The movie is adapted from real events and the prototype is the first child Homer Hickam. Later Homer became an aerospace technician (training astronauts) for NASA. The film mainly tells the story of a boy who insists on his dreams and fights for it. Tell the truth , this film is very "routine", but I was really touched, perhaps because his dreams also had shadows of our childhood dreams, or maybe because his situation when chasing dreams was so similar to ours when we wrote essays when we were young , I believe many people have written about being a scientist, about flying a plane, about riding a rocket, and about going to the moon. Those big dreams in small heads are so innocent but so pure. It's absurd to think of those innocent thoughts when you grow up. But it was full of helplessness because we were so stubborn that we believed that we could do something great. We thought that we could change the world, and then we found that it would be difficult not to be changed by the world. At that time, we had dreams, about literature, about love, and about crossing the world. Travel Today, when we meet drinking cups in the middle of the night, the sound of a broken dream is circulating on the Internet. A netizen applied for QQ forgot password more than ten years ago. When complaining about it, the question is what is your dream? He forgot the answer long ago, he filled in one at random, the money turned out to be the wrong answer, then he filled in love, car, house, job, and it turned out to be all wrong It turned out that what he lost was not the password, but the original dream, which is what we adore. What we're missing I hope you can occasionally look up at the starry sky when you are compromising with the darkness. Even if the dream will never come true, don't give up thinking about it, because it is probably the most beautiful poem we have written to ourselves in this life.
