Traveling through mountains and rivers is a false proposition

Before the end of the film, the little boy's soft song "Red River Valley" made me sad. Just when I wanted to secretly wipe my tears, Cheryl knelt down on the muddy country road and burst into tears. The human spirit really has many things in common. After watching this movie on and off for a few days, it seems like a flashback of my own life, so long and without end. And the boy's innocent singing accompanied by the light rain, as if the sound of nature shines into the dark and useless life.

Can a person be cured so easily? Just like we drink a bowl of chicken soup, we can fight for three days, and once we get chicken blood, we can last for a week. Can we really be moved by such little things and change our lives?

Cheryl is a loser in life, she is far away from her father, she sends away her mother, she takes drugs, promiscuity, she sends her marriage away, and she corrupts her body. She lives numbly and hates herself. Get up and walk, she said one day, so she carried an oversized bag and walked for more than three months. It seems that Cheryl has discovered the true meaning of life through this journey and wants to live a good life. But in fact, the important thing is not to travel through mountains and rivers, and no matter how much pain the body suffers, it cannot solve the problems of life at all. In the movie "Wild Survival" with a similar theme, the hero is a young and promising college graduate. He suddenly finds that life is meaningless. He abandons everything and goes to the wilderness to be alone. life. "The world is so big, I want to see it" is a false proposition, people just can't bear the boredom and emptiness day after day, trying to find something while walking.

So what can solve the problem? I think there are only two points, one is the deep pain, and the other is down to earth. Cheryl's mother, in the film is beautiful, young, vibrant, tough and inspiring. When the camera was aimed at her, it was filled with soft light, and she was always smiling. My mother is in her 40s and still works hard to go to school. My mother is lying on the sickbed, smiling despite her weakness. It was such a mother who left Cheryl, and in Cheryl's scarred life, the only light was extinguished. The pain was so deep that Cheryl kept trying to escape and still couldn't escape. And Cheryl started from being unable to carry her luggage at all, and the hiking lasted for several months. This persistence may also come from her mother's inheritance. As mentioned earlier, travel and hiking are often false propositions, because a person simply cannot reach that depth, and can communicate with nature and talk to himself. If you look around like a tourist, it's just hypocritical. Only when you have had a painful moment will you have an opportunity for epiphany, you will know that what you have lost has been lost, and you will try your best to live every day in the future. Only by walking step by step down-to-earth will you have time to think, observe, and comprehend.

The young man in "Survival in the Wilderness" finally refused to come back. I think it was because his life was too smooth. He saw the chaos in life, but he didn't have that kind of painful moment, and he couldn't find the mission that made him come back. And there are still many people who have been confused and heart-piercing, but can't face themselves, can't make a little change, have pain, but can't be down-to-earth, their name is loser.

In fact, a person cannot evaluate other people's lives , hiking can be fitness, can exercise willpower, but also perilous, many other things are the same. Cheryl's life was turned upside down because she was a strong woman, she always knew what her mother expected of her, and the hike was just an opportunity.
