The recent release of a biopic based on an extraordinary journey of a young
Australian has hit screens at a poignant
moment in time. The movie charts the campaign of a determined 16-year-old
attempting to solo-circumnavigate the world. Despite not completing the journey
due to a technicality, her grit and determination have become legendary,
inspiring millions around the world.
The film captures the goodwill of her achievement and the nostalgia of a
particular moment in history, leaving even the most unflappable moved by the
climax. Though the movie has its flaws, there is value in its earnest belief in
the human spirit, reminding us that it's okay to fail and feel defeated, as long
as we keep believing in our dreams. |
