Going to the Mat (2004)
Non-Visual Acceptance
Wow~ I was completely impressed with this movie. This movie is about a kid named Jace, played by Andrew Lawerence, who moves from New York City to Utah. Apprehensive about how everyone will interact with him, Jace doesn't know how to respond to his new environment change. At the beginning, peers perceive Jace as a snob. With a wake-up call from his friend, MaryBeth Rice and Mr. Wyatt (who shares his disability played by Wayne Brady) Jace decides to stop being "the jerk." He also decides to go out for the wrestling team. At first, Jace isn't exactly "the star wrestler" but with the help of MaryBeth, he is able to start winning his matches, and he makes friends with his fellow teammates. This story plot encompasses determination, persistence, teamwork, some love, and teaches the viewer never give up. "Play your song a different way. Play it so people can see you for who you are. People will listen to the music you make." I was truly inspired by this movie, which is based on a real-life story. Five out of Five stars! =)
At First Sight (1999)
It's not enough to see, you have to look.
This is an inspiring film that shows that the only thing that matters to love is that people connect with each other. Amy is what one might call a "work-alcoholic". The love and understanding of a blind man allows Amy to see the world. Virgil, a small-town massage therapist is used to having his older protective sister take care of him, but when a client walks into his office, they fall in love with each other. Virgil didn't care what Amy looked like, he loved her. When an operation allows Virgil to regain his sight, he moves away from everything he knows, and into a world where he has to be reliant on sight. This begins to test Virgil and Amy's relationship. Was Amy herself blinded by the fact that Virgil wasn't meant to see? This truly is a movie of love and understanding, patience and passion, determination and drive.
