Chapter 518: Faith Never Breaks

The atmosphere at the Brown Bear Theater was lively, with audiences crying and laughing at the images on the screen, while the hotel suites in Springfield were quiet.

Although Jennifer and Alicia are very confident, they have a feeling that they will no longer dare to underestimate Emma Roberts, and this is too good! How can they be said to "let me down"? She has played "Bethany" in the movie! So real.

Gia was petrified too, her eyes widened, what the hell was going on? not a sour nose, not Emma's performance......

It's Ye Wei's directorial performance!

She had heard him gossip before, "I'm not sure", was he doing it for now? He praised him in surprise? Like he asked to slap him, and he ended up being tricked? That bastard! Not sure if he was satisfied?

"What a bastard. Gia looked at the two of them with nowhere to go, they thought it was Emma's outburst?

Let's just say that this long shot of more than a minute can have two minutes of movement, from Bethany running out of church to running home to the front lawn, in the steady, ingenious, natural camera follow-up, she runs through the beach, the woods, the streets of the town, she greets the residents along the way, she smiles and shouts to Alanna, she is like a happy bird.

This shot completely expresses Bethany's change of mentality, the rekindling of faith, and the awakening of greater strength, and completely expresses her strength and cheerfulness, and the audience's sullen breath that has been suppressed in their hearts for a long time! This painful feeling is because she is running all the way from hell to heaven, from darkness all the way to light, running to beauty and freedom.

With everything before, whoever runs all the way in this long shot will burst into laughter. It's not that Emma is bad, it's that her performance is really added.

What a powerful scheduling power this is! Anyone can shoot ordinary shots, and long shots are the innovation of the best directors. This long shot of running sports is comparable to ...... those of "Forrest Gump", those of "Lola Run", and the style of the long shot of the ending of "Four Hundred Blows".

Since then, there has been another classic long shot in the history of film, and the sad thing is that when it was filmed, she was not there!

But before she left, there was no such long shot in the storyboard! Could it be that he was stimulated by her to create it?

This long shot has just ended, and the shark T-shirt is ...... Another montage! Gia slapped her thigh, with these things as confidence, no wonder Ye Wei doesn't care how Emma acts, even if she goes to play, she can make a stunning appearance, look at the actor of "Ashley" Theresa Menor, no one knows this girl who is also acting in a movie for the first time, she knows.

Theresa is a "deceived girl", one of the three people who passed the resume interview at the talent show, and she can't compare to Mody's talent and favor, but now she also plays well.

There is no doubt that Ye Wei is showing his talent with all his edge! Those plain are all illusions that will break out later, this movie is really completely controlled by him, maybe because of the unity of the production and director, it seems that VIY can do whatever he wants.

Compared with his realism in filming "Winter Bones", as a film director in the near future, the more Ji Ya watches SS, the more refreshing she feels. "Soul Surfer" once again tells the world that "movies are directed by the director!", and any ordinary audience member will agree that "this director is too strong!".

Various montages, long shots, flashbacks, split screens, prop usage, set installations, symbols/metaphors/echoes from scene lines to scene scheduling, divine soundtracks......

It's like shooting a squirrel with a machine gun!

But she doesn't feel any special formalism or stream of consciousness, she handles it without leaving a trace, everyone can understand it, and everyone can have their own feelings. Whatever, being able to use long shots and montages at the same time is so good that Bazin has to give it a thumbs up.

"I did something bad!" Seeing the PS "Create Adam" T-shirt, Gia couldn't help but yell, if he had to be romantic to make this kind of movie, "Lily did something bad! I'd rather he you all!" Jennifer and Alicia were stunned, what......

Gia doesn't care about them, staring at the screen, you can't miss the last 12 minutes, come on for more surprises!

For the next story, the audience's excited hearts are most excited about whether Bethany will win the championship again?

The Guggenheim was a little curious, from non-self to self-to non-self, from faith to non-belief to faith, how to deal with it so as not to fall into clichΓ©s?

There are only two results, according to reality, the second year won the championship and succeeded, and the first year won the fifth place, failed. "Maggie", "Oliver", Ye Wei likes to shoot losers, if he fails, he will only have one way to be glorious despite defeat, so how will he shoot? The scene of the same podium is too Hollywood, genius won't be like this, right?

When the host of the NSSA National Contest in January 2004 rang out in the screening room, the screen image came to the beach competition, the largest competition in the film, where the country's top athletes gathered, both live and on TV.

While the host introduced the rules of the competition to everyone inside and outside the screen, "the preliminaries and finals are 25 minutes, and each contestant can catch ten waves, of which the two with the highest scores are used as the total score and scored by five international judges", the camera also depicted the grand competition scene.

Spectators, staff, family and friends of the contestants, and contestants!

A group of people who are considered opponents appeared, and just a set of shots and a few sentences of the host introduction shot these taller girls who were not local in Hawaii and didn't know Bethany and they didn't know, and swept away the expressions of several of them, which made people feel excited.

But the audience was more nervous about whether Bethany could beat herself, and she now has huge expectations from around the world.

Is a good result equated with a winner?

Before the start of the preliminaries, Tom gave Bethany some encouragement, showing his fatherly mood, "Today's wave is very big, if you have to win every wave, just hitting the water will consume your physical strength, don't go up every wave, you have to choose." Bethany nodded slightly, and Tom added, "The best surfers know how to feel the sea, they look at the surging waters that haven't fully formed yet, and experience and inspiration will tell them when the best waves will come." Sweetheart, listen to your heart and believe in it. ”

Bethany looked at the sea and nodded, "I try." ”

The camera is all over, and the horn is beeping, and the preliminaries of each group officially begin! Amid the cheers of the audience, the girls rushed into the sea with surfboards in their arms.

The fast-paced editing, Bethany's successful surfing, the family and everyone in front of the TV are excited, but she still has clumsy moments when she falls into the water, Alana and Ashley have good performances, and the girls from other places are equally strong, the judges are scoring, the hosts are broadcasting, the preliminaries are over, and the finals are over!

Six people, three Hawaiian girls, and three out-of-town girls that the audience doesn't know.

The soundtrack is intense, with six girls playing and surfing on the surface of the sea, competing for the big waves, the host sometimes exclaiming and sometimes admiring, the people on the beach have different reactions, and the Hamiltons are sometimes excited and sometimes dumb. The audience was also worried about Bethany's embarrassing shots.

The numbers on the scoreboard on the spot are changing, Bethany's surf count is increasing, and so are the others.

But in terms of points, she is still only fifth, Alanna is fourth, and Ashley is third.

The host said quickly about the current situation, the name of the leader of the champion is very unfamiliar, several players have rushed ten waves and went to the beach to rest, and the three Hawaiian girls are still in the distance. The host said: "There are still 3 minutes left in the game time, Amanda Ashley, Alanna Blanchard, Bethany Hamilton, they all have a chance to surf!"

Another host answered: "Yes, but there is only enough time for them to rush one more wave, and this wave will determine the final ranking! Even Hamilton, a perfect wave with a score of 9.5 or more can rise to the championship position! They all have a chance to create miracles!"

"A big wave is coming! No one is drawing water... They have to wait!" exclaimed the host, "what are they communicating." ”

The big wave was surging and subsided, and the live timer showed that there were only more than 2 minutes left, and the faces of the audience were nervous and serious.

"Alanna, Ashley, wait!" In the middle shot, the three girls are lying on the surfboards on the sea, and Bethany in the middle calls out to the two people on the left and right, they all look at her, their faces are more and more puzzled, and another good wave is coming.

In the close-up shot, Bethany stares into the distance, and when she shoots the long-range shot, she sees that the sea in the distance is undulating, as if something is forming. Her right hand was caressing the sea, and she felt it and said, "There's a big wave coming, soon." ”

The middle scene of the three showed the two girls half-convinced, and Ashley was more disbelieving: "How do you know?"

Bethany had a firm look in her eyes and a gentle tone: "Because this is something that does not suddenly disappear, it will never leave, and now is the time when it will appear." ”

The sea is the sea, and faith is faith.

None of them suddenly disappear, no matter what happens, they are still there. But if you believe and persevere, those loves, hopes, and beauty are all the more precious in difficult times. Now is the time to test you, and now is the time for them to appear.

"I'll stay. Alana began by saying, "Beth, I believe in you. Bethany smiled at her, "Trust the sea." After a moment's hesitation, Ashley laughed and said, "I'm doing something stupid, but if I don't, I'll regret it even more." ”

Whether there was hesitation or hesitation, they believed it! They felt the glory of Bethany's heart, and they showed their glory.

The camera cuts to the host stage on the shore, and the two hosts are very puzzled, "Another big wave has passed, time is running out, what are they waiting for?!" The host's voice was talking and suddenly became a screaming exclamation: "Oh, my God!"

Bethany's expression was calm and happy, Alana and Ashley were shocked, what did they see?

The audience was suddenly boiling, Hamilton was also boiling, the camera cut away, and I saw a monstrous wave surging in the distance of the sea, which was the biggest wave of today's game, the largest since the beginning of the film, and bigger than the waves in "Breaking Point".

That's God!

At this time, the screening room resounded with Michael-W-Smith's pure music Freedom, blending with the sound of the waves and the cries of the audience, and the three girls on the screen were struggling to swim to the waves, and the other stunned contestants were too far away to stop them.

At a distance, the three girls all stood up on the wave and began to ride the wind and waves! From the large long shot from the side, the huge waves seemed to be about to hit them, and it seemed that they were leading the huge waves to the beach, and it seemed that three mermaids were swimming freely.

The audience off the screen was also stunned, if "Breaking Point" is thrilling, "Blue Passion" is hot and sexy, this, "Soul Surfer", no need to be, it is the most beautiful surfing image in the history of movies so far, it is so beautiful, everything is sublimating.

The camera focuses on Bethany in the middle, who is moving forward heroically, the water behind her is getting closer and bigger, and the waves are pouring down to form a sea tunnel. Ashley on the other side turned to the right, Alana to the left, and Bethany to the right of the frame.

The audience on the shore is all looking open, the audience in front of the TV, Hamilton is all looking forward to it.

And people off the screen are undoubtedly most looking forward to the appearance of the one-armed figure.

The camera slows down, almost every drop of water rises and falls, Bethany on the blue surfboard is a little shaky, the impact of the waves is too strong, she stretches out her right hand to control her balance, but it's not enough! she still needs a left hand, or better yet, the body and technique without the left hand.

Suddenly, one of her feet slipped.

In the panoramic view from the side, Bethany flies up in the surging tunnel, as does the surfboard with her feet attached. In the sound of bagpipes in the soundtrack, in the half-body shot, she is completely surrounded by the sea, her open right hand seems to be flying, and the moment she is hit by the sea, she is smiling.

Enough, enough got.

Life is so good, thank God.

The audience saw that from both sides of the Wave Tunnel, Ashley on the right was elected, and Alana on the left came out, and they continued to rush all the way to the shore, their perfect posture shining in the sun. They did their best to look back, and the audience saw that the wave had all fallen, and Bethany had not yet come out of the tunnel.

She floated on the surface of the sea with a surfboard, she fell overboard, failed.

At this moment, more than one audience member in the screening hall suddenly burst into tears, their noses were sore, their eyes were filled with tears, and they cried, and their churning hearts were as if they had been hit by that huge wave. At the same time, Bethany climbs onto her surfboard and stands up, rushing away again with the remaining waves.

The Hamiltons on the beach all had mixed smiles.

The host reported the exciting and regrettable situation, "Amanda Ashley, 9.7 points! The judges gave the highest score of the day, she rose to first place!! Alanna Blanchard, 9.2 points, rose to second place! ”

Another host exclaimed: "What an amazing wave, what a legendary game!"

Bethany returns to the shore, laughing and hugging with her family and friends, Tom and Cherry are happy enough, but the audience is still shocked.

What a great movie! Guggenheim exhaled, I really didn't expect such a treatment, such a positive and inspirational pathos. Last-minute rescue and anti-last-minute rescue are not surprising, but Ye Wei found another way to fuse the two.

Ashley's reversal to win the championship is of course due to her own efforts and belief, but also by Bethany's encouragement, teaching and wave sense to succeed, she succeeded because of love and faith; Bethany is indeed defeated, but her failure is completely due to her misfortune, she has no resentment about it, some just stand up again, the game is lost but she succeeds herself, because of love and faith.

God's arrangement for the three is not different, but it is equally glorious.

"Fifth, Bethany Hamilton!"

The awards were presented on the screen, and the six girls who entered the finals had trophies, the champions, runners-up and third runners-up stood on the stage, and five or six stood on both sides of the stage. Bethany smiled and took her small trophy from the presenters and held it up with her right hand, and the family members around the podium applauded and cheered.

There was an atmosphere in the screening room that was happy for Ashley, but this champion is due to Bethany, will they be on the same stage together?

After Alanna lifted the runner-up trophy, it was Ashley, she took the huge championship trophy with both hands, and sure enough, she called out to the audience: "Beth, come up, come up!" Bethany looked at her, but shook her head and smiled: "Not now, one day I will go up as a champion." You're all careful, I'm getting better!"

The audience was laughing, and the moviegoers couldn't help but chuckle. This strong chick still has her proud side, but she is cheerful, sunny and confident, she has her own way to face the gains and losses, and she will continue to surf and fight for her dream of entering the profession!

Yes, she gets better every day.

Ashley smiled understandingly, took the trophy and spoke to everyone about the winner's speech: "I love surfing, even though it can get rashes, reef cuts and even more terrible. But I want to... In fact, Bethany inspired me not to abandon the good because of the terrible, but to find more good from the terrible. Like surfing always allows me to meet some special people, Bethany, and the last wave she observed, and she shared it with us.

She's an angel and I'm just a mortal, and maybe that's why God makes her so different. ”

While Ashley was talking, the camera swept Tom, Sheri, Alana and others, and swept Bethany, the bright smiling faces!

At this point, the camera rises and cuts to an aerial shot of the beaches, the beautiful islands of Hawaii.

Bethany's narration is accompanied by a soft soundtrack: "Why do bad things happen to good people?" I don't pretend to know the whole answer, but God knows, and we can trust his arrangement. I want to tell people this from personal experience, what I don't want is to make people sympathize with me or worship me like an idol. It's not a big deal for me, I just want to share the things in my story that are useful and interesting to others, and everyone encourages me and helps me, and it seems like my duty. ”

Before the scene was finished, the audience saw a place in a TV show studio, Bethany sat in the guest chair on the left, opposite a middle-aged male host, and people who knew her well immediately laughed, which was a dramatic reproduction of her interview with ABC Channel Nightline.

The host didn't seem to be moved, "So you're going to write a biography?"

Bethany nodded and smiled: "There are many people who help me, but it's still not easy, I have to take my heart out, it's really not easy, and being honest with myself is the hardest." ”

"Will you continue surfing?" the host asked.

Bethany nodded without hesitation, a little grimacing, "Of course! I will continue to pursue my surfing dreams." "Why?" "I think the most fascinating thing about surfing is that you can stand on it and show off your style, even if it's a big storm." This is also our way of life. ”

The host was still unmoved, and asked again, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Off-screen laughter erupted, and the interview at the time really had this problem, Bethany on the screen was stunned, and the host asked again, "Dating?" and her blank expression seemed to say, "Can I not answer?" The host also asked, "Casual date?" She rolled her eyes slightly.

The humorous scenes not only make fun of celebrity culture, but also portray real girls, and also capture Bethany's youthful embarrassment, and she will face many, many trials. The movie leaves Bethany's love life blank, and at the moment when she rolls her eyes, the picture cuts back to the scenery just now.

The sea breeze is stirring the green leaves of the trees along the beach, the camera is moving, and the narrator is again: "I'm still learning how to be a celebrity, how to deal with frustration and every day." I'm only 14 years old and my story doesn't end there. ”

There is golden sand fluttering in the sky, the camera moves all the way and zooms out, under the blue sky and on the sea, Bethany stands alone on the tunnel beach where the accident happened, and the one-armed woman is shaking the glass bottle filled with sea sand in her right hand, and lifting all the sand inside.

The sea breeze never stops, her long pale blonde hair is flowing, the sand is flying, and then she returns to her place of return.

The seas are free, Bethany Hamilton is free!

"What does God have in store for me? I don't really know, but I do know one thing: my life's adventure has just begun. ”

The 95-minute feature film ended, when Katie Hudson's 16-year-old self-titled album Katy-Hudson (2001-5-06) Faith-Wont-Fail sounded, and the screen entered the end credits, the names of other important people not introduced in the beginning of the film scrolled on the left, and Bethany's real image appeared on the right!

The audience in the Brown Bear Theater was already standing up, and more than 700 guests and audiences clapped their palms, blushed, wept, and shouted...... Praise and blessing from the heart!!

"You can throw me into the lion's den

But they can't hurt me

for thy kindness surrounds me

That set me free."

The real person in the video, Bethany, in a hospital gown, sits on a hospital bed in a hospital room, smiling at the camera, slapping a balloon with her right hand in a hospital hallway, cutting fruit when she first comes home and toppling it on the ground with one hand, and Gingy sniffing her severed arm like an examiner.

"I can walk on the sea

without being overwhelmed by the waves

Because my eyes are fixed on you

No one can beat me."

In the film, Bethany returns to the sea for the first time and surfs again, and after two failed attempts, she manages to get up and make it all the way to the shore, her usual hard training, and her wonderful performance in the NSSA National Competition.

"Because he will be victorious

In all the trials and tribulations I went through

He's going to win

In all the sins and temptations I have experienced

He's going to win."

Bethany took the trophy from the staff after finishing fifth at the 2004 NSSA National Championship, and in 2005 she won the trophy!

"When I fail, he comes and motivates me

So time and time again, my faith will never be broken

Again and again, my faith will never be broken"

Also in 2005, Bethany was invited by World Vision to go to Thailand, the hardest-hit area of the South Asian tsunami, where she taught children Hawaiian dance and taught them surfing. ”

"His angels surround me

And you're bleeding for me

I'll keep going

Won't fail

Because time and time again, my faith will never be broken"

Bethany walked the MLB kick-off on the professional baseball field, cheering as the host said, "The honorable kickoff for the 2004 season is Bethany Hamilton!" and threw a good shot with her right hand! She won the "bravest" award at the Junior Choice Awards in 2004, and she took the stage to accept the award and said, "I think I got courage from Christ Jesus, and he said, 'Be strong!'" and she won the 2004 ESPY "Comeback of the Year" award.

"Because he will be victorious

In all the trials and tribulations I went through

He's going to win

In all the sins and temptations I have experienced

He's going to win."

There was a burst of laughter in the theater, and a real Nightline interview with the ABC logo appeared, and the host asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" Bethany was stunned and said slowly: "I don't have a boyfriend...... Life is very busy right now, and I'm not in a hurry. I'm really happy to keep my purity in my marriage, I'm not pursuing anyone, but I really enjoy life. ”

"When I fail, he comes and motivates me

over and over

He's going to win

over and over

My faith will never be broken"

At this time, the real life images of other people appeared one after another, Tom, Sheri, Noah, Tim, Alana, Holt, Byron, Sarah's Mentor, Bethany's coach Russell Lewis, and others, and Gingey, all of them surfing, all of them. Among them, Bethany, who had both hands before the accident, was among them, she surfed with her two brothers, she played guitar with Alanna, and she played with Gingey......

There's also the movie crew's heroic surfing of Bethany! She successfully passed through a big wave tunnel, and she was churning on the surface of the sea, so shining.

There was already a burst of applause in the screening room, looking at the excited audience around them, both adults and teenagers, Julia Roberts grinned while clapping, awards season?

Movie genius Ye Wei did not disappoint!

Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Toronto......

At this time, the singing gradually stopped, the live-action video was gone, and the full ending credits were released on the screen, and the first to roll was the cast, and the singing of another song immediately sounded, which was still Katie Hudson's song, Growing-Pains.

This fresh and playful girl's song brought different emotions to the audience, the surging heart was like being illuminated by the sunshine of youth, and the audience who was just about to leave stopped and listened to Bethany's other heart:

"You probably thought

I can find out

A simple song

A picture of me

Perform to the public

I don't have to provide it yet

I probably don't have a Ph.D. in philosophy

Or speak eloquently

I'm nothing

I'm more ordinary than you see me

What I'm trying to say at length is

I'm just a kid

In many ways!"

In Manhattan, New York, Amy hummed softly along with this unknown song, which is not only Bethany's heart, but also Ye Wei's heart, her heart, and the voice of thousands of young people.

"I'm still growing

And stretch your wings

Still breaking the trap

In those new shoes

Look for a way

Go and create your own unique mark

I'm just an ignorant chick

wet behind the ears

It's part of life

So there's nothing to be afraid of

Those growing pains

I will overcome it."

Scarborough, Toronto, because of this song, the audience applauded in the screening hall again, and Nina was clapping vigorously, smiling brightly, feeling that she was healed, completely healed!

"I don't feel remorse

I'm not ashamed

I haven't started to speak in tongues yet.

(Like the wisest prophets)

Maybe one day it will

But now I'm grateful

Be part of my family tree

And the older brother upstairs

Really good for me

Good job done for my good work

What about this job

to be done in eternity"

In Brentwood, Los Angeles, the Ye family's living room was full of unstoppable jubilation, and Bud was still crying, Duoduo persuaded him not to cry, it was impossible for the sand to float into his eyes!

Toto wanted to meet the surfing Shar Pei.

"It's just that when I understand everything I can understand

The pains and blows of those growing up are here again!

I'm still growing

And stretch your wings

Still breaking the trap

In those new shoes

Look for a way

Go and create your own unique mark

I'm just an ignorant chick

wet behind the ears

It's part of life

So there's nothing to be afraid of

Those growing pains

I will overcome it."

There was also a touching applause from the girls in the luxurious home theater, Lily Oh, she wanted to say something, but she could only say another long Oh, she felt like she was going to be a nymphomaniac.

"Again and again

Again, the pain came!

Will it end just this time?

"It's a life lesson for us

Make us wise and wise"

But young people and old people

They all tell me these great truths

Oh my God, those growing pains

Never far away

So I have to keep trying to be strong."

The audience at the Brown Bear Theater was already crazy, and the applause and cheers could not express the surging feelings in their hearts because of Bethany, because of this story, because of this movie. Hamilton couldn't express his feelings at the moment, even he was moved, and it was right to hand it over to VIY for adaptation and shooting, perfect!

In the middle of the first row, Emma's voice trembled with excitement: "It's so handsome! Oh my God, it's amazing!"

Ye Wei was also giving a standing ovation, but he had a cold face and said a word to her.

"I'm not satisfied. ”

"What are you talking about?" Emma asked inaudible, the applause was too loud, and the song was too good.

"That's what I'm trying to say at length

I'm just a kid

In many ways!

I'm still growing

And stretch your wings

Still breaking the trap

In those new shoes

Look for a way

Go and create your own unique mark

I'm just an ignorant chick

wet behind the ears

It's part of life

So there's nothing to be afraid of

Those growing pains

I will overcome it

Oh baby

Don't worry about anything

Thank you, thank you very much, thank you, thank you!" "Not now, one day I'll go up as a champion. You're all careful, I'm getting better!"

The audience was laughing, and the moviegoers couldn't help but chuckle. This strong chick still has her proud side, but she is cheerful, sunny and confident, she has her own way to face the gains and losses, and she will continue to surf and fight for her dream of entering the profession!

Yes, she gets better every day.

Ashley smiled understandingly, took the trophy and spoke to everyone about the winner's speech: "I love surfing, even though it can get rashes, reef cuts and even more terrible. But I want to... In fact, Bethany inspired me not to abandon the good because of the terrible, but to find more good from the terrible. Like surfing always allows me to meet some special people, Bethany, and the last wave she observed, and she shared it with us.

She's an angel and I'm just a mortal, and maybe that's why God makes her so different. ”

While Ashley was talking, the camera swept Tom, Sheri, Alana and others, and swept Bethany, the bright smiling faces!

At this point, the camera rises and cuts to an aerial shot of the beaches, the beautiful islands of Hawaii.

Bethany's narration is accompanied by a soft soundtrack: "Why do bad things happen to good people?" I don't pretend to know the whole answer, but God knows, and we can trust his arrangement.

The host was still unmoved, and asked again, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Off-screen laughter erupted, and the interview at the time really had this problem, Bethany on the screen was stunned, and the host asked again, "Dating?" and her blank expression seemed to say, "Can I not answer?" The host also asked, "Casual date?" She rolled her eyes slightly.

The humorous scenes not only make fun of celebrity culture, but also portray real girls, and also capture Bethany's youthful embarrassment, and she will face many, many trials.

The sea breeze never stops, her long pale blonde hair is flowing, the sand is flying, and then she returns to her place of return.

The seas are free, Bethany Hamilton is free!

"What does God have in store for me? I don't really know, but I do know one thing: my life's adventure has just begun. ”

The 95-minute feature film ended, when Katie Hudson's 16-year-old self-titled album Katy-Hudson (2001-5-06) Faith-Wont-Fail sounded, and the screen entered the end credits, the names of other important people not introduced in the beginning of the film scrolled on the left, and Bethany's real image appeared on the right!

The real person in the video, Bethany, in a hospital gown, sits on a hospital bed in a hospital room, smiling at the camera, slapping a balloon with her right hand in a hospital hallway, cutting fruit when she first comes home and toppling it on the ground with one hand, and Gingy sniffing her severed arm like an examiner.

"I can walk on the sea

without being overwhelmed by the waves

Because my eyes are fixed on you

No one can beat me."

In the film, Bethany returns to the sea for the first time and surfs again, and after two failed attempts, she manages to get up and make it all the way to the shore, her usual hard training, and her wonderful performance in the NSSA National Competition.

"Because he will be victorious

In all the trials and tribulations I went through

He's going to win

In all the sins and temptations I have experienced

He's going to win."

Bethany took the trophy from the staff after finishing fifth at the 2004 NSSA National Championship, and in 2005 she won the trophy!

"When I fail, he comes and motivates me

So time and time again, my faith will never be broken

Again and again, my faith will never be broken"

Also in 2005, Bethany was invited by World Vision to go to Thailand, the hardest-hit area of the South Asian tsunami, where she taught children Hawaiian dance and taught them surfing. ”

"His angels surround me

And you're bleeding for me

I'll keep going

Won't fail

Because time and time again, my faith will never be broken"

Bethany walked the MLB kick-off on the professional baseball field, cheering as the host said, "The honorable kickoff for the 2004 season is Bethany Hamilton!" and threw a good shot with her right hand! She won the "bravest" award at the Junior Choice Awards in 2004, and she took the stage to accept the award and said, "I think I got courage from Christ Jesus, and he said, 'Be strong!'" and she won the 2004 ESPY "Comeback of the Year" award.

"Because he will be victorious

In all the trials and tribulations I went through

He's going to win

In all the sins and temptations I have experienced

He's going to win."

There was a burst of laughter in the theater, and a real Nightline interview with the ABC logo appeared, and the host asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" Bethany was stunned and said slowly: "I don't have a boyfriend...... Life is very busy right now, and I'm not in a hurry. I'm really happy to keep my purity in my marriage, I'm not pursuing anyone, but I really enjoy life. ”

"When I fail, he comes and motivates me

over and over

He's going to win

over and over

My faith will never be broken"

At this time, the real life images of other people appeared one after another, Tom, Sheri, Noah, Tim, Alana, Holt, Byron, Sarah's Mentor, Bethany's coach Russell Lewis, and others, and Gingey, all of them surfing, all of them. Among them, Bethany, who had both hands before the accident, was among them, she surfed with her two brothers, she played guitar with Alanna, and she played with Gingey......

There's also the movie crew's heroic surfing of Bethany! She successfully passed through a big wave tunnel, and she was churning on the surface of the sea, so shining.

There was already a burst of applause in the screening room, looking at the excited audience around them, both adults and teenagers, Julia Roberts grinned while clapping, awards season?

Movie genius Ye Wei did not disappoint!

Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Toronto......

At this time, the singing gradually stopped, the live-action video was gone, and the full ending credits were released on the screen, and the first to roll was the cast, and the singing of another song immediately sounded, which was still Katie Hudson's song, Growing-Pains.

This fresh and playful girl's song brought different emotions to the audience, the surging heart was like being illuminated by the sunshine of youth, and the audience who was just about to leave stopped and listened to Bethany's other heart:

"You probably thought

I can find out

A simple song

A picture of me

Perform to the public

I don't have to provide it yet

I probably don't have a Ph.D. in philosophy

Or speak eloquently

I'm nothing

I'm more ordinary than you see me

What I'm trying to say at length is

I'm just a kid

In many ways!"

In Manhattan, New York, Amy hummed softly along with this unknown song, which is not only Bethany's heart, but also Ye Wei's heart, her heart, and the voice of thousands of young people.

"I'm still growing

And stretch your wings

Still breaking the trap

In those new shoes

Look for a way

Go and create your own unique mark

I'm just an ignorant chick

wet behind the ears

It's part of life

So there's nothing to be afraid of

Those growing pains

I will overcome it."

Scarborough, Toronto, because of this song, the audience applauded in the screening hall again, and Nina was clapping vigorously, smiling brightly, feeling that she was healed, completely healed!

"I don't feel remorse

I'm not ashamed

I haven't started to speak in tongues yet.

(Like the wisest prophets)

Maybe one day it will

But now I'm grateful

Be part of my family tree

And the older brother upstairs

Really good for me

Good job done for my good work

What about this job

to be done in eternity"

In Brentwood, Los Angeles, the Ye family's living room was full of unstoppable jubilation, and Bud was still crying, Duoduo persuaded him not to cry, it was impossible for the sand to float into his eyes!

Toto wanted to meet the surfing Shar Pei.

"It's just that when I understand everything I can understand

The pains and blows of those growing up are here again!

I'm still growing

And stretch your wings

Still breaking the trap

In those new shoes

Look for a way

Go and create your own unique mark

I'm just an ignorant chick

wet behind the ears

It's part of life

So there's nothing to be afraid of

Those growing pains

I will overcome it."

There was also a touching applause from the girls in the luxurious home theater, Lily Oh, she wanted to say something, but she could only say another long Oh, she felt like she was going to be a nymphomaniac.

"Again and again

Again, the pain came!

Will it end just this time?

"It's a life lesson for us

Make us wise and wise"

But young people and old people

They all tell me these great truths

Oh my God, those growing pains

Never far away

So I have to keep trying to be strong."

The audience at the Brown Bear Theater was already crazy, and the applause and cheers could not express the surging feelings in their hearts because of Bethany, because of this story, because of this movie. Hamilton couldn't express his feelings at the moment, even he was moved, and it was right to hand it over to VIY for adaptation and shooting, perfect!

In the middle of the first row, Emma's voice trembled with excitement: "It's so handsome! Oh my God, it's amazing!"

Ye Wei was also giving a standing ovation, but he had a cold face and said a word to her.

"I'm not satisfied. ”

"What are you talking about?" Emma asked inaudible, the applause was too loud, and the song was too good.

"That's what I'm trying to say at length

I'm just a kid

In many ways!

I'm still growing

And stretch your wings

Still breaking the trap

In those new shoes

Look for a way

Go and create your own unique mark

I'm just an ignorant chick

wet behind the ears

It's part of life

So there's nothing to be afraid of

Those growing pains

I will overcome it

Oh baby

Don't worry about anything

Thank you, thank you very much, thank you, thank you!"
