The story describes the little boy who wanted to escape from his family at the very beginning to return to his family. Perhaps the transition started from that journey.
The incomprehension of the teachers in the school, the feeling of real parents’ love, the guilt for the death of his younger brother, and the inability to grow into an excellent cowboy as his father expected made him want to find a new world, a world that recognizes him. . But in the end, a journey from the country to DC made him feel the warmth of family. Looking at my mother's diary, I found a side that my mother did not show-thinking about the children's family. After a short escape, he also began to hope that he was just the little boy who was woken up in the bedroom at home.
The ancients said that when parents are not far away, they must travel well.
Many times we start to fantasize about a walk-and-go trip, thinking that as long as we embark on the journey, all the constraints will be released and all the troubles will stay in place, but it is not the case. On the contrary, the meaning of travel may be a return, a return from a different perspective.
ps: I feel that the title is a bit weak, making me think it is a science fiction movie
