Soul Surfer

This movie was released in April of 2011, starring, Anna Sophia Robb, Carrie Underwood, Helen Hunt, Dennis Quaid, Lorianne Nicholson, Jeremy Sumpter and more. The movie has earned 4 stars.

Soul Surfer is the story of Bethany Hamilton an amazing surfer, who lives in a happy and supportive family of 5. One day while she was out on the water with family and friends she was attacked by a shark and lost her arm. After being in the hospital and recovering from all the blood loss, she decides she still wants to surf and has to defeat the odds.

This movie is inspirational, it shows that everyone is capable of doing what they desire if, they have determination and patience. It sends a great message to people of all ages, also it gives handicapped kids someone/something to look forward to. There are also many inspiring quotes throughout the movie such as `"I don't know why terrible things happen to us sometimes, but I have to believe that something good is going to come out of this" which was said by Sarah Hill (Carrie Underwood) indicating that in some situations it is important to keep faith. "I don't need easy, I just need possible."- Bethany Hamilton indicating that if there is something you really want to do even if you have the slightest chance of accomplishing it to still go for it even if it won't be "easy".

There are two things well known in this movie the actors and the soundtrack. The actors have been in multiple other movies, Anna Sophia Robb, Helen Hunt and Denis Quaid are all very well known and experienced actors. The actors made me more emotionally connected to this movie.

The scenery is absolutely gorgeous in this movie since it was filmed in the state of Hawaii. After watching this movie I had the undeniable desire to go to Hawaii or anywhere tropical.

This movie in my opinion, is a 9 out of 10.

  1. This was a great choice Mikayla. I watched this movie maybe last year, and found it beyond inspirational. That young women loved to suf, and after the tragic event that accrued, she refused to let that hold her back from doing what she loved. Ive always had a love for movies and I very much enjoy reading your blog. keep it up girl!
