The film was directed and starred by Chiwetel Ejiofor. This film is an orthodox film about learning and technology changing fate. A poor village in Africa, a young boy who is good at learning relies on his own knowledge and existing The material produced a wind power generation device, which brought hope for the whole village to survive the famine in the dry season. The plot development of this film is not tortuous, but while emphasizing technology and learning, this film combines the turbulence and survival of the entire African political situation. The harsh environment has also been fully described. It is not difficult to learn and create. However, under the current situation of hunger and cold, and in the event of political turmoil, it is indeed rare to have the courage and confidence to rely on technology and knowledge to change one's life. Some netizens criticized whether it is realistic to rely on the DC generator that comes with the bicycle to generate electricity. In theory, the DC generator that comes with the bicycle is suitable for low-speed, short-term power generation occasions. In the state of high-speed continuous operation, the first problem is that the temperature of the generator coil is too high, and the generator is burned. On the other hand, even if there is no problem with the power supply, the power problem of the small water pump in the chip is an obvious BUG, ​​so small It is unknown how much the actual irrigation capacity of the water flow is, so after analyzing this, you can understand the true meaning of the film. Maybe it is not the pumping capacity of this small water pump that made the whole village survive the drought and famine, but this small water pump The miracle brought about was enough to rekindle new hope in this famine-era village. This small DC generator theoretically could not have the potential to irrigate a village, but when the windmills began to rotate under the drive of the wind , when the trickle began to flow under the action of the water pump, the hope that was enough to irrigate the entire village began to flow into every household in the village. When people regained their trust in knowledge and technology, and began to learn and further their studies, then the whole village The drought in outdated ideas, the drought in technology, and the drought in education will start to receive irrigation because of this technology-driven water pump. Maybe this is the true meaning of the so-called wind-riding boy, God is like the wind, Touch everything, ride the wind, and everything can become a great way!

Warm winds mixed with drought,

The famine villages are filled with desolation,

Survive in turbulent times,

Survive in primitive villages,

When poverty and ignorance pervade these disciples,

can light the way of light,

Only the power that comes from knowledge!

    The use of light and sound is perfect. In the cluttered garbage dump, the stereo brings out flies buzzing past my ears. In the cramped "meeting room", the light reflects the dust in the air so that there is nowhere to hide. The beautiful hope and the real pain accompany you, and the cruel beauty of the environment can be seen at a glance. The truth never needs to be deliberately provocative. One eye-catching detail is worth mentioning: the boy looks at the mourner on another high slope in the distance, who is also staring at the earth in front of him. A meaningful juxtaposition. However, all of these are nothing compared to the change of perspective - the film's most important focus is on backward areas and poor groups. The best black movies must be made by directors who can understand the fate of black people best.

    Since then, I have added another "Malawi" to the production country label of my viewing records. —— Watching the movie directly without being spoiled gave me an unexpected and wonderful look and feel. Looking at the title, looking at the poster, and even watching the plot foreshadowing at the beginning of the film (thinking that it was just focusing on the difficult life of their family), I didn't expect it: this is actually a very inspirational story of "science improving life". ——God is as the wind, which touches everything.
