Oscar really owes Viggo a great actor. For me personally, Viggo's performance in Captain Fantastic was amazing...it was like a role made for him. He has multiple identities, poet, photographer, artist, and actor is just one of his side jobs. He's romantic and poetic by nature, and coupled with his uniquely deep voice, he's able to interpret the character with ease! It is also the pursuit of an ideal world. Ben, played by viggo in the play, seems a little paranoid and even resentful, but it is admirable. I can't find a standard explanation to interpret the values ​​conveyed by such a film, and I can't judge whether it is good or bad. There was a time when I envy such a family, being so close to nature, being able to light the bonfire in front of my log cabin deep in the jungle in the dark, and being able to read my book quietly; The father built his ideal world on his own children, so that they were completely derailed from the times. Facing the changes in the world, his usual training seemed powerless, and facing his mother's funeral, he dressed like he came out of a circus. At one point I wondered why someone could do such crazy things when they were sad. But then I understood that the passing of life is just a reincarnation. The last wish of my mother and wife is to make their lives still full of joy and carols at the end. So in the end, there will be a plot where a big family dug up the coffin and cremated again. Only they can do such a crazy act! The last father chose a compromise point, and it is also the situation I most want to see! Having said so much, I can't give what this movie really wants to tell. Many people gave very low marks and criticized the father's imposition of ideas, but I don't think the movie itself is meant to praise anyone. , Who said that the things presented in this way must be right, so the five stars is to give it to my thinking and criticism!

    Full of self-righteous arrogance and sickening hypocrisy from an adult perspective. Do you think that you can really become a utopia by rejecting labels and breaking away from moral constraints? Independent thinking is of course very important, and I also agree with some of my father's educational views and ideas, but when I think about it, I still think it's too fucking hypocritical and disgusting.

    The margin of speculation, the courage to resist, the decisive action, the perseverance, the thirst for exploration, the savage strength, and the self-discipline of civilization. This group of children are ideal citizens of Plato, a perfect combination of Sparta and Athens. Under the conflict, what is ignorant and ridiculous is the modern education system and lifestyle. It's just that this is too ideal, and it loses the ultimate support for persuasiveness. The end of the road is a balance. Someday someone will make a film about Rousseau's education.

  • Rellian: What kind of crazy person celebrates Noam Chomsky's birthday like it's some kind of official holiday? Why can't we celebrate Christmas like the rest of the entire world?

    Ben: You would prefer to celebrate a magical fictitious elf, instead of a living humanitarian who's done so much to promote human rights and understanding?

  • Ben: It's a beautiful mistake. But a mistake.
