In some movies, people will argue about whether it looks good or not, and argue about whether the plot, performance, etc. are bad or not. But "Survival in the Wilderness" belongs to another category, from plot to performance, from photography to music, from atmosphere to emotion, it All have outstanding performances, and everyone revolves around the debate about their theme and their values, such as whether Christopher's choice is extreme, whether he is responsible, or whether it is worthy of beautification, and is worthy of praise. Look at it from another angle, suppose Christopher gave up a good life, went to a developing country to help the poor, and then died accidentally in a car accident, or a stray bullet, or a strange disease, then I am afraid that there will be a large range of greatness and death glorious praise; From another perspective, we all know that under religious beliefs, some people are willing to walk to the holy places, and they keep kowtow along the way. Their piety is moving and makes many people unavoidable, but in general, people who don’t understand will understand this. Based on different cultures, caused by the environment of life since childhood. Unlike Christopher, he grew up in a secular, mainstream environment, so others would naturally use mainstream concepts to evaluate his behavior first, but he chose an alienated way to experience his life instead of mainstream values. Under "a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is separated from low-level tastes, a person who is beneficial to the people", on the contrary, he is very selfish, or very selfish, and chooses himself Exile, choose to travel alone.
Why did Christopher choose to exile himself? Why did he want to go to Alaska with all his heart? Perhaps only he himself knows, and the film only reveals some of the reasons, such as the endless quarrels between his parents during the growth stage of the children. From my point of view, I understand Christopher’s choice, I understand all independent and “not evil” personal choices. Christopher chose a wandering road, like an extreme travel friend. He walked all the way and got to know different people. People have different life experiences. For example, this superior born person will have the experience of working on a harvester on a farm only when he is wandering like this. At the same time, his choice really hurts the parents' hearts, but in my opinion, it is like parents who insist that their children go to college, and he wants to engage in rock and roll. Such disagreements will inevitably make one party sad and disappointed. This is inevitable. It is also a wound that can often be healed. It is unreasonable to accuse him from the perspectives of patriarchy and filial piety. I was surprised that some people reacted fiercely to this movie and Christopher’s behavior. They said that this movie was beautifying death, and how Christopher actually feared to leave Alaska afterwards, and even found prototype materials and said for a long time, "You are being filmed." Cheated" posture. In fact, it’s just like the recent "team leader" producer saying that people who can’t understand the “team leader” should read novels first. Of course, the audience is perceiving and discussing the movie itself. It is right to provide some information to enrich the discussion. , But it is a bit nonsense to have a sense of superiority.
What is the film’s attitude towards Christopher’s behavior? Is it advocating self-exile? Is it beautifying death? I feel that this film is to show a different way of life and choices, and at the same time reveal its happiness and pain, and reveal its possible heavy price. The director of the film Sean Penn once famously said "If too many people like you, then you have done something wrong." So he chose such a theme to shoot with the flow, because Christopher's life is exactly Controversial life. In the film, Sean Penn showed us his happiness. He made many friends along the way, including a girl who admired him. He was so happy and so free in his relationship with them. At the same time, his pain is also shown in the film. In the wilderness, he could not effectively obtain things. He finally got it and couldn't save it. Finally he ate it in his mouth and poisoned things. It is best for him to die weakly for himself. The choice paid the price of life. This film reminds me of another madman Herzog’s documentary "Grizzly Man". In the film, there is also a person who bid farewell to the city and came to the wilderness. He was accompanied by the bear and eventually died in the hands of the grizzly. The same His choice is full of controversy, and it is also considered extreme by some people. However, I respect them and respect these young lives. Please don't worry that young people will follow suit in large numbers. Don't worry, the tragic death of the protagonist's last skinny skin will make everyone awake enough. And what Sean Penn really wants to express is not to inspire the young people to be like Christopher and to be unprepared and desperate, but to show a spirit of freedom, independence, and introspection, which I think. It is always positive for a person to extend the depth of life.
