Forever Strong

Mom requested I make a post about Forever Strong...So here I go haha.

For a movie that came from a fairly unknown director in the large Hollywood world the movie was very well done. It had moments when you could tell it was a semi low budget movie but nothing to distract from the story.

The movie had a good mix of large names and fairly unknowns. Sean Astin's character, a turned around delinquent who became a delinquent advisor, did a wonderful job helping the main character turning around. Even if I did have to fight the urge to yell "Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!" every time he was on screen.

The movie shows that leadership is more than being able to tell people what to do. It shows that to be a leader in a sport you need to be a leader in your community. The coach made the players on the Highland Ruby team go to the children's hospital and volunteer. They also plant trees and do landscaping around.

The coach makes it a point to know each of his players on a personal level to help encourage them to be better people and better players.

This movie is inspirational and makes you want to go out and do good for others. A very well made movie that plays off emotion and and showing no one is ever to far to turn around.
