 * Message**: //Astronaut Farmer (movie)// - Charles Farmer: the quest, the underdog;

Farmer's main quest is to reach outer space through his own homemade built rocket, which places him as an underdog to make a rocket and sucsessfully launch into outer space.

It's also boy wins girl, preceded by boy almost loses girl, with the Farmer parents struggling to maintain their relationship through Charles Farmer's obsession with launching into outer space.

Through the gender theory lens, the female characters are almost exclusively subordinate to the male characters. Farmer's wife, for example, is dutiful, yet still grounded enough to challenge him when his sanity appears lost.
