Topic on the movie Running Brave

This week in English I watched the movie Running Brave. It was a biographical movie about the life of an native american track runner by the name Billy Mills who won a gold Olympic medal. The whole story centralized on many historical subjects like: racism and segregation, but what I found most important was the concept of identity. Billy faced many troubles due to this, his dad told him he wasn't completely native american due to his mother being white, so this means that he was trapped between two worlds that considered him an outcast. This can be observed in the way Eddie treated him and when his room mate asked him what he was, as if he was an alien to everything. In psychology when a human feels isolated from the world they lose notion of who they are and lose purpose, this happens directly when Billy identified himself and three different entities but neither were him. It's quite strange in fact, due to me being Puerto Rican and also with most of my family coming from Europe, I feel as if an alien from this world, but the trick is to always remember who I am and what I want to do. Billy along the way forgot who he was and lost sight of his goal, but later corrected himself and achieved greatness. Also related to this subject of identity I included the video, due to it's message.
