I’m so excited to host a giveaway to help you win a DVD copy of Storm Boy, a beautiful, contemporary retelling of Colin Thielle’s beloved novella of the same name, directed by Shawn Seet and starring Geoffrey Rush, Jai Courtney, Finn Little, David Gulpilil, Erik Thomson and Morgana Davies.
My daughters and I really loved this movie and I must admit we all cried a lot watching it. It is a very touching film for the whole family.
There were many quotes and positive lessons that resonated with me during the movie and I want to share them with you for a bit of inspiration:
“Tomorrow – it’s important.”
“You’re just like everyone else – gut-less.”
“Believe in things!”
“He’s the smallest and the weakest, but he doesn’t die.”
“Sometimes you forget the best things you ever learned.”
“Sometimes you’ve got to do what you know is right, even if they’re going to hate you for it.”
“Talking to the land – paying my respects.”
Everyone has issues with their parents.
Telling stories to your children is important.
It’s not right to isolate your kids from the world.
Children will be kind and sweet if we lead by example and teach them.
Child-like faith is magical.
Wild things need to be free.
If you look over them, they’ll look after you.
Children are born unbiased to color/race/anything else.
Letting go of things is never easy, change is hard.
Saying goodbye is difficult.
Making a decision in anger will lead to mistakes.
There’s no future in being angry.
