Heroes from ancient times

OCTOBER SKY is the first film starring JAKE Zhenger Bajing. When the film was released, he was 19 years old. The film is a high school student, which is very realistic. The film is adapted from the real experience of NASA engineer HOMER HICKMAN. It tells the story of a rocket team formed by four children from the West Virginia mining village, and the rocket actually left the mining village. From the current point of view, it is a typical American inspirational film, but I really can't figure out how to make inspirational films in the United States so inspiring.


Dreams are the source of everything. When the

Soviet Union just launched the Sputnik satellite (Miki Murakami passed by silently), it caused a sensation in the United States. Some conservative mining villagers just regarded it as a show, a flash in the pan, and felt that it was more realistic to dig coal in the ground - coal can make steel, and the lifeblood of the country is steel. But when the sight of the rocket taking off fell into the eyes of the young man, it was a whole new world. I also want to build a rocket, so simple and direct and so deeply ingrained in this young man's mind. That moment was really good. I was inspired by some dazzling and radiant things, and it went straight to my heart, as if I had got a ticket to the new continent. Bright, dangerously exciting, new beginnings, and hopefully the best part is that you feel what you just want.

Everyone has moments like this, what a moment to cherish.


The same unrealistic and romantic guide and fellow traveler

is like what the teacher of HOMER said at the beginning, do you want to build a rocket? Then you need to understand basic science, and the foundation of science is mathematics, and your mathematics is not good. HOMER, if you want to win the award, it is not just a dream. Later, the teacher always encouraged him, defended him, and even stood up to confront the school, which was not easy in the education system of that era. Sometimes I feel that Western education has a very enviable place in respecting interests and giving full play to its strengths. You say innovation means innovation? In places where tolerance and diversity have not become mainstream, it is hard to believe that personalized growth really has the soil to survive.


Those friends who thought that HOMER was just a game, decided to try this thing with HOMER after a fight that was not a dispute. I felt inauthentic in a certain scene of love. . It's really refreshing for the boys to form a group to do things. One second they fight, and the next second they talk and do it regardless of the past. I believe that there are, and I yearn very much to meet people who are born with leadership qualities, not just talking or putting on a show. It is the kind that can mount a horse with a knife, and write poetry with a pen. It is said that the real version of HOMER became famous after becoming a NASA scientist, somehow remembering the story of the rocket boy serialized in the newspaper, and then giving speeches everywhere in one go. According to the lines arranged by the screenwriter in the film, he really said those words if he couldn't figure it out. It's only natural that such a person can pull up the team to do such an earth-shattering small business. I really want to know what zodiac sign he is, so he can be articulate and full of feelings, is it a lion.


HOMER's parents are indeed the parents of such a heroic teenager. HOMER's father is the head of the mine. He is responsible for everyone's technology and safety. He is very popular and has a strong and stubborn personality, but he is measured. HOMER's mother is a housewife, but it is not simply for the children to do what they like. She is insightful and warm, and every choice of silence or speech has a principle and direction. By the way, I praise the actor, her voice is so kind and beautiful. . In short, this family makes me feel that HOMER is really lucky, not only with love, but also with wisdom.
