Love & Sacrifices

How to train your dragon is recently airing in the cinema. 

I managed to spent my time to go and watch it. 

I enjoyed it a lot.

Overall the movie, story line, graphics, and audio are just wonderful.

What I like most is the story line that connects both first episode and second one. One of it is the relationship of the main character, Hiccup, and his dad, Hoist. I can relate very much about their relationship with me and my dad.

Hiccup has never been what the father wishes him to be, where his father's expectation was different from what he wants. He tries to find ways to actually make his father proud, but most of the time he fails to do so. I myself feel the same way too. When finally I try something that I think that "this could make my father happy/proud" it always turn out the other way round.

Hiccup struggles his way through and finally met with toothless.  He brought toothless to meet with his dad and tried convincing him to accept. Soon after that, he was able to convince his dad as well as the whole village that dragons brings no harm.

This part of the movie inspired me despite facing tough and challenging difficulties, we have to always stay positive and think positive and try our best to find a solution to it. Of course, when faced with problem we can always seek help from others and ask with a polite manner. Positive is the key to success. In my university life I faced with numerous failures in my studies, but I still stayed positive and keep the negative thoughts away from me.

And in the second episode, Hiccup with his stubbornness trying to do something to make his father proud and adventuring alone, end up causing his father to be attacked and died. Although at the end he became a hero and chief to his village, he still lost his father.

We should be aware that each and everything has a limit to it. We must control ourselves to not go over the limit. It will only cause trouble or problems will arise. Avoiding these problems will be the best solution, but if faced with it, we must use the correct method to solve it.

This part of the movie inspired me that a father's love for his child/children is uncountable to the extend that they are willing to sacrifice for them. Unconditional love is shown here. Maybe a father's way of showing his love to the child may be indirect, but deep down there is always a caring and loving heart.

My father has the exact characteristic as Hoist. He has rules and discipline values towards his children but also with a very caring and loving heart.

This let me to think for a moment, maybe it doesn't only happens to me, maybe many dads in the world are the same. But ultimately, a father has unconditional love for his child/children.
