Be wary of a world where everything is uniform and there is no heterogeneity

Captain Fantastic

Not only is the physical wildness and the feeling of returning to nature, but also the spiritual knowledge of various philosophies and politics at your fingertips. Undoubtedly, this kind of education achieves extraordinary physical and mental strength, which is amazing, but I always seem a little strange.

Where is the strangeness?

First, why should we abandon the material achievements of human beings in modern civilization and impose a Platonic ideal state? Why not combine the two? Extremes turn into opposites. The disrespect, disdain or lack of understanding of the opposite in the film are all mutual. Why should you stand on the side of the protagonist?

Second, educating 6 children of different ages by oneself, it is hard to believe that everything is so smooth, and there will be no children who are rebellious and disobedient? Is there no child who is dumber than other children, or has some conflicts? Only one of the children had doubts once, but only for the death of their mother, and then forgot about it. 100% support, all together, and there is no so-called "heterogeneous" between them, which looks terrible. Isn't that the same with religious or brainwashed agreement? For people in society they are independent minds because they are different from most people, but what about among them? Everyone seems to be carved out of a mold, right? Just another control.

Suddenly I became very interested in Taoist thought and wanted to study it.

    A bunch of savages, you can go into seclusion without following the "rules" of this world, but at least you have to respect it, what's the difference between humans and animals? What did you teach your child? If you have the ability, you can really hide in the forest and live a primitive life, what to steal and what to drive? Naked in the park, I rely on really hot eyes~ What are you doing with those survival skills? Is the world going to end? The child is completely ruined~ No wonder my wife committed suicide~

    Having seen too much realism, here is a thoroughly idealistic experiment, perhaps extreme but still a choice of its own. The ideal life is a process of continuous adjustment and evolution to integrate with nature and society. With a strong body, strong will, independent thinking and personality, and love, it must be supplemented by a soft heart to open. Plus, survival in the wild doesn't save postpartum depression.

Captain Fantastic quotes

  • Bo: We're just back in the states because of my dad's sabbatical. He's writing a book on Dr. Spock.

    Claire: Oh, I love Star Trek.

  • Ellen: [intercepting Bo & Claire on their way to a tryst] It's almost midnight. I sincerely hope you two lovebirds haven't been doing what I think you've been doing.

    Bo: [talking rapidly] I know what you think. But I know that your daughter has taught me many things just now. She has broadened my mind, she has helped me grow. When we just kissed for the first time just then, it... The endorphins that your daughter sent through my body were like dolphins swimming through my bloodstream. The way she has opened me up, she has penetrated deep inside of me, and I know that I have penetrated deep, deep inside of your daughter. And... but not-not like that. I would love to when... When it's necessary for... I, I want kids someday. Not right now, of course.

    Bo: [turning to speechless Claire] But when you're ready, when I'm ready, because I think this should be a shared decision. This is a decision that we should make together. But when you are ready, I will be ready. I am ready for you, if you will have me... Claire... What's your last name?
