Little people big dreams

When Independence Day 2 was released, I stopped by to watch Independence Day 1.
For me, the most touching moment was the moment when my dad who was drunk and doing nothing all day chose to use himself as a bomb and go die for his big dream. I think this moment has nothing to do with ego, just a belief.
The plot is very simple. It tells the story of aliens conquering the earth, and the human beings led by the United States choose to unite and win the battle together. But the simple plot can't cover up the full emotional line inside, the great love of the president and his wife, the captain and his fiancee, the support of David and his ex-wife, the trust between father and son, and the inseparability of people and animals. There are too many, which is really attractive to me who is not very strict with the plot requirements.

Independence Day quotes

  • Gen. Gray: Mr. President, I'd sure like to know what you're doing.

    President Thomas Whitmore: I'm a combat pilot, Will. I belong in the air.

  • [the President briefs the pilots before the final attack]

    President Thomas Whitmore: Good morning.

    [PA doesn't work. Turns it on]

    President Thomas Whitmore: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
