Opinion
This movie does not show that through discipline, effort, dreams, perseverance the goals we have in life can be achieved, that the only limits in life are us.
It is a real-life movie, in which we can appreciate that since he was a child he was rejected as a young man with glasses, a nerd type, they would say these are like that, he is always pursued by bullying, rejection, many other things. But despite these, he had great support for someone who was very important in his life, his mother, his father It's always the fundamental pillars of our children, we are what give them that impulsiveness to be able to get ahead, a simple word can encourage our children, or even destroy them.
