Michael, the hero, has suffered a lot since he was a child. His parents divorced when he was very young, his mother took drugs, and his father later fell off the overpass and died. He is coming of age, but he has only the IQ of a six-year-old child. He was discouraged by many schools, and his adoptive family finally gave him up. No friends.
How can a life of more than ten years be described by a few simple crosses?
Few people can see hope in him.
What makes me cry most is his frowning brows and eyes, naive, confused and timid ... It seems that he has been worried about something, afraid of something, and there is no light in his eyes, and he has never heard laughter belonging to his peers.
However, dawn finally came, and he met a kind and elegant woman, Anne.
It was a rainy night, and Annie went to take her son SJ home. However, Anne went to see Michael walking alone, shivering. SJ's name is Michael "Big Michael", which translates as "Big Michael". Maybe it was at that moment that Anne couldn't bear to look at Michael alone, so she got off the bus and asked him why he left alone, where his home was and where he was going. However, Michael said he would go to the gym because it was warm there.
Michael is homeless.
Luckily, he met Anne. He lived in Anne's house and got along well with them. Anne's family opened Michael's heart with their kindness, took good care of him and made him grow up happily and healthily.
Later, Anne wanted to recognize Michael as her adopted son, and her behavior puzzled her friends.
"I don't need your approval of my decision, but I hope you can respect me. You know nothing about your child's experience. "
"He doesn't trust others. In his life, those people pretended to take care of him, but in the end they all ran away. "
How lucky Michael was to meet the kind and warm Anne family; How lucky Anne's family is to have another kind and strong child like Michael.
Michael finally showed a bright smile, and his eyes shone bright and hopeful.
With their joint efforts, Michael entered the University of Mississippi, continued his football training and competition, and finally became a sports star.
The film is called weakness. What is Michael's weakness?
His inferiority and insecurity filled his body and mind. How can a person who has no hope for the future and courage to overcome difficulties succeed?
In this world, there are many people with unhappy childhood like Michael. They may be talented in some ways, but the damage they suffer the day after tomorrow is enough to ruin their lives. Because they didn't meet anyone who was willing to help them when they were in a quagmire, and they didn't have the courage and perseverance to face these difficulties. The so-called weakness is just the strength and source that inspires you to go up. As long as you face them squarely and overcome them, you will succeed in the end.
In the film, Michael is the only black man in his high school. Before that, this school had never accepted blacks. And he was also the first black man to graduate smoothly.
Yes, there are some differences between blacks and whites in the film. Many poor blacks live at one end of the city, where poverty and riots often occur; On the other side of the city, it is rich and peaceful, full of warmth and kindness.
Annie's family brought Michael into another world, but there are countless black people like Michael suffering.
In Michael's graduation thesis, there is such a passage: "Courage is very subtle. Should I always listen to others? " Sometimes you don't even know why you did it. Any fool may have courage, but glory is what you do. The real reason for not doing something is the real you, the one you want to be. If you lose your life working hard for important things, then you have glory and courage. "
Even if we feel inferior, or confused and helpless, our body and mind can have great energy. In the end, love and trust will make us grow up quickly.
Maybe there is not much hope in life, but we can create light.
