Wild, translated from Chinese as "Walking into the Wilderness", may be to create a tense atmosphere due to the unknown, and even bring a bit of reverie that may be horrifying, but nothing happened. The film presents an indescribable narrative technique A natural state, a natural state of human nature and nature.
Hiking in the wilderness, alone, without any experience, carrying a large backpack like a "monster", walking on a desolate field, no people, no scenery, stepping, crossing the night, crossing fear, crossing hunger and thirst, Over loneliness, over hurt, over physical pain, over soul lost.
The daughter who lives in the chicken soup of her mother's soul, facing the sudden death of her mother, the whole world collapses in an instant. Just like a kite without a string, it begins to follow the waves, allowing itself to be immersed in the stimulation of the senses for liberation. Drugs, sex abuse, loved ones gone, homelessness.
The film keeps switching shots during the heroine’s walk and memories. Each scene seems random, but it’s actually meticulous: the structured sequential scenes are disrupted and then re-attached to the experiences of the walk. In the lost eyes of the heroine, in the monologue of the heroine's soul, and in the heroine's non-stop footsteps, I experience everything the heroine has experienced: the father who is alcoholic and domestic violence, the mother who always laughs at life, once full of love The life of her mother's sudden death from illness is willing to sink, struggling between her mother's hope and her inner loss. From the No quit revelation from the old couple they met when they were hungry, to the warm encouragement from the camp friends, to the queen in the mouth of mountain walkers, the heroine has walked all the way, harmoniously integrated with nature, and faced her mother and herself all the way. Finally, after meeting a little boy who goes hiking once a week under the leadership of his grandmother, he said indifferently that "everyone has their own problems and their own problems", and finally reconciled with their own problems.
At the end of the film, after more than four years of walking, the heroine came to the Bridge of Gods and became the person my mother hoped to cultivate, a person with more experience. In the end, she becomes a mother like a mother. In Western language, the heroine has completed her own redemption.
However, I don't think this word full of religious sentiments can express the emotion of the film. The heroine is not redeeming, but returning, returning to the original ecology of human beings in nature, the natural essence of human ancestors.
