Sugar
Not all dreams come easily. In the movie Rocky, it was simple: he was invited to the match, trained and then he moved on from there. But in the movie Sugar the american dream didn't come as smooth and steady as that. Sugar Santos and his friends were a group of driven baseball players that got chosen to come to America and play on teams. For a while all was well, even though throughout this entire process Sugar faced many struggles. When he got to America he had to learn the language/ communicate. But not only did he have to speak the language he had to learn how to hang out with others. On top of those day to day challenges, Sugar injured his shoulder. With a fear they would kick him off the team he left on his own so he didn't have to bare that news. Slowly but surely the "dream" started to decline: money got low, jobs got mediocre, etc. Luckily, Sugar Santos came to the conclusion that running away wasn't what he needed to do, he needed to be on a field playing baseball like he was sent there for. So being the driven player that he was, Sugar started to play for a minor league team and accomplished his dream. In the end of it all the "american dream" may not have played out as it was planned nor did it go as smoothly, but it ended up happening.
