The Illusion of Rage
This movie for me also kind of rides on this micro trope that I swear maybe there's only like three or four movies that I call the astronaut farmer. October skies, which came out God in like 2000 or so, it's about a high school student whose dad is the prototypical coal miner and his son wants to build a rocket. It's that sort of reconciliation between the earthy traditional a pragmatic life and the sort of aspirational one. And I can see the farmer astronaut has been kind of a similar thing of farmer equals traditional lifestyle hometown nostalgia by gone era astronaut equals future danger bleeding edge all that kind of stuff.
