Watching this movie in China will be more critical of reality and there will be a lot of reflection. But the dream should be so simple, the process of pursuing it is very bitter and difficult, but it should never be boring. Homer is lucky because he has the support of his friends, the persistence of his teachers, the help of the residents of the town, but it is even more because of his own persistence. His hard work, his unwillingness to give up, he has won the help and support of the people, and he has explored all kinds of possibilities.
If you want to write a critical comment, or a comment about not giving up, you can write a lot. But I stubbornly believe that the true story in the movie is simple, beautiful, and interesting. It is the exploration and realization of a boy's dream.
If teachers want to use this film to encourage students to "don't give up", it is better to use this film to tell students that dreams are colorful, dreams are not boring at all, dreams are worth striving for, dreams should not have boundaries, dreams themselves are pure ,simple. Whether it’s a rocket, a space shuttle, or any other science, as long as you have a dream, you should try it. In the face of various setbacks and practical obstacles, I tried all the methods and still couldn't achieve it, at least I tried it. The end result may be that, like Homer, he did went to space, maybe there is an insurance company like his friend or in the chemical industry or car broker. It is possible to get what you want most, or not, but the lives of these rocket boys have completely changed. They have walked out of the destiny of their parents. They have walked out of their lives. They have not achieved the same level of Homer, but they have already jumped out. The fate of the miners. This is a dream. It does not necessarily take you to the place you want, but it can take you to a higher place, allowing you to see more possibilities and more beautiful scenery.
So, don't just give up pursuing your dreams just because of the possible unsuccess. Such a dream can hardly be called a "dream". Pursue your dreams, although the ending is unknown.
The thought of fearing the consequences of pursuit should not belong to any young heart.
