Let me start by saying: Jake was too young when he was young! ! ! !
Even his father, John, is a man with strong will and perseverance. In the context of the times when everyone is mining, he cannot imagine the bold idea of "I want to build a rocket". So it's lucky that Homer had the idea to build a rocket at a time when he was still allowed to dream.
Merlin Town's national support, Miss Riley's encouragement, and his mother's silent help. Of course, Homer's success cannot be separated from the stubbornness that his father inherited from him, which is indeed the case. When you're sure of something, the roadblocks only make you stronger.
At first everyone thought that these rocket boys were just "playing". Unexpectedly, the capital of 16 or 17-year-old children's practice is as strong as the capital of dreams. With a little help and the mutual support and encouragement of the four people , really realized the dream of "getting out of the coal mine". The film uses a very simple lens to describe the friendship of the four people, which is very ordinary and very touching.
I didn't know until I saw the end that it was based on a true story. It is conceivable that under the circumstances at the time, it was only more difficult for homer to build a rocket than the movie showed, not less. With this, five stars!
