Sounds bad. Antidenial person. Something like that.
But that wasn’t my point today. I’d like to tell you about
the movie I got that sentence from.
The tittle is Mc Farland USA. Have you ever watch this movie? Not
yet. Oh, please. Don’t spend your life without watching it :D. Come on. Let’s go to internet and suft
and watch this very recommended movie.
The actor is Kevin Costner (I don’t know about you, but I know
this man since I was so young. And I keep say that he always choose special
movie to play in).
This movie tells us about Jim White. A PE and science
teacher that got so many troubles at schools where he teach. He fight with other
teacher, hurt his students and other problems.
So, he moved to McFarland, a poor city in California. This place
produces vegetables and fruits for whole America, but as many other places, the
citizen are poor. Most of them work as a picker, who have no idea for a better
life. They said, there’s no American Dream in that city.
Jim found that it’s a very quiet city. There’s only a
supermarket an a restaurant, no hang out places. Some students got to go home before
time because they had to help their parents picking. Some students had to leave
their home at dawn, pick at the farm, then run to school and back to the farm
after school. What a life.
Jim promise his family that they won’t stay long in that
city.
One day, Jim realize that the students has ability to run
very fast and they are strong. So Jim build a cross country team of 7 boys. They
fight to build their dreams of a better life.
After so many fight with parents and farm foreman, the team
can go to California first chalenge. And they win.
This winning change so many thing in Jim’s life, his family
and of course the boys’s life. 6 of them got schoolarship to college and become
many kind of better job than picker.
How about Jim? He and his family still stay in McFarland
untill the day the movie made. He dedicate his life to build another American
Dream in McFarland.
I like this movie not because Kevin Costner, he he he. I like
this movie because it tells us about passion, all out in what we do. It tells
me that if we can find a light in every children, they’ll become a good people
someday. Just believe in them and help them to grow.
Congrats for all the actor and actress that play in this
movie and all the crew, because you are all so lucky. I wish this movie will
inspire more people, more teacher like me.
I almost forgot. The sentence no say to me no, it’s a
sentence that say at least twice by the mother of 3 Jim’s runner. She’s a good
mother.
For all of you who read this note, go. Find this movie and
watch. Come share your opinion with me. I’ll wait.
