Dream vs Reality

"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." This phrase appears repeatedly in the movie. This is a typical road movie, and if the main character is not my favorite Joshua Jackson, I would never watch this type of movie. The movie begins with Ben's diagnosis of cancer, to when he uses it as an opportunity to find his true self. The whole movie is not as thrilling as a Hollywood movie, but is slowly told against the backdrop of Canada's natural scenery. The message of the film to the audience. What is impressive is that Ben's talents that were cultivated from an early age will shine, but because of some accidental factors, they were buried. Fortunately, at the end of the movie, we can finally see his dream finally come true, and his book finally Published, people can not help but gratified. There are many possibilities in our life, among these possibilities, maybe as long as there are some small sparkles, our life will be very different, but in the end they fail to become reality due to various man-made or force majeure factors, don't they? Does this doom us to be content with the ordinary? Never yield and surmount them. If we can take this as our life belief, can we find the Grump that belongs to us like Ben did? Dream and reality, I don't know if it is because I have reviewed too much politics recently, I see a category relationship of philosophy that has been repeated in the mind of these two words - possibility and reality. Our dreams are possible, it may seem a little elusive in our eyes, but with some catalysts, it will become a reality. We just need to keep this in mind: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to YIELD!
PS: I have always been longing for Canada, and I am even more fascinated after watching this movie. In the movie, after Ben took a photo of a couple, one of them said to Ben with envy and gratitude: I wanna say that you live in one of the most beatiful countries in the world. It couldn't agree more.
PSS: I am very fond of the episode of this movie. It is fresh and has a little ethereal feeling, together with the blue sky of Canada.
