It's a complicated world “October Sky” exists in. Telling a more character-driven story for the first time in his career, “October Sky” presents new opportunities for Joe Johnston as a director. Visually, this is a strong looking film. All of “October Sky” is characterized by an especially autumnal warmth.
In the book “October Sky”, there’s a common theme throughout the book, Determination. Sonny and the Rocket Boys would often have an issue with their rockets.October Sky, Witness, and Good Morning Vietnam all had strong themes of individualism versus conformity.
