Sports Inspirational Success Study of Rural Teachers
Dennis 2022-03-25 09:01:15
The forced rural teaching forced out an outstanding middle school cross-country running coach and a group of "children in the mountains" whose fate was changed by perseverance and courage. The plot is actually very simple, but as a sports inspirational film, this film mixes more serious issues such as racial discrimination, immigration, social class mobility, etc. It is inspiring and worth thinking about. Mr. Costner's figure has been submerged in the water world for more than 20 years. Looking at it today, it is familiar and unchangeable, and the interpretation is accurate. However, as a rural teacher, he is a little trendy, not too similar. A little miracle in a remote corner of California, "When we run, we are no longer stupid Mexicans", every teenager who participates in sports has a better life, that's enough.

Maria Marisol: [reading Jose Cardenas's paper] We fly like blackbirds through the orange groves, floating on a warm wind. When we run, we own the earth. The land is ours. We speak the birds' language. Not immigrant no more. No stupid Mexicans. When we run, our spirits fly. We speak to the gods. When we run, we are the gods.
