North Shore

Synopsis

Before entering art school, Rick Kane sets out to surf the big wave season on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, after winning a surfing contest in an Arizona wave pool by his home.

Once in Hawaii, he immediately finds out that he knows nothing about the local habits, customs, or pecking order which cause him some starting problems. After being robbed by the local surf gang, he has a chance meeting with famous surfboard shaper Chandler, and after figuring out they have an artistic connection, Chandler offers Rick a place to sleep and something to eat.

Chandler teaches him how to "read" the big waves and the difference between 'soul surfers' and those who surf for fame and money. He also manages to get the attention of a beautiful young native, which further stirs the pot with the "locals" but in the end gives him the courage and determination to take what he has learned from Chandler and surf the big waves like he had dreamed he could.

6/10

On the other hand, some of the background instrumental pieces in the soundtrack lack depth and fail to evoke the emotional journey and growth that Rick undergoes throughout the movie. A more nuanced and emotionally resonant score could have added a layer of complexity to the storytelling and enhanced the overall viewing experience.

James Evans

The emotional depth of the soundtrack reflects the personal journey of the main character, Rick Kane, as he learns about the local customs and gains the courage to surf the big waves. The music perfectly conveys the sense of growth, determination, and triumph that Rick experiences throughout his time on the North Shore, making it a truly inspiring and uplifting musical accompaniment to his story.

2/10

The musical choices in North Shore often feel out of place and disjointed, disrupting the flow of the film rather than enhancing the surfing scenes. The soundtrack fails to create a cohesive atmosphere that complements the breathtaking visuals of the big waves and the challenges faced by the protagonist.

The use of traditional Hawaiian music in the soundtrack adds an authentic and cultural touch to the film, immersing the viewers in the rich heritage of the island. The blending of contemporary surf rock with traditional sounds creates a unique and memorable listening experience that complements the stunning visuals of the film.
