Soul Surfer

Todaaaaaay's review is going to be on the movie Soul Surfer. Where I live, it just came out in theaters on Friday April 8th. I saw it yesterday with one of my best friends. The way that we decided to go see it is funny! I said, "Did you hear of the movie Soul Sufer?"
"Yah! I really want to see it!"
"Me too! We should see it together sometime."
We're both quiet for at least ten seconds...then my friends yells upstairs,
"MOOOOM! Can me and Destiny go see Soul Surfer? Just look in the paper for the time, and we'll go when its best for you!"
So we ended up going!(:

I can definitely say that this movie is the most inpirational movie I have ever seen! It is based on a true story about a girl named Bethany Hamilton who loves surfing and then she gets attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark when she is thirteen and loses her left arm. (In real life, the attack happened on Halloween day, 2003.)

The movie is basically about how despite the fact that everything seems soo terrible, she trusts in God to provide for her. In real life and in the movie, her and her whole family are Christians.

Carrie Underwood is also in the movie, playing the role of the Youth Pastor.

I don't want to ruin the movie but I will tell you that the shark attack part is kind of gory, but not too bad since the movie is rated PG. I'm sure that if it was any worse it would be rated PG-13. It doesn't really show the attack but it shows the shark jumping up and snapping and that part made me jump. Literally I was sitting there because I had read about how the real shark attack had happened to Bethany so I knew exactly when it was going to happen...but I jumped and my heart was pounding! I hate when you are excpecting something, but it still scares you! -.- AAAAAAAAANYway, I was saying that they showed the shark jumping up and snapping yadda yadda yadda...and then everyone was screaming and they showed a lot of blood in the water, so if you are squeamish of blood then close your eyes...because I think this movie is amazing so you shouldn't not go and see it because you don't like blood. I do not like blood but I didn't even close my eyes..I thought I would but I wasn't actually too scared and I didn't want to miss a moment of the movie. So the point of this paragraph is that the shark scene isn't as scary as some people may think it is.

In conclusion, I think that everyone should see this movie because it is just sooo inspirational and it made me think about the things that I take for granted and I have all of my limbs. Bethany (in the movie and in real life) overcame so much and she only has her right arm! I heard on YouTube that its a good thing that she's right-handed!

Also, I didn't know too much about Bethany Hamilton but then I heard about the movie and watched the trailer and a whole bunch of other stuff about Bethany, and then I saw the movie and I want to meet her sooo much because she is just such a huuuuuuuuuge inspiration and a wonderful girl! I actually have a video about her that I'm going to watch on YouTube loading in another tab! (;
