My Take on the Movie
I had not heard of this story in the past, but this movie was an amazing one and was both heart wrenching and inspirational. If you are looking for a movie that is one that will motivate you to see the power of faith as well as the power of family bonds, this movie will open your eyes. At the same time, this movie will take you along with the family from the depths of despair and back.
I loved the passion that you see in the older brother and the choice that he makes to live for two and make the most of his life for both himself and his brother and what he is able to do for himself and for his team is simply remarkable. You completely are drawn in by this film and it is hard to believe that this was a true story but it was. I watched the making of the film which was provided as a special feature and it was interesting to see the real people and hear form their their thoughts of the movie as well.
All-in-all this was a great movie that I would highly recommend to all!
