My favourite film : Chasing Mavericks

Chasing Mavericks

This american film was made in 2012 and was directed by Curtis Hanson and . The director of this film have also made more films like a love story called
" Lucky you".
I choose the film " Mavericks" because when I saw it for the fist time I was 10 years old and that was the year that I started doing surf at summer and for me this film was very representative and motivatif for the moment.

Plot

- The lifestyle of Jay.
- How he discovers the secret of the huge wave and how he gets to surf it.
-The trainning and the personal improve.

The Story pattern

1. YOU: A teenager lives near to the beach.
   
2. NEED: Find his ambition.
   
3. GO: he discovers de huge wave
   
4. SEARCH: he pulls his weight to reach his dream
   
5. FIND: he has to learn of his mistakes.
   
6. TAKE: very hard trainning
   
7. RETURN: he finally surf the wave
   
8. CHANGE: he is in love with his girlfriend.

This film shows the story of a young boy, Jay Moriarty, who has issues at home so he discovers the surf and starts practicing. He has a neighbourd who keeps a secret and Jay discovers it. The secret has been keept for decades and now that Jay knows about it he wants to surf that amazing and incredible wave.  Jay surfs perfectly and Frosty knows but to surf a maverick he has to improve physically but also mentally. In fact, it shows how Jay gets to win his problems and reaches to surf that wave, called mavericks. The message of the film are more than one; trying and hard working is how we get thinks and also that you have to believe in yourself more than anyone else.
This is an inspiring film based on a real life of a boy called Jay so it talks about his life and it ends in the sadness that Moriarty dies at the age of 22 while doing what he loved: taking risks with the sea.

To sum up, it seems to me that it's a film that makes you think and in fact following  your dreams and how you can pull your weight to get thinks that you want, dream or need. In a way it makes you think that you are stronger and that with effort you would reach what you love.
