Review of Chasing Mavericks (2012) by Ole J — 26 Mar 2013

This might not be the best movie ever, but I think the critics on this is missing something that most of the viewers apparently have gotten :) This is a heartwarming film, about a special individual that had passion, excitement about and was a natural at surfing.

Jay Moriarity played by Jonny Weston is this boy that grows up wanting nothing else then surfing waves and big ones at that if possible, Frosty played Gerard Butler is the mentor that is though but fair and want him to learn that this is not for everyone and you have to practice to be perfect, if you are not perfect or well trained you will not survive the mavericks.

I find surfing fascinating, it looks very cool and the surfes look very alive when surfing. I guess this is a very real tale about how it is, how it feels and how it looks to them selves and everyone around them.

But also a film about taking risks, experience new things and being yourself.
