We have seen many movies that take us through the ups and downs of an athlete, yet we always seem to want more of them because they inspire us to be the best version of ourselves. Even though the stories may be pretty formulaic the scenes and the dialogues fill us with the motivation to do something; to become something greater than ourselves. Safety is another such movie that revolves around the themes of sports and the will to move on despite several setbacks.
Safety is a true story of the former Clemson University safety Ray McElrathbey. He was forced to take care of his younger brother and bring him to his room on campus because of an unforeseen predicament that happened to his family.
Surviving college can be hard as it is but having to juggle sports, taking care of your younger brother at such a tender age can be even tougher, and Disney’s Safety is a story of this indomitable will to survive and provide for your loved one’s in times of difficulty.
The life of an athlete is never easy, especially as an amateur who is trying to make it into the big leagues. It takes a lot of sacrifice, patience and determination but above all the will to overcome any obstacle that stands in your way.
A true man will take care of his family no matter the situation and Ray McElrathbey did just that when things came tumbling down. Safety celebrates the essence of that primal will to succeed and achieve despite all odds, but more importantly, it sets a shining example for the younger generation.
