The film "October Sky" is a film based on a real story. The script is very complete and basically written in strict accordance with Snyder's rhythm table. The opening of the film creates a historical background and social atmosphere. During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's first A successful launch of an artificial satellite has a huge impact on American society, so the style tone of the film is determined at the beginning.
Then the theme of the film was revealed - the male protagonist homer wanted to build a rocket, and then he told the audience about the dilemma and resistance of the protagonist in realizing his dream, but he still wanted to build a rocket, and encountered a lot of obstacles and difficulties in the middle. , The male protagonist once gave up his dream of building a rocket, but finally started to struggle again with the encouragement of his parents and teachers. After that, people in the whole town basically helped them, and finally their dream came true. .
I want to focus on the B-story of this film. In this kind of film based on real events, A-story is basically a household name, so the B-story is particularly important. The biggest difficulty that the male protagonist faces in the process of realizing his dream is his father's opposition. His father thinks this dream is unrealistic and very absurd. This is the B-story of this film, which is the emotional entanglement between father and son. After the father was injured, he slowly understood his son's enthusiasm. This is also what moved me most when I watched this film. The emotional development and changes between father and son, with twists and turns, support, delicate and touching, deceived my nose and tears. So much is written about the script. In short, this is a movie with a very standard script.
In fact, this is a very conventional story, there are not too many surprises, and there is no very deep theme to express. It is a story about a boy trying to grow into a rocket expert, but the story is very standard and smooth.
I would also like to remind Chinese directors, especially young directors, whose simple and plain stories can be very touching. Don’t blindly complain about the strict censorship and lack of standards, just like Mr. Gu Zhun’s dying instructions to Wu Jinglian: “Study hard, wait for a while. Be punctual, things will change one day, and when they change, you have to get something out!"
