勇气

看过这部电影之后，我想相信耶稣，相信神明，需要牧师一样的老师来指引我的人生之路。印象最深的是艾米对信仰的坚信，女儿的死亡让他重新开始思考人生，开始新的生活。

艾米爸爸因为没有和女儿跳舞感到很后悔，后来自己一个人在女儿生前的地方一个人慢慢的跳舞，跳给女儿看的，很感动。它教我如何做人，如何做个好父亲，如何相信信仰。

意在刻画作为父亲的角色的重要性，在电影的结尾更是强调了这一点，主人公的演讲和那份决议书还是挺振奋人心的，但是一点，这样一个信仰上帝的国度，强调的太多的上帝的重要和信任，也许上帝在他们心中就是个神啊....心是好的....thanks

   
《勇气》的故事俗套犹如沉闷无趣的教育片，3分（满分5）。它的确是一部高尚、正直、心怀信仰的电影，传递正能量，尤其提倡父爱的重要性。片中五位爸爸改掉“恶习”，关爱小孩，肩负家庭与工作重担，忠于上帝，携手构建美好、和谐、正义的社会。
   
说来，人孰能无过，关键在于“知错能改，善莫大焉” 。本来有点大男子主义的男主，因女儿不幸逝世给他莫大的打击，幡然醒悟，决定重新开始生活，信奉上帝，上帝给他光明的指示，让他不再“迷失”，亦改善了他和儿子僵硬的关系。因儿时被父亲抛弃而憎恨父亲的男主2号，自从信奉“god is my dad”，他放下心中怨恨，重新开始，好好做人，好好做一个有责任感、有素质、有爱心的父亲。少不更事的男主3号，抛弃了意外怀孕的拉拉队长，隐瞒自己作父亲的实事，信奉上帝后，改过自新，努力成为一个好爸爸、好丈夫、好警察。心中有邪念的男主4号，作为人民警官，私藏毒品，被好友告发后，悔不当初，没有端正态度信奉上帝，现已认真祈祷，在监狱里求上帝保佑全家平安。身怀信念的男主5号，起初的落魄，无时无刻不在求上帝帮助，善良、正直、可爱的他平步青云，高升工厂主管，这可是一家人的期盼啊。
  
此片传达“教育”“关爱”“信仰”的意义，若你心怀信仰，以身作则，呵护家庭，主持正义，好运才会降临，哪些心怀鬼胎、滥竽充数之辈总会遭到报应。 我也相信，这是一个好人的世界。可惜，我没有信仰，唯有读书看报评点是非，偶尔也侃侃产品技术，时而快乐时而忧虑，小市民一枚。
  
原勇气伴你前行。

（片尾男主的演讲，以此共勉，I will ~ ）
As a law-enforcement officer, I've seen firsthand the deep hurt and devastation that fatherlessness brings in a child's life. Our prisons are full of men and women who lived recklessly after being abandoned by their fathers, wounded by the men who should have loved them the most. Many now follow the same pattern of irresponsibility that their fathers did. While so many mothers have sacrificed to help their children survive, they were never intended to carry the weight alone. We thank God for them.

But research is proving that a child also desperately needs a daddy. There's no way around this fact.As you know, earlier this year, my family endured the tragic loss of our 9-year-old daughter, Emily. Her death forced me to realize that not only had I not taken advantage of the priceless time I had with her, but that I did not truly understand how crucial my role was as a father to her and our son, Dylan. Since her passing, I've asked God to show me, through his word how to be the father that I need to be. I now believe that God desires for every father to courageously step up and do whatever it takes to be involved in the lives of his children.

But more than just being there or providing for them, he's to walk with them through their lives and be a visual representation of the character of God, their father in heaven. A father should love his children and seek to win their hearts. He should protect them, discipline them and teach them about God.He should model how to walk with integrity and treat others with respect and should call out his children to become responsible men and women who live their lives for what matters in eternity.

Some men will hear this and mock it or ignore it.But I tell you that as a father, you are accountable to God for the position of influence he has given you. You can't fall asleep at the wheel only to wake up one day and realize that your job or your hobbies have no eternal value but the souls of your children do.

Some men will hear this and agree with it but have no resolve to live it out. lnstead, they will live for themselves and waste the opportunity to leave a godly legacy for the next generation.But there are some men who, regardless of the mistakes we've made in the past, regardless of what our fathers did not do for us, will give the strength of our arms and the rest of our days to loving God with all that we are and to teach our children to do the same, and, whenever possible, to love and mentor others who have no father in their lives but who desperately need help and direction.


We are inviting any man whose heart is willing and courageous to join us in this resolution. In my home, the decision has already been made.

You don't have to ask who will guide my family, because by God's grace, I will.

You don't have to ask who will teach my son to follow Christ, because l will.

Who will accept the responsibility of providing and protecting my family? I will.

Who will ask God to break the chain of destructive patterns in my family's history? I will.

Who will pray for and bless my children to boldly pursue whatever God calls them to do? I am their father. l will.

I accept this responsibility, and it is my privilege to embrace it.I want the favor of God and his blessing on my home. Any good man does.

So where are you, men of courage?

Where are you, fathers who fear the Lord?

It's time to rise up and answer the call that God has given to you and to say, "I will. I will. I will."

一开始就被Nathan拼命保护孩子的父爱打动。如果肉身的父亲尚且愿意为孩子舍命，那天父的爱岂不更大吗？
本片剧情其实很简单，然而对几个主角的心理和生活都刻画得很真实。Adam痛失爱女之后与儿子从原先的冷漠一步步到互相珍惜振作起来的片段很真实很有感染力；Havier开始虽然卑微但是依旧充满信心，而他的信心也影响家里的人，尤其是最后他以为要被辞退了，妻子对即将再次回到困苦的生活而痛苦万分，但是依然鼓励Havier靠着主可以渡过。这才是幸福！
本片对于不信主的观众来说有些煽情，但是父亲的责任是每个人都应该做到的~
