They have traveled around the world, battled across the world, galloped across the desert, fought for freedom and glory with their swords, and conquered the hearts of the beautiful princesses of the Sahara... After experiencing joys and sorrows, they came to this manor in Texas. Live a plain and boring life.

Some people say that they were once desert thieves, bank robbers, and members of the Mafia. They were tyrannical, withdrawn, and murdered without blinking. After robbing a large sum of money in the bank years ago, they hide here and live unknown lives. Life.

So, dear boy, which one do you believe?

The small part of "Instructions for Men" that you have heard, the legend that you have experienced by the pond in the middle of the night, the photo of the beautiful girl covered with dust, so far away, like a legend Stories, are they real?

The corner of the boy's mouth was pressed, his eyes were bright and firm, he chose to believe, to believe in those worthy of trust, even if the stories sounded so untrue.

It was an era when glory and bravery were more admired than money and power. It was a bizarre legend with rich colors like a dream. It was an adventurous journey for real men.

As the chief's great-grandson asked later, "So, they are real?" The

grown-up boy smiled and said to himself, "It is true."

------------- --------I am the dividing line of what I buy---------------------

Look at what they bought from the salesperson later !

UFO target machines, various vegetable seeds that were only planted with corn, retired lions from zoos, large yachts on small ponds, retired aircraft from World War II... I am afraid that the happiest thing is that the one who raises the white flag is not afraid of death and dares everything. The salesman who sold it.

The target machine gave children and the old people a common interest (finally), and at the same time scared away the cousins ​​with bad personalities;

bought seeds for farming and planted various plants, although the harvest was all corn; the

corn grew into a piece In the forest, Jia Simin, a retired lion from the circus, plays and rests in it;

Jia Simin saved the boy’s life and died solemnly as a lion at the last moment of his life;

yacht... I really don’t know why they bought that yacht the same size as the lake;

that plane, red biplane, two An old man in his nineties flew at a super low altitude and high speed, and fell into the barn while spinning. The

police handed the grown-up boy on the paper they left behind: "Everything belongs to the boy, bury us. In the broken garden, next to that stupid lion."

----------------------I am the dividing line of small pieces-------- --------------The

memorable small fragments

in the movie: When the young Walter first arrived at the manor, he was timid and cautious. There is nothing here, and there is no TV. There are only two scary personalities. Strange old man.

That poor salesperson was shotguns away again and again, until Walter said why not see what he was selling? Okay, let's see what he sells first, and then shoot him away, Uncle Hub said.

Fearing to be sent to the orphanage again, Walter ran out to call his mother and asked her to take him away, only to find that his mother, again, deceived him.

When Walter stood up with a sketch map of the map and was about to set off to ask where the north was, Uncle Garth pressed Uncle Hub's arm pointing to the north.

Walter was with a group of little pigs and puppies, quietly listening to Uncle Garth's story about their legendary experience when they were young by the pond at night.

Uncle Hub woke up and found that he was furious after being sent to the hospital. After leaving the hospital, he fought with a group of teenagers in the pub. Uncle Garth watched the game leisurely and sipped a sip of beer from time to time.

Walter asked Uncle Hub in the middle of the night, those stories, are they true? Uncle Hub did not answer him directly, but slowly told part of the manly manifesto.

The three people cultivated the field together. A few months later, they found that the seeds of beet, carrot, cabbage, cabbage, sugar cane, and corn were all corn.

The lion Jasmine rushed out of the corn forest, running, jumping, threatening, roaring like a real lion born and growing from the African savannah, protecting Walter, and at the last moment of his life, living like a real lion.

After discussing with his mother, Walter returned alone and said to the two uncles who were surprised and delighted standing at the door, I am here with conditions: you are not allowed to have dangerous behaviors, and you are not allowed to fight with teenagers, at least before I became an adult. Don’t fly, eat more vegetables, eat less meat...Uncle Hub said angrily, what do you want us to do? Walter nodded, bared his white teeth, and smiled.

---------------------I am the dividing line of the most beautiful piece---------------------

This is the most beautiful piece:

Walter carrying his small suitcase, walking on the way back to the manor, his vision is wide, and the grass spreads to the horizon. When he is approaching the manor, the little pigs and puppies greet him, and the two old men walk. Come out, stand at the door, looking in the direction where the boy is coming, the boy is going home.

--------------------------I am the dividing line of lines------------------ --------

[Hub and Garth are getting ready to shoot at a traveling salesman]
Walter: Why not see what he's sellin'?
Hub: What the hell for?

Hub: [to Garth] Right.
[Grabs Hood 1 by the throat]
Hub: I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN and loved only one woman with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!


Walter: Those stories about Africa... They're true aren't they?

Hub: Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing ; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.


Walter: If I'm gonna live here, there's gonna be some conditions
Hub: conditions?
Walter: No more dangerous stuff. No more fighting teenagers. No airplanes. More vegetables, less meat

Hub: What do ya want me to do? Die of old age?

Adult Walter: They lived.

    Warm film, although a bit old-fashioned, but moved to tears several times. Sometimes people should still have hope and belief, and sometimes it is enough to simply believe.

    Wow, it's amazing, it's actually a lion, and it's so docile. Although the narrative is a little loose, the lion is more supporting role than the supporting role, but it is obvious that the old hero is full of courage and arrogance through the lion. With such uncles, can you not be proud. In addition to the legend, the warmth of the third father is enough to reminisce for a long time, a must-see movie for boys.
