Brother Bear

Brother bears is a Disney movie realised by  Aaron Blaise and Robert Walker. Set in the Pacific Northwest, it deals with three young Native American brothers who are making their way into manhood.  The youngest brother Kenai has the totem of a bear which represent the animal’s spirit within his body. He dislikes bears but in their culture the bear represents love and not a more dynamic quality as he was hoping for because he’s so angry towards the bears it ends up resulting in the death of him and the bear (mother bear). Then Kenai is reincarnated into a bear. The movie was an instant classic. It made you feel as if you were in the movie creating emotions never felt before and never thought you could feel. A sweet sadness that was pruely amazing.

October Sky

October Sky is a true -life story of West -Virginia High school student Homer Hickman (Cast by Jake Gyllenhaal) , who was inspired by the 1957 launch of Sputnik to build and launch his own rocket.
Homer Hickman is on a quest to build a rocket that launches, But he fails many times and his father does not support him on his quest to build rockets. Homer still builds rockets even though his 3 friends are the only ones supporting him. Homer and his friends build a Rocket that launches into the sky really high.
NewcomerGyllenhaal is extraordinary in the pivotal role of Homer more than holding his own against such seasoned talent as Cooper and Laura Dern , playing his inspirational teacher who pushes him to archieve his dream and contrasts a life-threatening illness just as Homer's plans apear to be getting off the ground. 
  
Gyllenhaal is a natural in front of the camera, seething with rage when his father continually throws spanners (nay the whole toolbox) in the works, and bursting with pride when he and his friends snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The other young cast members also turn in strong performances, each with his own particular hurdles to overcome during the film: bullying at school, an alcoholic and abusive father, and the death of a loved one. If the film does have any failings, it is the overly sentimental final ten minutes which are determined to pull the heartstrings as firmly, and as frequently as possible.

October Sky

October Sky is the story of West Virginian high school student Homer Hickham  who was inspired by the 1957 launch of Sputnik to build and launch his own rocket. Johnston's film follows Homer every step of the way, from building the missile as part of a science project, through the first attempts to launch it, to the tentative first flight in front of the locals. Fighting Homer all the way is his father, a fiercely proud supervisor at the local coal mine who expects his son to follow in his footsteps, and cannot understand for one minute the boy's fascination with something so fantastical as space travel. But Homer refuses to give up, often clashing with his father and practically tearing his family apart in the pursuit of his dream.
