"Hit Thunder": The Boy Who Flies

Abandoned by his father when he was young, his mother suffers from severe depression and a grandmother with Alzheimer's. In such a lifeless family, high school student Carson still has his own persistent beliefs and ideals, obsessed with writing, and his biggest dream is to be admitted to the School of Journalism at Northwestern University. In order to make your resume stand out, he actively planned the campus literature club, hoping to improve his popularity and competitiveness. As a result, in a sloppy and free campus, literary writing has long been an unearthed cultural relic and is not favored by anyone. Except for an unpopular fat female classmate, no one is willing to join literary creation. Carson is helpless. In order to achieve the highest goal, he will do whatever it takes to collect the scandalous scandals of his classmates, in order to coerce everyone to join the writing team.

Just as the plan was in full swing and the journal was published as scheduled, the school director informed Carson that he had been disqualified from admission for failing to report to Northwestern University within the deadline. When Carson was miserable like a headless fly, he accidentally learned from his mother that the admission letter was secretly destroyed by his mother, on the grounds that it was all for his own good. This thunderbolt-like news made Carson completely devastated. While wandering halfway with a pile of unpopular journals, he was struck by a thunderbolt in the air, and he bid farewell to this sad and tragic world forever.

The film is written and starred by Chris Colfer, a 22-year-old handsome guy in the American drama "Glee". I have to say that the young man is full of talents and profound thoughts. There are very few films that are worth thinking about. Worry-free teenagers live a worry-free flowering season. When most people are at the crossroads of reality and dreams, how many people have given up their pursuits and started to live a boring life, and how many people have seriously thought about themselves the future and do something profound. Actually, very little.

Carson, a high school student with strong convictions and unique insights, may be one of the few lonely people who likes to think and look far ahead. Although the film ends in tragedy, letting this thinker say goodbye to everyone, it is a bolt from the blue. It is awakening the world's awakening. If you want to fly, you should go as early as possible. There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky and good fortune. If you don't fly now, it will be too late to regret after you have been suffocated by too many mundane things. If you look at this film as a youth film, well, this is not your thing!
