A movie based on a true story is very well interpreted. It is really rare for a child from such an ordinary family to have a rocket dream and realize it. The growing environment in the United States is still worthy of praise.
The protagonist of the story, Homer, is not favored by his father at home. He does not have the strong physique of his brother, he cannot enter the football team, he cannot apply for a scholarship to go to college, and his only dream is to build a rocket, which is a dream that is easily laughed at. .
Without the experimental conditions, Homer and his group of friends worked hard to create, and also pulled in lonely math geniuses, and a four-person Rocket Boy team was established. They built the rocket launch observation house by themselves. In order to get the rocket launch materials, they dismantled the abandoned rails and sold them for steel. Countless experiments failed, but they did not give up. Every time they got new inspiration and kept improving.
Fortunately, their actions were supported by some open-minded adults, especially the uncle who helped him weld the rocket casing at the risk of being fired from his job, and taught him to weld steel, although he died in the mine in the end. Next, Homer felt very guilty, thinking that the uncle he killed caused his death by changing jobs. He took the job card number 723 that the uncle hung on the wall when he went down the well. When the first prize was awarded, he was still holding this uncle's work iron card.
However, the twist in the story is that his father initially opposed Homer's study of rockets, thinking it was unrealistic. Going to work in the mines is the real thing. If the son inherits his father's business, he doesn't have to work so hard. This also leads to the relationship between father and son. estrangement in the relationship. In the middle, a forest fire was caused by being mistaken for the wreckage of a falling rocket. Several rocket boys were arrested by the police, which directly led to their dreams being shattered. Later, Homer's father had an accident in the mine and his father was injured, so he had to give up the rocket dream and go to the mine. Working on behalf of his father, how happy and proud of his father was during that time, and how disappointed Homer's enlightenment teacher was, how much she supported and hoped that her students could dream and go to the end instead of giving up halfway. Also because of her constant encouragement and support, even though she later got cancer, Homer immediately ran to the teacher after hearing about it from her mother, and the teacher still did not give up her encouragement and support, which also rekindled Homer's rocket dream. Played a key role. In the movie, he was lying in bed and couldn't sleep. After thinking about it, he got up and took out the rocket instruction book given to him by the teacher from the drawer. He decided to clarify the forest fire incident caused by their rocket. In the middle of the night After work from the mine, he went to find his friend Kun Ting to do the math formula calculation, and finally successfully found the wreckage of the falling rocket, confirming that they did not cause a forest fire. Later, the principal asked Homer to go back to the school to study and helped them sign up for the science fair. He also overcame many difficulties in the middle. Especially when he was about to participate in the exhibition, he found that the samples had been stolen, so he had to call back. I asked for help to make new samples. At this time, my mother played a very important role. She went directly to the mining area to find her husband, and even gave up the cruel words that she would leave his son forever if he didn’t help his son. Of course, the father finally helped. busy.
The son is very grateful for everything, and knows that his father has actually helped him secretly. In his heart, his father is a real hero. He feels that he is very similar to his father, passionate about what he likes, as stubborn and strong. In the end, the father finally watched his son's rocket launch. After watching it, he was deeply proud of his son. Although he didn't say anything, when he stood side by side with his son, he stretched out one of his arms On the shoulders of their son, the two looked at each other, more than a thousand words.
As long as you persist and don't give up, no one can stop the realization of your dream, and there are no conditions to create conditions. Maybe the dream will be suspended due to difficulties, but you can still continue when you have the opportunity. It is not too late to dream, and you will always meet all kinds of supportive people. , There are still many good people. I am also grateful for so many supportive people in my life, because the little sunshine they give is enough to illuminate the difficult road in the future.
I prefer this kind of inspirational story, because it gives people good and hope.
