The sky in October is unusual and wonderful

Thanks to Hollywood, I was moved again. "October Sky" allows you to experience the wonder of having a dream again at an age when it was not easy to dream. Recalling the news that SpaceX successfully achieved maritime recovery that I saw not long ago, I couldn't help but associate the rocket boy in the film with Elon Musk, the same persistent pursuit of dreams and the same obsession with rockets. emission. Times are different, but the spirit continues.

I don't want to talk about the big perspective of education, and I don't want to compare the differences between China and the United States. Presumably this kind of plot has been discussed too much in China. The reason why classic movies are classics is that they tend to pay more attention to human nature under the complex of humanistic care. And this movie gave me a sense of humanity, far better than the average commercial blockbuster.

The heroes around every child are actually their parents.
This is not to say genetic determinism, but the behavior of parents will be recorded in the children's eyes, and accompanied by their growth. The father of the protagonist Homer Hickam is the head of the family and the head of a mine. A stubborn man, he is like a hard-working farmer who guards one-third of an acre of land for generations. The achievements you have gained along the way can be touched. However, it was the dreaming age of Homer Hickam who had his own pursuit. The stars filled the sky, and the first artificial satellite that flashed like a shooting star quietly sowed a seed for making rockets in his heart. . In this regard, his father was naturally extremely dissatisfied. The unknown future was tormenting his heart. He turned his love into gunpowder and burned everything around him. Fortunately, Homer Hickam has an understanding mother who supports her, best friends who share common interests, a discerning teacher, a simple and friendly worker, and all Coal who has been suspected and ridiculed but moved by Homer Hickam's persistent spirit. The townspeople of Wood, together with his relieved father, made his small, seemingly unreachable dream come true step by step.

Occupation does not distinguish between high and low, but everyone should have the right to choose their own destiny!
To realize the American Dream, the most important thing is not to limit the development of the individual and to respect the individual's independent will. This is a core element of America's ability to maintain one of the most advanced productive forces in the world. People in the world often say that if you want to succeed, you can get 70 percent of opportunities. The external environment is indeed very important, and it often affects the space for personal development. However, it is actually the persistence and courage that control the fate of the individual. Just like the protagonist, Always follow the direction of interest you choose, persevere in the life path you choose, not be afraid of unknown risks, and don't care about the criticism of others, then, in the end, you are your own master, and you are your own Bole!

    Thinking about Jules Verne's time, coal mining was still a super new industry, so much so that famous writers even wrote a lesser-known science fiction novel "Black India" to praise it. In the 1960s, in less than a hundred years, the coal mining industry Has been reduced to the bottom of the hopeless industry, according to this logic, the Japanese craftsmen who have been sticking to one thing for a lifetime in the generation of rapid evolution are not in a sense of eating the ancients and not changing? Fortunately, at the end of the film, when homer said u are my hero to the old man who guarded the coal forest, he could only let go of the script. It flattered the working public who silently devoted themselves to basic industries in the rust zone, and neither of them should be offended. In fact, whether it is writing scripts, doing science, or other things, balance is always the most difficult skill! Mine is your world not mine, and ultimately it comes down to the eternal Stars and Stripes proposition of personal freedom, which can be considered a relatively standard American theme.

    In my memory, this film was shown on the C8 channel during a lazy and slow summer afternoon during the high school days around 2006. I left its traces on the front page of a notebook and also in my heart. I have not forgotten it for more than ten years. In my younger age, it inspired me the height that a person can reach, the dreams that I can have, the constraints that I can break, and the cognition I can have. More than ten years later, he re-brushed for the label, and at the same time played a similar encouraging role with "Dream Pursuing the Heart of a Child". There is still a gap between the film’s rhythm, depth, and other constructions compared to "The Shawshank’s Redemption", and the editing is a little bit behind. Jack Gyllenhaal has made Chris Cooper’s work more than eighty or nine points. Shermanator left the American school. Later, in "The Mist" and this film, I was pleasantly surprised (correcting prejudices). The town of Coalwood simply reproduced my growing environment (in terms of attributes), and Homer also had many positive references to his father’s attitude. What it does...Thank you, everyone, and thank you for the fast-moving star in the October sky.
