Family "The Amazing Journey of Teenage Spivey" Movie Commentary Copy
Today is the award ceremony for this boy.
He is only 10 years old.
He actually invented the perpetual motion machine.
It was an invention that shocked the world.
The professor under the stage
Everyone looked at the boy with approval.
But after the boy gave his acceptance speech
did not leave
But slowly said a paragraph.
A sad past
The boy's name is David
Lives in a remote ranch
It's a beautiful place.
Dad was a cowboy.
Every day imagines himself running in the western prairie.
There are all kinds of animal specimens in the room.
Mom is a doctor of biology.
Obsessed with insect research.
But apart from research
Not very good at it.
David has a younger brother.
The brother is a shrunken version of his father.
Just as strong.
Has the same passion for cowboys.
Likes to point his gun at anything that moves.
Dad also prefers his brother.
Only put the cowboy hat on the brother's head.
David just seems a little wimpy.
But he inherited his mom's brilliant brain
Likes to calculate
loves to make little inventions
Is a little scientist
The only normal person in the family
Is the sister who wants to be a beauty queen
A year ago
David attended a lecture on perpetual motion.
No one had yet succeeded in developing a perpetual motion machine.
David was fascinated.
He was also inspired.
He decided to complete the challenge.
Little did David know that he would succeed at once.
The Smithsonian officers told him
He had won our prestigious Baird Award.
The officer invited him to come and receive the award
And to make a speech about the award.
But the Smithsonian was too far away.
David thought about it.
I can't come to receive the award.
That day David and his brother came to play in the barn.
But then his brother's gun suddenly jammed.
David watched as his brother was blown away.
He never came back.
The death of his brother
The death of his brother quieted the family.
They don't talk about his brother.
Life seemed to go back to the way it was before.
But David felt
He was the one who killed his brother
And because of that, his mom and dad
They didn't love him as much.
Every time he rode in the car
David always thought
It should be my brother in the car, not me
The brother who can hit the coyote
The useless guy on the ranch.
Sadness and guilt overwhelmed Davey.
He didn't want to live like this anymore.
Davey packed his bags.
He took his mother's diary with him.
He was going to Washington to receive his award.
Maybe he'll be needed there more.
On the way, Dad drove by.
But he didn't stop.
It was like he acquiesced to David's departure.
The boy painted the signal red
So that he could stop the train
Then he climbed on the train
And began to travel alone
David was very happy on the way.
He spoke to the sun
Looking at the scenery through binoculars
Imagining that his brother was around
Accompanying him on his adventures
The next day the train stopped at the station
The conductor checked as usual
In order not to be discovered
David hid in the caravan.
But the sound of the door closing
Still attracted the attention of a conductor
David locked the door.
Disguised as a mannequin stand
To deceive the conductor
The train continued to move
David hadn't eaten anything all day and night.
He was now very hungry
He wanted to eat the model on the table
So when the train stopped for the second time
Ready to go to the hot dog store just seen
But he didn't get very far.
David met a strange grandfather
The grandfather called himself Two Clouds
He lives in the train car.
The two clouds liked David very much
They took him to the carriage
The two of them talked for a long time
David asked tentatively
Can you buy me a hot dog?
David took the money given by the two clouds
He went to the hot dog store on the roadside
Finally he got the hot dog he wanted to buy
At that moment, two policemen with
David's missing person notice, two police officers approached him.
They asked the owner about the situation
and put it on the hot dog cart.
David saw this and left in a panic
On the way back
David saw a phone booth
Mom and Dad were anxiously answering the phone
His sister was also pleading with him to come home
But all this
was just David's fantasy
He was afraid to call home
He was afraid it wasn't what he thought it was
Afraid that no one would care that he was gone
I'm not a carefree wanderer
Just a 10 year old who ran away from home
He opened his mother's diary.
It contained all kinds of research data on insects.
Beyond that.
The diary was more about
The experiences of the three brothers growing up
Mom loved them more than she thought
And she was not as strong as she thought
She would wake up her brother every morning
But every time, she would leave in silence
It was always customary to make an extra breakfast
I was like an empty house
By the time David finished reading his diary
It was already dawn.
He finally arrived at his destination.
David hid his extra luggage.
He set out lightly with a few essentials on his back.
On the way, he met a policeman.
The policeman knew right away
David was a runaway kid.
He was going to take him back to the police station.
What do you want?
Do you still want to jump?
The boy was chased to the dam.
There was no way out.
The road behind was also blocked.
In order not to be caught back home
Grabbed the railing on the other side of the dam
He managed to climb to the other side
But his ribs were bruised
The compass was also broken
The helpless David
Walking alone on the road
Ready to hitchhike to the Smithsonian.
A truck driver gave him a ride.
When he got out of the van
The driver said to David
I don't know what you're looking for
But don't forget one thing
The road is under your feet.
David thanked him and left.
He finally made it to the Smithsonian
Ten years old.
The officer didn't believe David at first
It wasn't until David told her about the principle of perpetual motion.
She then believed that David was the genius he was before.
The officer analyzed David's brain
Preparing for tomorrow's presentation
She saw a business opportunity in David.
She was ready to package him as a
A once-in-a-century genius
At the award ceremony
Everyone smiled and wished David well
But none of the smiling faces were genuine
Everyone wore a mask of fake smile
After the opening speech
David came on stage to give his speech
Talking about his gratitude
Talking about his success
Talking about his brother.
My brother is dead.
He shot himself dead in the barn.
I helped hold the butt of the gun
I... I... I didn't even touch the trigger.
That's a scar he'll carry with him for the rest of his life.
The people on stage were moved.
One man even stared at David.
He couldn't calm down for a long time.
It was his mother, who also came to the ceremony.
Afterwards, David was invited
To participate in the most watched show
The TV station wanted to be more topical.
They rarely asked questions about the perpetual motion machine.
They just kept asking David
The exact cause of his brother's death.
And that's not all.
They also invited David's mother.
David lied.
He looked at his mom.
I'm sorry.
I was wrong.
But the mother said
Give that gun to the kids as a gift.
Or let the two kids play with the gun alone in the barn.
And that's not wrong?
It's not your fault that your brother died.
It wasn't anyone's fault.
It was just an accident.
It happened.
It just happened.
David was finally relieved.
It wasn't that his parents didn't love him anymore.
It was that he had closed himself off.
He ignored the show he was recording.
He left the set with his mother.
The host saw this and followed him out
Stopping them in their tracks
So Dad was here too.
Been waiting for them outside.
David jumped on dad's back
Asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
Why didn't you stop when you saw me on the road that day?
I was just packing that day.
I really didn't see you.
Davey was completely unstuck.
He took away his dad's cowboy hat
and put it on his own head.
The family returned to the ranch together.
Life was the same as before
But between the families
there was more
More tolerance and understanding.
And a new member.
And David's perpetual motion machine
finally came in handy.
Well that's it for today.
We'll see you next time.
