Synopsis of Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the beginning of the film, the year is 1932. A young Sonora Webster lives with her sister Arnette and her mean Aunt Helen. Since the Great Depression is in full swing, money is scarce, and Sonora can only dream of a better life. She sees a magazine picture of a beautiful girl and yearns to be like her. She cuts off her long hair, and after a series of other incidents where Sonora and her Aunt butt heads, Aunt Helen sells Sonora’s horse and tells her she will be placed in an orphanage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonora’s gutsy resolve to be like the diving girls she has seen in magazines propels her to become a runaway orphan. She becomes infatuated with becoming a diving girl when she arrives at a county fair and sees the diving girl in action. In fact, she takes a menial job as a stable hand until she is old enough to be a diving girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventually, Sonora does become a diving girl, but in a cruel twist of fate she loses her eyesight. While Sonora learn to adjust to her new life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Parents Want to Know:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u200bLanguage: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There is one use of h-ll in this film. Otherwise, this is a very clean film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Violence:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u200bThere is verbal and physical abuse depicted in this film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, Sonora (in the film) is an orphan. She and her sister live with an aunt who clearly doesn’t know how to handle Sonora and doesn’t want her. Additionally, other children bully Sonora and make fun of her hair. In retaliation for the bullying, Sonora hits a girl. She is suspended for her actions. Later, she is slapped in the face. Furthermore, she is told she is a burden by her aunt. Finally, the aunt decides to turn Sonora over to be a ward of the State, and Sonora runs away.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, one man is very harsh with his adult son. He yells at him to “shut your gate.” Later, the father punches the son, knocking him into a fence. When the fence breaks, the son picks up a board and is going to hit his father with it. However, he before he hits him, he is stopped. The son ends up leaving home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u200bWhen Sonora is trying to learn to become a diving girl, she repeatedly tries to mount a horse while it is running. She falls off repeatedly. At one point, her nose is bleeding. In another scene, she dives, but the horse “trips,” and she is injured, leading to blindness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another female injures her shoulder when she is bucked off a horse and falls to the ground. She is in the house with a doctor, and outside, you can hear her screaming and crying. Later, you see the woman with her arm in a sling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bA couple kisses several times. The development of the relationship between Sonora and Al is slow and very sweet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Sonora goes to apply for a job as a diving girl, W.F. Carver says, “you go to have more” and the implication is a larger chest area. A diving girl takes off her clothes revealing her 1930’s bathing suit and a man watches her. His wife elbows him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deception:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is the biggest area of concern. Sonora lies to get a job. Later, Sonora catches a man hiding cards from people to win money. She covers for him. Additionally, a man throws out or burns daily letters addressed to someone else. When asked if any mail has come, he lies and says no. Later he regrets what he has done and tries to apologize for his actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Educational Value and Role Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
‘Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken’ transported me back to the Great Depression era. It painted a vivid picture of those tough times. Sonora Webster emerged as an emblem of determination. Her journey showcased the value of hard work and belief. She courageously faced each obstacle, teaching us the importance of not giving up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a Christian standpoint, Sonora’s story aligns with biblical teachings about enduring trials. Faith played a critical role in her success. Her story can teach one to hold onto hope, even when challenges seem insurmountable. As a young girl, Sonora, was determined to fulfill her dream. Furthermore, she is a role model for young and old alike. Her story encourages us to keep the faith, no matter how hard the path becomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reflections on the Great Depression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I watched Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken<\/em> and needed to know more about the real people. The scenes are packed with detail, showing the harsh realities of the Great Depression. The characters made me feel the desperation people faced. With each challenge Sonora encountered, her determination shone. It reminded me that, amidst adversity, belief remains a beacon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To teach your children about the Great Depression, compare facts with the movie’s scenes. Allow this film to spark deep conversations about faith’s role in overcoming life’s hurdles. These discussions can enrich your experience significantly. Additionally, many children living in the United States have more than enough and do not know poverty. One book that I like to show the differences in <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carnival Life and Moral Lessons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I found myself captivated by the portrayal of life within a traveling carnival. It was a world where every member depended on each other, mirroring a community bound by faith. Members faced adversities together, showing compassion and mutual support. These values echo Christian beliefs about community life. The carnival became more than a backdrop for Sonora’s journey; it was a lesson in unity and resilience. Struggles were faced head-on, serving as a testament to the strength found in togetherness. In witnessing their lives, I was reminded of the importance of supporting one another, a core Christian principle. This setting, rich with trials and triumphs, offered invaluable moral lessons about the power of community and faith during hardship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also reminds me of another great carnival film, The Greatest Showman. These types of movies enable you to teach your children life in other time periods within the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
