The movie tells the story of a young man in a coal mining area who became fascinated by space because he witnessed a Soviet satellite going up into the sky, and changed his fate through a homemade rocket. In the end, the protagonist who was going to be a coal miner got rid of the shackles of generations of fate and became a NASA worker. engineer. There are many such stories. In the distance, Xiang Yu saw Qin Shihuang's motorcade from afar, and made a great wish that "he can be replaced". More recently, Ieoh Ming Pei was in Shanghai in the 1930s, looking up at the international hotel designed by Hudak, which was still under construction, and revered spontaneously, and decided to take the architect as his lifelong career. Who hasn't been aroused with great pride when they were young, but how many people can bear failure, criticism and loneliness like the protagonist in the film, and carry out their dreams to the end? Speaking of the movie, although the story takes place in the 1950s, it is a very typical 90s movie. I especially like American movies from the 1990s. The greatest movies in my mind: "Forrest Gump", "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", "Titanic", "The Matrix", "Lord of the Rings" series are either born directly, or conceived from this era. At that time, the United States had just won the victory of the Cold War, and the whole country was filled with a self-confidence, calm and heroic temperament. In the entire human history, probably only the early Roman period and the prosperous Tang Dynasty before the Anshi Rebellion could have this kind of spirit. This spiritual outlook is reflected in the films such as "Forrest Gump", "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", including this "October Sky". I firmly believe in the superiority of the American system, the possibility of the American dream, and the values of universalism, all of which are closely related to your story of the destiny of mankind, the endless distances and the endless people are related to me, all impassionedly tell the story of being human , should have responsibility and responsibility, glory and dream. And now, apart from Spielberg, Mel Gibson, and Eastwood, how many people have such faith and pride? The more the film is made, the more sad it is. Films like "Blood Battle Hacksaw Ridge" will no longer be seen. Everyone thinks that it is old-fashioned and outdated in terms of subject matter and techniques. Most people are exhausted by political correctness, as if The protagonists of the film are not black people and women. If they do not reflect the oppression of ethnic minorities and the trampling of women by male power, it means that they are enemies of the times. The glories and dreams of classicism become childish in the face of these bizarre issues, and with them drift away, the kind of good times in the movies of the 90s.
