Running Brave,a movie full of emotions

We all can say that we have some kind of dream that we would like to chase and accomplish. The difference is in whether the person decides to make their dreams come true or just set them aside because whatever reason they have. A lot of people life the rest of their lives in regret for not chasing their dreams so that is why people are always telling others to follow their dreams. We can see something like this in the movie Running Brave which tells the story of the North American Indian boy Billy Mills, who had a dream to be a professional runner and go to the Olympics.

            In the movie Billy Mills is an Indian that goes to Kansas City University after his high school coach brought the track and field team coach from the university to see Mills run and hopefully get him a scholarship to the university. The coach was hesitant at first because he already had bad experiences while working with Indians but after all he did agreed to take him. After much training and being pushed by his coach Mills got his dream and spend the next four years in KU running with the team in a display of great speed and talent by beating his opponents by a considerably big margin and not really getting that much tired. At the end of his four years he just lost the love of running and went back to the reserve until his brother killed himself, which made him go to the marines and later to the Olympics to end up winning in a tide race and fulfill his dream and bring happiness to his people.

            I have to say even though the movie is very old it is very entertaining and very inspirational. I definitely enjoyed watching the movie, especially the final race, which was the best part in my opinion. I have to say that I was like "come on Billy you have to run, you have to win, this movie can’t end like this, it’s too much sadness in one movie". In my 18 years of life not one movie has created that effect in me in which it is not something that is currently happening but I cheer the person anyway and I have watched "Space Jam" a lot of times. What made it more emotional for me is to know that it is based on real life because I tend to connect more and like more movies that are based on real life.

            I have to say that it is a very inspiring story to see in a movie and those people that are in a fight to follow their dream should see it to find some inspiration. The most inspiring thing for me was to see from where he came from, as we can see in the movie being an Indian at that time did not bring you too many opportunities, all the contrary it restrained you to stay in the reserve. Plus he lost his father when he was 12 and that is not something easy, if my dad died I wouldn’t want to do anything. Then his brother killed himself to make everything worst and he got rejected by his own king at one point. Plus he got sick of running at one time. To see him overcome all those odds and difficulties is a true testament of what will power and dedication can do when you decide to do anything against all odds. For me it was one of the best movies ever and everyone should see this at one point in their lives.
