We fly like blackbirds through the orange groves,
floating on the warm wind.
When we run, we own the earth.

We speak the birds' language.
Not immigrants no more.
Not stupid Mexicans.
When we run, our spirits fly. We speak to the gods.
When we run, we are the gods.

    Whenever the movie is about to end, I always put a few words in my mind, but when Danny exerts his strength, his blood spurts and he is speechless. The "American Dream" was realized in the place where the dream was most unlikely to be realized; the whole film gave me the feeling that it was like the second before the whistle blowing. It was necessary to exert force and keep it, and the director's control over emotions Just like the control of power in cross-country racing, it is just right.
