As a kid, I wanted to be just like Brink.
I rollerbladed often with my friends, but couldn't really do many cool tricks (some though). This was one of the many reasons I spent significant time outside.
Today, I watched Brink at my apartment because I took all of my movies back to PA and this was one of the only ones left. This past Halloween, I contemplated being Gabriella for Halloween in my Pup 'n Suds shirts but I figured no one would understand.
The idea behind Brink, the movie, is that Andy is defined by his ability to skate. He isn't quite sure who he is without skating. He doesn't realize that he is a good friend and a good son. His father points this out in a heartwarming moment they have in the garage. His dad tells him, "You are defined by the company you keep and how well you keep it. Not by what you just happen to do." Deep right? I know.
So what do we learn from this movie? Skating is fun and people are defined by their ability to make friends. Wait, that's what I was supposed to learn right?
