behind the unexpected

A short review, I want to say more than I can write.

There is a real video record of Bethany in the end credits.

Isn't there a saying: the most painful thing is not to have once, but to have and then lose.

In the face of physical disability, sniping by public opinion, and giving up opportunities, the most important thing for Bethany is the sentence she kept asking when her life was dying: Can I still surf?

Maybe bethany is right, she was born for surfing; but the film touches us even more: after this accident, bethany realizes that life is not just surfing, there are many other things.

She has loving parents and brothers who did their best to get her back to sea; her good friends who helped her and who supported her throughout her rehab. It was love.

The failure to return to the end of the game once made her despair, and it was an accidental trip to Thailand that saved her.

Bethany realized: She should focus on what she has, not the arm she just lost.

For those who died in the Thailand tsunami, they lost their most precious lives. Those who survived also lost their families. Each of these pains is much more intense than losing an arm.

But accidents can never knock people down, because there will be stronger forces escorting them.

Before the accident, Bethany was brilliant and innocent. After the accident, Bethany really realized his wealth and successfully returned to surfing through his own efforts.

Behind her countless bright smiles, under her extreme calmness and self-discipline, we see a turbulent beating heart of the ocean.

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.
