This past week I went to the movie Rescue Dawn and I would like to recommend it to everyone. It is in limited release, so if you want to wait until its on video, I will permit it. But if you're currently going through any life struggles, I'd say see it as soon as possible.
The movie is based on the real-life events of a man (Dieter Dengler) who was shot down over Laos in 1966 and subsequently held in a prison camp. The way he approaches this problem is really inspiring. Chances are that I will never be in a life or death situation where I am forced to use my ingenuity to find a way to escape, but if I was, I hope I would be like Dangler. And its very easy to see how the qualities of determination, craftiness, leadership, and just a will to survive, can transform any challenge into an opportunity to succeed.
Watching this movie inspired me to see problems not as situations to endure, but as prisons from which you can escape. You figure out how to fix things, you make a detailed plan, and then you keep trying until you're out. So what I'm saying is, go see Rescue Dawn.
