Did you ever wish the movie “Point Break” ended differently ?
This one is for the late great Patrick Swayze,and the current great Little Patrick, which is the little head on the left.
Let’s take it right from the point where Keanu has Patrick Swayze handcuffed. Patrick was urging Keanu to set him free so that instead of being caged, he could catch that once in a life time wave and die with dignity. Keanu for a moment, recalled a Morgan Freeman movie where he said, “ Some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright “.
He realized then, that if ever a saying was relevant, it would be right here with Swayze, the man who lives, breathes and thrives in nature. So Keanu lets him go and Swayze starts walking towards the wave that would inevitably take his life. While walking towards his end, he gets hit with an epiphany that will turn this whole thing around for him. Swayze asks Keanu, please hear me out. Patrick says with passion, we all the know the term “ Surf and Turf”. As at matter a fact, Keanu said i just had that for dinner last night. Well Keanu, how about I create “ The Surf and Work Program “? So at least if you want to be a professional surfer, you will also have to learn a sense of responsibility. Kind of like the Co-op Program at Northeastern University. You go to school there for a year, and then you work for a semester, and so on and so on. This way when you graduate, you already have some work experience.
This was groundbreaking thinking that changed the face of surfing forever. This was finally a way for surfers to purse their true passion, and not have to create mischief to make a living.
Surfing was no longer about “ Dude, lets catch some waves “, It was now, ” Lets do some work, so we can surf later.” Patrick Swayzes surfing program (Surf & Work), became such a hit, that now Patrick has to teach thousands and thousands of newcomers, how to balance on a surfboard in the water.
One day a very famous Director named Emile Ardolino from Hollywood came to take surfing lessons. He was so impressed with the way Patrick Swayze moved his body to deal with all the waves, that he asked Patrick if he would be interested in trying out for a New Movie. Patrick said “100 percent yes”. So Patrick tried out for Emile Ardolino’s new movie “Dirty Dancing”. In an instant he got the part. He was a natural after all the bobbing and weaving over his years of being a surfer. Patrick accepted the offer as long as that the Producers would hire Kate Bosworth, from “Blue Crush” could be his dance partner in the new movie. The director agreed. Patrick officially turned a very negative start, into a full happy life. A major life lesson was learned here.
The End. Movie still would have been great.
