What is a dream?
Small-town American youth, stubborn, kind, and pure. In the vast world, freedom. Riding a horse is something he has known since childhood, and it is also a proud honor.
Life is as simple as a family and a horse. Dreams have a price and health.
I think of Alex from Free Solo. Equally pure, stubborn, addicted. It is also a high-risk, high-cost dream.
The two have similarities. Brady lost his mother and Alex lost his father. Losing a loved one makes them understand the emptiness of life and the meaning of dreams.
When you go after one thing desperately, most of the time you will succeed. Other times you will perish.
In the end, Brady didn't risk his life, and Alex decided to take the risk without hesitation. I think the biggest difference is that the company of Brady's family makes him feel the dull but precious warmth of life. And Alex has always been alone, and there is nothing in the world worth lingering on.
Be or die.
Who I am is more important than what I do.
Brady is lucky to have loved ones who love him and understand him. So death is not his only journey, his family is a compromise he can convince himself.
Another standout role is Lane Scott. Exchange the paralysis of the rest of your life for the dazzling moments of your dreams. Burn all your life.
What is the meaning of life, I think everyone has made a choice. Cynic, intense, dream-seeking, and family-returning.
In my life, I also hope that before cynicism, there will be glory and struggle.
Fight against ordinary life, fight against the secular, fight against all conventions, fight against everything.
I know, in my heart, I have always been a hero. Never give up.
In this life, I live only for myself.
To all the rebels: be or die.
May God's glory always shine with you.
