The Guardian
the movie, The Guardian. don't know how many of you guys watched it, or don't even know when was it showed. lol. but I managed to catch that show on DVD yesterday, since it was supposed to be a study week, and man was I blown away and touched by that show.
since the movie is technically over, guess it shouldn’t hurt for me to spoil the show here. here's a brief summary of that show.
there's this Senior Captain Randall who was working in the U.S. Coast Guard. he had a tremendous experience and history in his worklife, such as setting all the records in his training school, saving people out there in the violent seas and being a mark of inspiration. rumors have even gone around that the number of people whom he saved were about 200, or 300. but once, he was posted by his supervisor to teach in a "A" school, where they train up potential U.S. coast guard recruits. it was either to take up this option, or to go home.
at the "A" school, he came across a dude named Fischer who was quite notorious compared to the other recruits. such as on the 1st day, he asked the question, "the person who set all the records, is he still alive? cause I intend to break all of them?" Randall was of course displeased with Fischer, and thought Fischer was trying to show off and have attitude problem and stuff, hence not having a good first impression.
however as time went by, Randall actually started to realize that Fischer was very much like himself, just younger. Fischer was gifted, hard-working, and a cream of the crop. so was Randall. Fischer had lost a couple of teammates back in high school, while Randall had also recently lost a couple of teammates on one of their rescue missions, both of whom are beating themselves for their failure to save them. so as time went by, both of them got to have a heart-to-heart talk and got to know about each other better, and hence became very close, even after the day Fischer graduated from "A" school, and Randall finished his task of teaching this cohort.
not long after that, the both of them were deployed on a rescue mission. Randall had failed in his mission as he was once again traumatized by the recent accident, and Fischer was the one who made the mission a success. and not long after, Randall decided to resign from the job, as he knew he will not get over the accident, and will affect his future rescue missions. around this time, Fischer asked Randall what was the real number of victims he saved. Randall replied, “22… 22 is the number of people I lost. it’s the only number I keep track of.”
so on the next rescue mission, Fischer and his team was deployed, without Randall. by then, Fischer had possessed a very positive and awesome trait of Randall, that is that he will never let go of those he can save. Fischer went down to the boat, rescued 3 souls who were on the top deck, and went down inside the boat to attempt to rescue the captain who got trapped. however, the helicopter had to fly back to the headquarters because of lack of fuel. Randall, who happened to still be in the Coast Guard Headquarters, was deployed to go on the next helicopter to go fetch Fischer.
Randall went down, and got Fischer out on to the top deck, and Randall and Fischer were on the way up to the helicopter. unfortunately, the rope couldn’t take the weight of 2 coast guard officers, and Randall decided to loose himself. however, Fischer still tried to hold on to Randall even though it was by his fingers, and told Randall that he will never let go. Randall said, “I know”, but he let go of himself instead, and fell into the violent seas, and was never seen re-surfacing. by the time Fischer got into the helicopter, just nice the rope snapped, the one and only tool the helicopter is equiped with. needless to say, Fischer was very emotional about Randall falling back down, but another team mate had to calm him down, saying he had already lost one, he cannot lose two.
since then, there were rumors that Randall had swam to an island to do some fishing, something he has wanted to do since some time ago. and there were rumors, or probably a legend, that he was still swimming in the waters, and saving people who needed a miracle out in the sea. and there was an incident, when Fischer saved a drowning person.
Fischer: are you the only one down there? is there any one else with you?
Person: yes, yes, there’s one more.
Fischer: where is he? I didn’t see anyone else.
Person: he’s there in the waters. he was holding on to me, and he said he will never let go until help comes.
and Fischer looked down into the waters.
okay. I know I hardly talk about christian stuff even though I believe in it. my blogs are often about how my day has been, or whatever complains of whoever. but as I watched the movie, guess what I saw. I was touched by this movie at the part about never letting go. it reminded me so much of God.
‘cause sometimes, our lives are really like on violent seas, and it is during these times when our boats are helplessly being thrown around by the waves, capsizing and sinking, we need a miracle. the U.S. Coast Guard has limited power, limited ability to save the victims, only saving those they can and have to let the sea take the rest of them. but unlike the U.S. Coast Guard, we have a Guardian who is very able, and very willing to save us all. and even if someone needs to go into the waters so that the other may be saved, it will not be us, but Him, as demonstrated on the cross. not one of us will he let the devil take. and the best part… HE NEVER LETS GO.
