      comment without comment

      Evaluation: I think it is difficult for me to evaluate this as a chicken-and-egg issue. I am a social person. The plot in the film is both fascinating and thought-provoking. The film critics have both praise and criticism. I thought that I was not qualified to comment on this film. I was helpless in this world, and I couldn't get rid of the dependence of survival; saving people by myself, although many people would not approve of it, but who would not be subjective? A small one is hidden in...

      Are you challenging the world for your ideals?

      Around a dead mother, a father with six children challenges the world! Mother's wish: Mother and father want to build an ideal country in their own minds, so that children can grow into philosophical saints, so that children can appreciate the value of life from an early age. This can be seen from the comparison with their cousins. The cousins ​​live in a modern society with abundant material life. They do not feel deprived of their own lives. Instead, they breed a lot of dissatisfaction....

      mutual shield

      Perhaps at some point in mother's love, before the desire of "children to become kings of philosophy", there is one more thing to grow up in peace and joy.

      At the moment of 1h38min, I was wondering whether it would be an empty coffin. In fact, my grandparents not only fulfilled their daughter's wish, but also preserved the decency of worldly affairs...

      The ending I understand is "for the sake of the child, I reconcile with the world".

      The way of life itself is not high or...

      Captain Fantastic

      When I saw the father educate his children in a wild survival style, the first thought that popped up was why we have the right to bring life into this world, and who decides what kind of method they use live a lifetime. I know it's funny, it's proliferating, why don't you find a more precise reason? But that is our will, maybe they will be disappointed in the world. The living environment we create for them and the way of life we ​​influence them are still in...

      Viewing experience: a fully structured speculative journey

      When I first heard the title, I really thought it was an interesting hero war movie, but it turned out to be a well-structured speculative journey. The whole film aims to explore the contemporary education system. Even if it is the Western education we yearn for, there are still many shortcomings. Do we really have the courage to cast aside the system that is deeply rooted in our minds?

      What is very interesting is that although the film starts by abandoning capitalism, it is not just a...

      The subtitle of the film should be: How Hillary lost the US election. The protagonist of this film is simply scum. Chomsky, the scum of the scum. Besides, how did his eldest son get so many offers? Tell those colleges that you're black, don't even like men, only like does, and haven't figured out which toilet you want to pee in...

      Oops, this is the best-selling one in Cannes this year. It's a pity that the layout is relatively small, and it can make in-depth and social themes. In the end, it still settles in a fresh utopia... Fortunately, it is cute enough and the lines are clever...

      Gavin Belson has a very high level of self-writing and directing. You should invest in the film industry for mutual benefit. The colors and lighting are great, and the details could be polished, but the dialogue is laughable. Although I don't agree with playing knives with children, I admire them very much in terms of cultural education. The best thing that parents can do is to treat their children as equals, be honest and not fool...

    Movie plot

    A couple, far away from the world, raised and educated six children in the deep mountains of the west coast of the United States. His wife returned to modern society for treatment due to illness, and his father still led the children in hunting, fighting, rock climbing, and dissection deep in the jungle day after day. Teach survival skills by precept and deeds. At night, they listened to classical music by the bonfire, learned musical...

    Positive review

    The first half of the film is a line-drawing of this little ideal country, with an idyllic vibe.
      On the long road to the funeral, the teenagers in the cities that passed by, as the one to be teased, are often full of brains, love junk food, and are ignorant of the essence of human history and philosophical history. And the children raised by "Wonderful Father" are quick to act, have clear and active thinking, have logic and judgment,...

    Movie quotes

    • Ben: Mom needs to be in the hospital right now.

      Vespyr: But you said hospitals are a great place to go if you're a healthy person and you want to die.

      Zaja: You said Americans are under-educated and over-medicated.

      Kielyr: You said the AMA are avaricious whores only too willing to spread their fat legs for big pharma.

      Ben: All those things are true. But mom does not have enough of the neurotransmitter serotonin to conduct electrical signals in her brain.

    • Vespyr: Yes, thank you, Zaj.

      Ben: Can unique be modified?

      Kids: [in unison] No.

      Nai: [in his froggy costume] We don't hate Nana and Grandpa, but the rest of their tribe are fascist capitalists.

      Kielyr: You're just repeating whatever dad says.

      Nai: [squinty-eyed] I'm writing down everything you say - in my mind.

      Kielyr: Do you even know what a fascist is?

      Nai: Violent nationalist militants, supported by big business, and they're totalitarian single-party dictators.

    • Ben: [Rellian is dangling from climbing rope] Rell? Can you flex your fingers? S-T-O-P. Stay calm, Think, Observe, and Plan.

      Zaja: If you hit the rocks below you, you'll die from blunt force trauma. Or internal bleeding from massive bone fracturing. Or splenic flexure of the large intestine.

      Ben: Yes, thank you, Zaj.
