It's a moving piece, but it's not the moment when the protagonist wins the title. The film delicately describes the father-son relationship, which has always been difficult to get along with, and its resolution at the last moment. This reminds me of the movie big fish with the same theme.

As a son with the same problem, I deeply understand the pain of being rejected by my father. In fact, we all desire success, even if success is so far away.

Ouimet's winning the championship, I think you will think of the result at the beginning of the film, but the director just arranged for the father who sent the money. At that moment, Ouimet's father was conquered, and I was also deeply moved by another hidden theme of the film. deeply conquered.

The father-son relationship has never been easier to get along with than the mother-son relationship, and Ouimet's father is no exception. Although he strongly opposes his son's outrageous behavior, the father still has hope for his son, and gave Ouimet the first chance to participate in the competition. He also went to the scene to watch the game in person . But in the end, he unfortunately entered his pessimistic world, a society that his children could not go to. So he also closed the door to the impossible hope for his own son.

There is no parent in the world who doesn't want their children to stand out, but before that, they don't want their sons to suffer. Maybe we will blame Ouimet's father's ignorance and cowardice, but as a father, why doesn't he struggle with contradictions?

Due to the relationship of the times, as children, we more or less feel that our parents are pedantic and unenlightened, and even ridicule and ridicule our elderly parents to show our intelligence and ability. Growing up, even these are silently endured. In their eyes, there is nothing more important than the safe growth of children.

So we can understand what Ouimet's father silently said to his wife: "Will I hurt him, I just don't want him to fall badly in the future!"

It is true that anyone's success needs to pay a great price, But how many people can really succeed? As a father, you must understand this truth. In fact, in the minds of most parents, their children have a happy and safe family is their greatest wish in life.

When Ouimet suddenly received the dollar mentioned by his father in the crowd, I couldn't control myself, and tears burst out in an instant. The success shared by relatives is the real success. Ouimet's victory doesn't mean anything, but he did it. Convince your father, let your father believe in the fact that he will succeed.

I would like to extend that famous quote from Bill Gates to everyone:
"You must succeed before you can expect others to respect you" to "When you want to conquer the world, you must conquer your family, because they is your most loyal supporter
