Movie Reflection- The Ultimate Gift

This week, I am going to write about a movie reflection about the movie The Ultimate Gift.
I am not really familiar with this movie, and the teacher said that the movie is not shown in Taiwan, so I guess most of the people here may have little clue about this movie as well.

First of all, we watch only about fifteen minutes of this movie last week, so I can only reflect that much today (If we happen to finish the movie, I would share more of it with everyone).  For the first fifteen minutes of the movie, it was mainly about the first gift a grandfather, Howard Red Stevens, to his grandson, Jason Stevens, who happens to be the main character of this movie. The movie starts with a funeral, I think it was the grandfather, Howard Red Stevens' funeral. After the funeral, the whole family, the Stevens, including all the aunts and uncles gathered together to listen to the will's of Howard Red Stevens. To all the Stevens family's surprise, most of them got only a little of the handsome heritage of Howard. So the family members went away from the gatherings with much disappointment and frustration.  At the end of the gatherings, the lawyer of Howard Red Stevens called Jason's name and told him that his grandfather gave him some heritage, then the lawyer handed out a recorded CD by  Jason's grandfather. In the CD, Howard Red Stevens told Jason that although he owed him much, he is going to give him some presents, and the first present, is in Texas.

When Jason got to Texas, he thought that he was going to receive the gift right away, however, the only thing he got was going to a farmhouse with an old man, who asked him to do manual work. The work was to build posts on the farm yard, at first, Jason was reluctant to do the work and simply slept on the yard, however, later he figured out that the only way he would go back to his hometown is to finish the work. At the end, Jason did a great job on the work and finally was sent back to his hometown. Before leaving, Jason asked the old man at the farm if he had a gift to give him, the old man just laughed and said: 'If you do anything like that (the way Jason finish the manual work at the farm), you can do everything.". And after Jason got back to meet the lawyer of his grandfather, the lawyer told him that the first gift was "The Gift Of work"

I think what Howard Red Stevens wanted to teach his grandson, Jason, is the attitude towards working, so that if he (Jason) got the heritage, which is a lot of money, he will still have the correct attitude towards working.
