Blue Crush is a based on the Outside magazine article "Life's Swell" by Susan Orlean.It stars Kate Bosworth, Michelle Rodriguez, Sanoe Lake, and Mika Boorem.The film tells the story of three friends who have one passion: surfing on Hawaii's famed North Shore.John Stockwell directs.
Anne Marie, Eden and Lena are best friends. Anne Marie and her friends have been raising her 14-year-old sister, Penny. While Penny is at school,all friends work as maids at a large resort hotel.And most of all, they are surfers.
Anne Marie rises every morning before dawn to train for her surfing comeback. She was once considered a rising star in women's surfing but a near-drowning incident temporarily halted her career and left her with deep-seated fears. Her friends, especially Eden, have encouraged her to try it again.Then,Anne Marie has been invited to join in an upcoming surf competition at the famed North Shore surf spot, Pipeline.
While the film isn't pretentious as a guilty pleasure,it is amazing that the photography and editing do well to demonstrate the beauty of how it all looks while moving with a momentum that wraps us up in the physical drama.And also,it was made to inspire the young people in whatever endeavors they want to pursue.
