勇气

有信仰让我这样没有信仰的人很羡慕，又有点无法理解他们想让别人也相信上帝的这种心理。

不管怎样，这些让人很善良。

不过，不过！

上帝让你天天开着车打电话聊天啊！！！

不知道导演、编剧之类的是怎么想的。

我是在北京天天看着司机们边打电话边闯红灯、拐弯、超车，实在揪心，看这个电影注意到这细节也觉得别扭。

虽然这个片子我到最后才知道这是个家庭教育片 但他给我们的是一种生活态度、信念。

我学习到了很多，他其实就是我看过很多美国出的书，比如说《秘密》、《轻而易举的富足》一样，这个片子就是传达这个理念，让我们怀着感激的心态去看这个世界。

其中片中的一个男主角，他来到他女儿以前去过的那棵树下，陪他的女儿跳了剩下那半之舞，他说：”主啊，感谢你让我与Emily在一起的9年，我很感激，我不知道我能不能这个祈求，你能不能告诉她，我已经跳了这半边的舞。

”他想的是感激，而不是恨！

这就是心灵法则的秘密。

不管遇到什么困难，都往好处想，去感激。

可能很多人说是传教，为什么不多去想想这个他们的文化，他们的生活习惯，去学习他们的好处呢。

结尾的演讲：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 I 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.I 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."

看了这部电影，想想当下的生活，觉得有些无语，觉得这个故事似曾相识，在以前的教科书里。

现在看来，都是到了极致的理想化。

想想现在的我们，还有勇气吗？

电影里的人用宗教鼓舞自己，寻找勇气，那我们呢？

记得上高中时老师告诉我们，中国人没有这种对宗教信仰。

身边大多数人盲目、浮躁、拜金，现在的人还有多少懂得尊重、谦卑。

这部电影看着既温情又失望，失望这只是部电影。

不知道要多大的勇气，才能像电影里的人那样坚持，不随波逐流。

有一个信仰，一个叫人向上的信仰，能不能获得这种勇气？

描写了四个警察和一个西班牙移民的故事。

一个警察的爱女不幸车祸罹难，全家都悲痛不已，让他反思如何做个好父亲，如何做一个男人。

他是基督信徒，从圣经中得到了答案。

五个人带家人在牧师和上帝面前，签署了一个协议，承诺做个正直，负责的父亲，男人，公民。

以让家人幸福，孩子健康成长，同时自己不违背良心和法律。

这是一个巨大考验，不是轻而易举的。

有一个警察落马，身陷囹圄，其他四人努力过关。

影响了身边人，让大家重视男人和父亲的责任，并身体力行。

人的一生，总会遇到各种不幸，艰难前行，大家都是平凡人，力量有限。

但是互相监督，互相帮助鼓励，总是会前进，达到设定的目标。

传递正能量的佳作，真实，也让人不仅思索宗教的意义。

尼采曾经说过，唯物主义哲学都是肤浅的玩意。

哲学的精深博大鄙人难以领会，用神来监督约束世人，提高世人道德水平，也不啻为一种高明的办法。

《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."

一部朋友推荐了很久的电影，存在硬盘一年了，一直没有来得及看。

这个周日早上偶然听到来自CASTING CROWNS在2011年写下的COURAGEOUS（勇气）这首歌，很受感动，后来才发现是为这部电影写的主题曲。

于是晚上找出了这部搁置已久的电影安静地看完。

电影勇气，从父亲这个角色出发，以四个主人公不同的家庭，各自在面临人生中的不同选择时，如何拿出勇气去承担，去宽容，去坚守，去改变。

影片没有选择多么宏大的主题，惊心动魄的故事，而穿插其中的都是每天可能会发生在任何一个普通人生活中的情境或遭遇。

经历失去爱女的ADAM如何承担起扶持家人并修复与之疏远的儿子的父子关系；因年少轻狂而逃避责任的DAVID如何面对自己抛下的女友和四岁的女儿；曾被父亲遗弃的NATHAN如何与过去和解，并为带领保护自己的家人而努力；承受经济压力的JAVIER在面对上司以作假换升职的考验时如何做出正确选择。

影片正是通过这些一个个在现今世俗标准里似乎不需要再去思考就能理所应当做出选择的事情，再次让人们重新去发现一个父亲的角色，定义与所应具备的品质。

影片之所以取名为勇气，也是在不断挑战着人们当面临现实和信仰发生冲突时，需要多大的勇气来迈出那一步。

父亲这个角色是上帝极其看重的，因为它同时也是上帝和我们自身关系的一个象征。

父亲在家庭中被赋予更多权柄的同时，也必定要承担起更多的责任，他理应是一个家庭的领路人，保护者，如同天父对他的子女所做的一样。

影片也通过很多细节触及人心。

失去女儿后，亚当再次来到那棵大树下，怀抱想象中的女儿，第一次在生命中起舞，跳完了那支当时没有答应女儿陪她跳的舞；内森在餐厅里慎重地给女儿戴上守贞戒指，并让她知道保守自己的圣洁是如此重要，并请求女儿允许父亲一直守护她，直到那个上帝应许的人出现，他会毫不犹豫地将她交托；哈维尔，这个大多人眼中的失败者，当他第一次穿着西装站在镜子前不知所措时，妻子深情地对他说：“你有爱你的上帝，有珍惜你的朋友，有崇拜你的妻子，你是富有的人。

” 这些细节，之所以打动人，是因为在这喧嚣浮华，各种价值观交集的世界，很多最基本的纯真和爱在被渐渐遗忘和忽视。

它们被认为是不合适宜，难以在这世上生存和立足的。

当清楚地意识到作为一名父亲所要担当的而不只是形式化地成为那个人之后，影片中的四个主人公在ADAM的发起下，向上帝做出了那个庄严而神对的承诺。

这里让RESOLUTION(决心）这个词变得不再只是 短期目标，也不是新年制订的计划，很快伴随着热情的减退而淡忘。

而是一个一生之久的承诺，要不断鼓起勇气，克服挑战来践行。

这是每一位在作好做父亲的准备前理应做出的承诺。

不得不说的一部好片，整本透露着细腻，温情，感动。

向你完整诠释了怎样去做一个好男人，好父亲，好丈夫，值得你去细细的品位。

当片中父亲在草坪上回忆女儿跳舞的片段，当有私生女的帅哥给曾经抛弃的女友写信的片段，当曾经的失业落魄男穿上新西装站在镜子前微笑的片段等等场景，无不让人动容。

当然也有人可能会质疑通篇的说教，传教味很浓，但不得不否认，现今的社会，到处充斥着食品安全，房屋，路桥倒塌，种种恶行以及道德的沦丧，不正是，整个民族信仰的缺失所导致的恶果吗？

你所要面对的困难选择，是你要为自己不能与爱人继续在一起的时间而生气，还是为你得以与她共处的时间而感恩？！

前半部分看得很投入，不得不出去办事的时候还跟朋友说，这片子真不错，没有一个大明星，也没有帅哥美女，感觉很真实，题材也挺有思想，没想到，下半部形势急转直下，几位男主开始不停的把LORD 挂在嘴边随时随地说教，几个情节也格式化到一塌糊涂--尤其是JAVI被BOSS谈话说要提拔但必须一心跟随BOSS做假，其实不过是个局考验JAVI---实在是老套到都不忍吐槽了。

中间发生了什么？

编导到哪里挤了挤脑袋做事业线？
