It's a good inspirational film

The film is smooth as a whole, and the storyline unfolds well. A few small details are very realistic, such as the family sharing food at the table, the classroom for class and so on. In a big way, films with triple backgrounds - the Cold War, the town and the male protagonist's family, gather on Homer, but the clues of dreams, friends, teachers, and family unfold in turn. Based on the true story and the changes in the character's autobiography, the overall plot is still very touching, but I can't help but sigh how many people look up at the sky and find their lifelong pursuits like Homer.
