This movie was the TV version I watched when I watched it. What impressed me the most was the protagonist's father, a man who was addicted to alcohol, drugs, knew everything and lived a life of despair. The actors are brilliant, and there are quite a few scenes that are touching, and this may just be because of the similarities with my own life, which affects my mind.
The name of the movie is very interesting, Homeless to Harvard, go to Harvard without a home. The concept of a university that we have always talked about is that it can become the "spiritual home" of students. The "alma mater" we have always been talking about is not only about learning knowledge, but also about defining life. This is the home. significance. Looking at the mysterious eastern country, how many universities can provide such space for students, the result of the expansion of enrollment is that students cannot learn knowledge in universities, nor can they realize their own life.
Such a movie has an extremely obvious American background. Even in a family full of holes, you can rely on your own efforts to go to college. If you don't have a home, you come to college, and the college can give you a home. The American dream is like this, so everyone likes the United States.
When watching this movie on TV, there are many lines imprinted in my heart. The eastern kingdom is a country without dreams, so many words have received more textual interpretations. What impressed me the most was not the history of personal struggle, because I deeply thought that the success rate of struggle in the eastern kingdom should be joined by many humble compromises, rather than honest efforts. I paid more attention to the father who looked like a down-and-out intellectual. Once upon a time, I deeply thought that I would drink, take drugs, know everything and be down for the rest of my life. Looking at that father was like looking at my future. However, even if I am disappointed with the society, I still hope that I will live in a beautiful country. I hope that this country can have a dream and get what I really want through my own efforts, not the things that the society imposes on us.
