October Sky - the origin for movies about achievers

the october sky had been a pretty predictable stereotype of movies about acheivers .. but needs to be recognized by the fact that it is the first of its kind taken in 1966.. its about those who break the inheritant occupational clutches and struggle to follow their dreams and finally make the man feel proud about his son who had proved to be supreme above all those who took up the routine hereditary professional lanes..
holmer the protogonist of the movie being the son of a coal miner was always looked upon to take the same profession as his father, but who in contrary identifies his passion to fly high the awed thought of those days --- the rocket ....
another remarkable role played in the movie is Miss Riley the class teacher of Holmer who takes pleasure and self satisfaction in helping and motivating the boy realise his dreams....
all in all a good one but it got old due to a lot other movies depicting the same and already been watched by todays audience .... but it surely could be one of the best one in that time......


P.S: these days this is the first thing i am doing after coming to office .... write about the movie
and the first thing i do after going home is .....to watch a movie....kudos to all those movie makers who have given me some avagation in these no-work days
