Formative American Dream

Great subject matter with all the elements a great film should have. Sadly, these elements have not been explored enough. It also made those who were expecting tears unable to cry.

The casting and performances are also not very good, and Def's undisguised youth and vitality have weakened the deep sense of history. The whole film is as bland as an episode of a TV show.

Unlike most inspirational films, this isn't a success story in full-blown "American Dream" mode. The protagonist's life has experienced the growth stage of the core of the "American Dream", or the experiences of the protagonists promote the formation of the American Dream.

A group of people is not united because of strict borders, strict discipline, and racial genetic identity, but because of the same values ​​to form a country. Everyone believes that there is value in using their talents in life, and there is no need to worry too much about the illusory rewards they deserve. Then such a country is a place where the vast majority of people can live and work in peace and contentment.
