Unsure whether to recommend for teens who have their lives ahead of them with a great future envisioned with perfect health. I always want to warn these kids of all the dangers and how fast they will grow up and think this is the best time of their lives and so on. However, why bring them down and make them worry any more than they have to? I totter on the line between providing wisdom and letting them find their own way. However, a film like this that demonstrates such a strong will to overcome great challenges both mental and physical is tough to ignore.
I was surprised they included the beautiful sweet girlfriend who abandoned him even before he had a chance to demonstrate his rapid recovery. Bullet dodged but how this girl would be hated if she actually existed in real life. The extent of the lessons learned appeared to be very realistic and the ending was appropriate. Looks like when a big part of you dies another stronger, deeper, emotionally connected you emerges. Great perspective and provides insights for seeking outside professional help to enhance recovery.
High recommend for anyone who knows others experiencing a loss of a former life, how to resort to gratitude for inspiration and overall a wonderful transformation of a tragic event.
