Give everyone a movie about Amway, The Knight of The Holy War.
Whether you want your child to succeed and be happy in the future, or want to be successful and happy on your own, movies will definitely inspire you.
The tone of the movie is cheerful and uplifting, which is very suitable for holiday viewing.
The protagonist is the famous American actor Heath Ledger, the male protagonist of Brokeback Mountain, and the Joker in Batman.
Actually, I think it's more appropriate to call It Civilian Knight because it's not about jihad. It tells the story of a civilian youth who, through struggle, finally realizes the dream of knighthood.
The story takes place in medieval Europe, when a tournament that only noble knights could participate in was popular.
Both commoners and nobles were crazy about it. Just like the modern Olympic Games, the gladiator competition in the ancient Greco-Roman period. And the winner also has a lot of rewards.
The competition has fencing and an important event, gunfights. It is two knights in armor, riding a gun to stab each other, stabbing each other in the chest, head, or letting the other party fall off the horse, you can score. The American drama "Game of Thrones" also has such a scene.
At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist William and the other two noble masters served by the attendants die during the break between the games. The master who could have won the prize was dead, and the three attendants had not eaten for three days and were so hungry that they wanted to bite. In a hurry, William volunteered to wear armor and impersonate the host to the field. As a result, William won.
The prize was exchanged for 15 silver coins. Originally, one person had 5 silver coins, and three foreigners in Italy could return to their hometown in London, England, after dividing the money, but William persuaded the other two to take out 4 silver coins each and his 5 silver coins, and put them together as training fees and installation fees, and he would participate in the next game in two months and make money from it.
But the contestants must be 4 generations of nobles, William is not eligible to participate, and when they are worried, they meet a nude writer who has lost so much gambling that his clothes have been stripped off. The writer spoke of his various abilities, one of which was to forge the certificate of nobility, so William invited the writer to join him, forged the certificate of nobility for him, and became his herald.
Next, he trained hard, took part in one game after another, where he was brave and fearless, winning one game after another, moving from Italy to Paris, France, and finally, back to London.
By this time, he had become famous and a household name.
In the middle of this, he won the heart of a beautiful aristocratic maiden with sincerity and equal respect for women; he used his cleverness to let a powerful female blacksmith join him and tailor new light and sturdy armor for him; he won the friendship of the Crown Prince of England on the field with sincerity and fearlessness, self-respect and self-love.
Back in London, he couldn't resist meeting his father, who was a roofer.
Unfortunately, his identity is secretly discovered by his rivals and opponents on the field, who do not hesitate to expose him and send him to the guillotine.
In a critical moment, his friend, the Crown Prince of England, came to the rescue and officially granted him knighthood. He returns to the arena as a true knight, defeats his rivals, and wins the game again.
At this point, he went from a commoner to a true knight, aristocrat, and winner in life.
This is the story of a low-level counterattack, a successful person who achieved a class jump.
The above is the main line of the story, and I am more interested in the dark line story that crosses the fork in the main story.
When you see a large tree with a large branch and a leaf, you can certainly infer that its roots in the soil are thick, and the soil in which it takes root is fertile.
William's father appears three times in the film.
For the first time,
When a procession of knights appeared in the street, William Jr. excitedly climbed up the guillotine and watched with his father the passing knights.
William said enviously, "One day I will become a knight too." ”
The prisoner next to him, who was put on the guillotine and was about to be executed, laughed: "The son of a roofer?" knight? You might as well try to change the stars! ”
Confused, William turned to his father and asked, "Can one change the stars?" ”
The father replied firmly: "Yes, as long as a person is firm in his heart, he can do everything." ”
******
When we do something, there are always pessimistic people around us, even people you are very close to, who will laugh at you, hit you, tell you that there is such and such danger, and assert that you will fail. Just like the prisoners in the movie, if you listen to the people around you, you will achieve nothing. I don't know if you have found out, successful people are always bent on going their own way.
William was fortunate to have a father who protected his children's dreams. We can also be a parent who protects the dreams of our children, and without children, then protect our dreams.
second
Through his own efforts, the father made an agreement with a true noble knight to entrust William to this knight as his attendant.
When the father and son said goodbye at the dock, the father told William:
"William, he was a true knight, observing and learning as much as you could."
"This is all I can do for you, you have to change the stars and live a better life than me."
"Live a better life than me", this is the best wish of parents to their children. Children are always loyal to their parents, and when parents live hard and humble, it is difficult for children to live happily and richly without guilt, especially parents who deliberately let their children feel guilty to control their children. When parents allow and wish their children a better life, this is not only to loosen the child's bondage, but also to empower the child.
William's father not only did his best to help his children realize their dreams, but also gave them the freedom to recharge their feet, which is true fatherly love.
Then, as his father was about to leave by boat, William chased him out and asked:
"Father, I'm afraid I won't find my way home."
The father replied, "Don't be stupid, just follow in your footsteps." ”
In fact, this sentence can also be understood as "follow your heart". This is a simple and correct guide to life. This is truly a loving and wise father.
For the third time,
Twelve years later, William was already famous on the field. Go back to see your father, who is blind. Father asked only one word: "William, have you followed in your footsteps?" William replied, "Yes." Father and son hugged each other in tears.
William used his own success, friendship, and love to confirm his father's love and wisdom. What should be the relationship between parents and children? This is my ideal state.
