I took Bela to see Soul Surfer over the weekend. We had a long talk about Bethany Hamilton and what we would and would not see during the film. I cried about a gallon of tears during this movie.
I think this film ( and more importantly, the story behind it) teaches us and our children to never give up. Bethany Hamilton displayed such bravery and Faith during her ordeal. And even when her positive attitude threatened to waiver, she took that opportunity to give of herself, which promptly gave her a view, of the bigger picture.
I highly recommend that you see this film, with your kids!
