In fact, this is life. The great thing is that he can't control it by himself. The pain point is that others control too much.
Perhaps the poor in the world dream the most, because he wants too much, and the real dream is not money, but something that is most meaningful in his life. For example, the dream of the father and brother in the film is fairness and freedom. The father did not go to London because there are no mines in London, and the father finally went to London because his son performed there. The teacher's dream is the continuation and delivery of the ballet plot, although she also longs for the dream to burn and family harmony. The protagonist's dream is the kind that he doesn't understand himself. It seems that he doesn't know what he said during the exam. In fact, he really doesn't know. Think about our current life path, how many people will be like this until now? None of us know.
I did not see this film as an inspirational film. What I felt was more of an encounter, an encounter where the fate is not in our own hands, a pain that we cannot work hard.
Compared with the director's technique, it cannot be considered first-class, and the plot design in many places is slightly blunt and deliberate. The father's performance is not very good, he lacks inner strength, and the character design of his brother is slightly weak.
Movies that can make us feel something are good movies, and this one is not bad!
