Day 79 - A Movie You've Watched Recently

Day 79 - A Movie You've Watched Recently

I have had the pleasure of seeing the movie Big Hero Six in theaters recently.  I gotta say, I loved it!  I loved it so much I saw it twice: the night it came out and back in my hometown dollar theater.  It's a great movie and I highly recommend it.  

Big Hero Six is about an intelligent young boy named Hiro, who's trying to find his way in the world.  He develops a special bond with an inflatable robot named Baymax.  Hiro in inherits Baymax shortly after his brother is killed in a tragic university fire.  Hiro soon discovers there's something a little mysterious about the fire and partners up with a group of friends and Baymax to discover what exactly happened.  

You might think this is a pretty deep movie to be an animated family film, and yes, you are right. The emotion and thoughts behind the story itself can tug at the heart (sort of like the movie "Up," if you've ever seen it).  However, the film counteracts the emotion and delivers an action-packed message we can all take to heart.  Again, I highly recommend it.  There are lots of laughs, especially from Baymax.

In closing, I just want to share the quote that has really stood out to me after seeing the film twice.  This is a quote Hiro narrates right at the end of the film.

"We didn't set out to be superheroes.  But sometimes life doesn't go the way you planned."

He goes on to say that he and his friends are going to go on and help a lot of people, just like his brother set out to do when he was creating Baymax; a medical robot.

Wonderful words worth considering as we head into a new year.  You may not set out to be a superhero in 2015, but sometimes life encourages us to take that step.  Saving the day means impacting the people around you and the world beneath your feet.  

I just gotta ask, how might you set out to do that?  What will you do in 2015 to make the world a better place and make a difference?  And who will you do it for?  Go BIG!  :)
