real and rich

A movie based on a true story is often a good one, and this one was too. I watched it quietly with my sister on a cloudy afternoon today, tears welling up in my eyes.

Every character in the movie is very rich and three-dimensional. The conflict and deep love between the father and the son are gradually unfolding layer by layer. A mother's strong support and love for her son. Although there is competition between brothers, in the face of common family difficulties, both want to contribute. The friendship between the four friends is youthful and moving. The teachings of a good teacher and the encouragement that her illness brought to Hormer. Principal and whole community support. At the same time, the fate of the entire mining area is connected in series, under the background of the backward national rocket launch. The whole movie is very layered and rich in content, combined with the ending of each person in the end of the real story, such a life story can always move me.

At the same time, the recombination of the October sky letters is also very clever with small details such as Rocket boy.

    A high school classmate fell in love with this movie, and after watching it, he chased us Amway Jake Gyllenhaal every day. I can think of today when I was dismissive at first.

October Sky quotes

  • O'Dell: Besides, didn't your dad say no more rockets?

    Homer: No, he said no more rockets on company property.

    O'Dell: Do you realize how far we'd have to go to be off company property?

    Homer: Yeah, we'd have to go to Snakeroot.

    Quentin: Snakeroot? That's eight miles!

    Homer: It's not *that* far. I mean we could walk if we had to...

    O'Dell: Hey, walk! Heh! That's a great idea!

    Homer: Come on let's go!

    Roy Lee: Wait the hell up, will you Homer? Now I got about as much chance of winning that science fair as you do winning a football scholarship. I know I'm gonna be a miner. I've known my entire life. What the hell's so bad about mining coal anyway?

    Homer: Nothing Roy Lee. It's great. That's why your stepdaddy is the biggest drunk in West Virginia! I mean, come on guys! You know the mine'll kill you!

    [to Quentin]

    Homer: You ever hear the story about how O'Dell's dad died?

    Roy Lee: Homer... will you forget it, man?

    O'Dell: Shut up, Homer.

    Homer: Piece of slate caught him right in the neck... and it cut his head clear off.

    O'Dell: [tackles Homer] You son of a bitch!

  • Homer: [gunshot in background] Hey Quentin!

    [another gunshot]

    Homer: That rocket had to have gone up at least 100 feet didn't it?

    Quentin: More like two hundred.

    [another gunshot]

    Homer: Goddammit.

    Homer: [another gunshot] Will you cut it out, Roy Lee?

    Roy Lee: Die you son of a bitch!
