The farthest road
I have always liked some beautiful movies, such as "Shawshank's Redemption", such as "Angels Love Beauty", and another example, "Ambition of the Earth" that I am going to talk about now.
I saw "Ambition of the Earth" on TV by chance. I can sit down and watch it because I am a Tom Cruise fan. This is a film based on the era of the Western Development of the United States. It tells the story of a tenant farmer named Joseph who remembers his father's will "Land is the soul of a man" and struggles unremittingly in order to obtain a piece of his own land.
Nowadays, in this materialistic and money-oriented society, when it comes to beauty, people are somewhat scornful and disdainful. They can't help but think of the words of the neighbor's little sister: "Please, you still treat me as a kid." "People who grow up will be like this, so-called telling beautiful things are used as a pastime, rather than as a kind of belief.
I know, I am no exception.
As a college student, even if I have not yet fully stepped into this society, I know that life is far less simple than I once imagined. I remember that when I first came to university, I was full of confidence and ambitious. In a blink of an eye, I was in my sophomore year, seeing as my junior year, most of my good hopes at the time were lost, and I became no longer blatant.
I have always dreamed of being a child enough to make my parents proud. I have always thought that as long as I work hard, I can do it. But every time I try my best, I still find that there is still a gap between reality and dreams. When reality and dream collide, I have been lost, helpless, and even crying. And even if it is crying, it is secretly crying in the bed at night, not daring to cry, then I will miss my childhood when I cried loudly.
Finally, when I was smashed to the head, I was silent, no longer as ostentatious as before. I don't know, where was my self-confident self at the beginning, but I just know that I am far from being brave at the time. Become lazy, become depressed.
She likes the heroine Shannon, she's pungent, domineering, and she doesn't care about anything proud. When faced with the threat of poverty and downfall, she always insisted on her self-esteem, and she was still proud. Like Nicole's messy hair, she raised her head proudly, and said to the supervisor disdainfully: "Then you deduct Friday's salary, you stupid little boy." At this moment, she suddenly felt that this woman was So beautiful, the shabby clothes on her body will not conceal her light in the slightest. Such a woman is confident, strong, eye-catching, and charming.
I thought of me, I was so confident once.
The process of acquiring land is difficult, especially for a tenant farmer who has nothing. Joseph also gave up and was depressed, but when he saw the Western Trail Blazers team, he instantly thought of his father's will and his own dreams. Everyone likes a happy ending. Our protagonist finally gets his own land and lives with his beloved forever. Endless wilderness, gurgling streams, everything is just like the original dream.
When everything was over, I suddenly found that the ending of the movie was more attractive without the struggle. Maybe life is like this, everything really won't be like in the movie, as long as you work hard, everything will come true, but the process of struggle is really moving.
If a person does not pay for his dream, then the chance of his dream realizing is zero, and if he works hard, the chance of success is 50%. Fifty and zero, the wise will choose fifty. Perhaps the opportunity cost of fifty will be great, but the feeling it gives to oneself is also meaningful.
So if everything is thought of this way, then the bloodshed that I have experienced is also a precious gift given to me by my growth.
Growth is really a difficult process, it is the longest way. It's bumpy, it's twists and turns, maybe it's full of temptation on both sides of the road. But in any case, this is a path that everyone must walk toward maturity. Just like the English name of "Earth Ambition", "Far and Away", although the journey is far away, we must set off. Only in this way can we have a chance to reach tomorrow.
When I reach the end, when everything is settled, I will be mature. At that time, I should be confident and unassuming. I will not be full of countless dreams in life, nor will I lose my dreams in life.
Everything is fine.
I hope I can shout like Joseph at the end of the film: "Sorry, I went in the wrong direction. My destination is my land."
I hope I can...I hope it is...now...
