My first connection- Movie We are Marshall.
Well I am no movie reviewer but if I was I would give this movie a 6 out 5 stars. It was one of the most inspirational movies I have ever seen. Personally, being into sports I love football and basketball movies like Glory Road, and Remember the Titans. This movie was a little different. One of the most shocking parts of the movie is before the beginning credits even come. While I sat there in the theater the screen went black and then in the most serious lettering I have ever seen it said, “This is a true story”. After the movie I really thought about that first part. What the people who experienced this must have gone through. If you don’t know the story about Marshall, a football team, the coaches, parents, recruiters, and fans all were on a plane ride back from an away game. The plane was struck down and crashed in a near by town forest area. All 75 people on the plane ended up dying. I thought about what some of those people were and what some people lost. I don’t know what I would do. I really have no idea what I would do if I lost somebody. In the movie they were talking about all the losses. Some people lost brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers. Some people ended up losing both parents. Let alone from the issues with sports at school, what some families personally lost. I know at if I lost a family member whether it was my mom, my dad, or my annoying at times brother, or even a best friend, I would be devastated. Life seems like it would be hard to go by day to day knowing that you will never see that person again. Never have the good times and the bad times you and that special person shared. It would be heartbreaking. Really the message I am just tying to send to you is that it is important to appreciate what you have now so that when it is gone you know you were able to get as much time with them as you could. At the young age you are now you should still hang out with your parents and chill with your friends so when that day comes when you guys may not be together anymore, you still have so many memories with them. It’s important to remember.
