Thanks to those who are willing to believe in us, let us shake hands with ourselves

Generally speaking, I have a natural affinity for movies based on true stories.

The soothing and calm violin and radio sounds at the beginning of the film slowly brought me into the atmosphere of the Cold War, and I already had the desire to watch it.

Then came the story of a young man who was a sports student on the road to the Math Olympiad.

I asked my old heart, what is a young man?

After thinking about it for a long time, I can only think that the most different characteristic of young people from any other stage of life is "brave". Bravery is not daring to fight with sisters, not wanting to buy something to buy something, let alone doing it for pain. The bravery of adolescence should be the perseverance and perseverance in the face of dreams.

Of course Homer's rockets couldn't stop exploding just because of courage, they kept exploding. But who can be stopped by failure, is it still a brave young man? The greatest significance of failure is to narrow the scope of the right goal. Bravery is of course not stubbornness. That kind of bravery belongs to wild animals. Human bravery requires brains, and bravery does not hinder the modification of the route to the goal .

With persistent efforts, the rocket was finally launched successfully. Naturally Homer is also favored by the girls, and even the Rocket Boys are in the newspapers and become celebrities, just when "the eastern sky shows fish belly white" - usually there is a but - but the bad news follows, nearby There was a big fire in the forest. The forest police couldn't find the arsonist. They happened to see the news of the Rocket Boys launching rockets in the newspaper, so they took it for granted that it was the rocket that stabbed Lala and released a string of Mars farts.

What is a house leak? It rains overnight, and the appetite increases in the famine years. Almost squatting, not to mention, my girl even let my own brother take it, and my father encountered a mining accident again. Although the older brother, who had been accepted by the university, asked himself to drop out of school and work to support the family, Homer certainly knew how hard-won the opportunity of university was for the family, so he silently put away his dream, and resolutely dropped out of school and entered the mine. It's just that I look up at night and watch the satellite that once inspired my dreams pass by. The growth brought by the desire and loneliness that can't be hidden in the eyes is more than the "pain of youth" regretting after breaking a wine bottle and fighting over something bigger. much deeper.

But the life under the mine was not what he wanted after all. Even though his short coal mining career made his father finally recognize him, Homer still had that rocket dream hidden in his heart. Homer finally realized that his father wasn't interested in the Rockets and everything he did. This made him very sad, angry and frustrated.

Does the father really despise his son that much?

He's just more realistic: Not every dream can become a reality, not everyone can be a rocket expert, especially in a place like West Virginia, where rockets have not been heard much. In fact, he loves children, but because of his lack of knowledge, he thinks this is just an ethereal dream, and every father naturally doesn't want his son to indulge in dreams. Although he was a stern man, at heart he was not. He just thought it was stupid to study rockets—something he knew very little about, and he didn't want the sadness that his son might have shown after so much enthusiasm for the unknown outcome.

Homer, who has not changed much, finally broke with his father.

"The mine is your life, but it's not mine."

The so-called touching is not because of the tears, but because the emotion behind it resonates with you, but the tearing drama can only resonate with my pelvic cavity. Whose adolescence is not accompanied by "the family's incomprehension", what can resonate with us is the real inner entanglement and the re-examination of the heart after the entanglement, bastard!

Of course Homer finally, like you and me, reconciled with Dad.

"It's not that we think differently about everything, it's that I'm the same as you, I'm just as stubborn and tough as you. I just pray that I'll be like you."

So do you know what growth is?

The reason why I hate the domestic "Youth Pain Movie" is not because there are sisters torn apart, brothers fight, and the five elements lack brains without lack of Su. Fuck yourself. It's that we are in that twisting stage, and life is not only full of these bad things, our growth comes from us starting to look at ourselves calmly again.

You call me to be a son, and I follow you to be a father. This poem is probably the best footnote to the father-son relationship in "October Sky". Who hasn't had a twisted adolescence, who has not learned to reconcile with your family when you are my age, when you understand your father's anger, your lover's come and go, your brother's jealousy, and your friend's friendship, when you no longer When twisting:

I guess you made peace with yourself.

At this time, I looked back at the road I walked, and I still saw the teachers, fathers, and friends on the roadside, they were looking at me tenderly.

Thank you to those who believed in us before we were confident, and may you shake hands with yourself to make peace.

    I started to wonder, why did I start to feel sarcastic about the story of Soul Catcher? Why, start admonishing yourself not to be persuaded? Why, can I watch it with such peace? Is it that I fully understand, I don't understand at all, or is it another question of willingness or not. . . Just let the days move forward. . . LET'S SEE. . .

    The "Rocket Boy" who dreamed of coal is a near-perfect inspirational movie. Based on the adaptation of real events and the delicate outline of family affection, the retrospect of this seemingly unreachable space dream is full of blood-burning power and moving tears. The father-son relationship and the teacher-student relationship all brought tears to our eyes. Even when you're compromising on darkness, you can occasionally look up at the stars. Jake Gyllenhaal was still a college student at the time, and his youthful face, penetrating eyes and mature and confident acting were in stark contrast.

October Sky quotes

  • Roy Lee: I'll tell you what's unbelievable... captain of the football team being jealous of you.

  • Principal Turner: Miss Riley, our job is to give these kids an education.

    Miss Riley: Mmm-hmm.

    Principal Turner: Not false hopes.

    Miss Riley: False hopes? Do you want me to sit quiet, let 'em breathe in coal dust the rest of their life?

    Principal Turner: Miss Riley, once in a while... a lucky one... will get out on a football scholarship. The rest of 'em work in the mines.

    Miss Riley: How 'bout I believe in the unlucky ones? Hmm? I have to, Mister Turner, I'd go out of my mind.
