keep building the courage to overcome challenges. This is a commitment every man should make before he is ready to be a father.
