Hero is a movie about the importance of fathers and the impact that fathers have on their sons who do look up to them. Joe Finn, a baseball coach, returns home after being away for 7 years in pursuit of his career as a scout for the big leagues, hoping to get rich. He only gets to spend 2 weeks with his wife, Hannah, who has cancer before she dies. He is left with his son, David, who holds a grudge against him. One thing they share is their love for baseball. Joe hopes to mend his relationship with David by offering to coach David's dying, non-competitive little league team, the Gappers. Joe decides to form a new baseball league that practices diligently, plays competitively, and aims to reconnect fathers and sons in the community.
I cried during the movie. My father was absent from most of my life. I forgave him and had a chance to be at his death bed (even though he was unresponsive). It really touched me to see dads wanting to be there for their sons. A father can make a huge difference in his child's life. I'm so thankful that my husband is very involved with our two sons (and daughter). In the film, a prisoner cares enough to do everything he can to teach his son baseball even behind the prison's fence. Great cast! Check out this heart-warming, inspiring movie about the values of fatherhood, sports, forgiveness, restoration, and transformation! It will come to DVD on September 16th.
"And He shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers." Malachi 4:6 KJV
