Based on the autobiography of Cheryl Thred, Cheryl has to conquer the famous Pacific Crest Trail. This "trail" runs through the three states of California, Oregon and Washington in the western United States. The southern end is the border between the United States and Mexico, and the northern end is the border between the United States and Canada. The total length is more than 4,000 kilometers. The scenery along the way is beautiful, so it attracts a lot of hiking. lovers.
The heroine Cheryl was depressed for a long time after the death of her mother. She was almost completely depressed. Her beloved mother died of illness. She fell into the whirlpool of drugs and promiscuity and couldn't extricate herself. She lost her happiness, her husband, and lost her She didn't quite understand why she had been living in such a chaotic life. When she had an abortion, she read a book about hiking in the Pacific Ridge, so she packed her bags without careful preparation and decided to walk alone. On the long trek that started in Mexico and ended in Canada, I hope to find the lost self in one hike like many people.
The heroine's psychological activities during this long journey are the focus of the film's narrative. The development of the plot has always been carried out by walking and recalling. There are many difficulties in the process of walking, and she intends to give up countless times. She has 10,000 reasons to give up, maybe it is She was too painful and depressed before, but this huge psychological pressure pushed her to take every step firmly.
Cheryl is inexperienced and alone. During the journey, she gradually changed from inconspicuous little things and inability to adapt. She found the road of redemption through heavy walking. Maybe she really wants to reach her heart, and she needs to destroy her body first. Countless times, relying on her own beliefs to move forward all the way, discarding all kinds of messes, mixed feelings, bitter and happy past in the process of walking, just like the old man helping her discard many unnecessary things in her bag, for the sake of the body Lighten up your mind and body.
In the final analysis, what she wants to conquer is not the road under her feet, but her own heart. What impressed me the most was the appearance of the little boy, with his tender voice, pure eyes, and instantly moving. At the end of the film, in that long monologue, the heroine finally got what she wanted.
"Ending Monologue" No one knows how to do one thing well. Maybe you can do one thing well, but not the other. What if I lose myself? What if I start to regret it? If God gave me another chance, I'd still do the same thing. Do I just want to sleep in the wild with these maps? What if she didn't teach me these things? What if all I did was to lure me here? What if I had never been redeemed? It took me years to make me the kind of woman my mom wanted me to be It took me 4 years, 7 months and 3 days to do this on my own After missing the landscape I finally found my way I don't know Where can I go along the way Thank you I think about the past life time and time again and I know a lot of things even those you don't know... I realize that I can go on living the good things have been through so many but never end those good things are Everything I have My life is just like everyone else Beautiful and mysterious So close at hand as they are mine
———————————————————————— Pacific Ridge National Trail Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Vast American Wild West Country: United States Length: 4265 km Total Hike Time: 3 -Best hiking season in 5 months: April-October Potential risks: sparsely populated areas, heavy rain, snow trekking, snow climbing and falling, hypothermia and frostbite, desert heatstroke, rattlesnakes, overwhelming mosquitoes, summer lightning, etc.
Since the United States enacted the National Trail System Act in 1968, the United States has named a total of 11 national-level scenic trails, the Pacific Ridge Trail, which was one of the first trails the government decided to plan, along with the other two Appalachian Trails (Appalachian Trail). AT) and the Continental Divide Trail, which runs through the eastern, western, and central United States, known as the trekking triple crown, is the ultimate dream of many hikers. The three existing roads range from 3,500 kilometers to 5,000 kilometers, and each line needs to be fully covered, ranging from three or four months to half a year. The most relaxed and humanistic atmosphere is AT, which shows the wilderness of the eastern United States. From Maine to Georgia, it spans 14 states, crosses eight national forests, two national parks, and crosses a highway every 6.4 kilometers, passing through countless towns. This eastern wilderness has impressed many literati, including Bill Bryson's 1998 "A Walk in the Woods" (A Walk in the Woods) that made the route world famous.
But if we talk about the richness of landscape changes, it is none other than PCT. The trend of the PCT basically follows the Cascade Mountains and the highest ridges of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the western United States, starting from the U.S.-Canada border in the north and the U.S.-Mexico border in the south, running through three states including Washington, Oregon and California, passing through 25 national forests along the way. And 7 national parks, followed by Red Shirt, Yosemite, Lassen Volcano, Crater Lake, Mount Rainier, and North Cascot, showing the vast western wilderness of the United States. From high and low altitude deserts, virgin forests, jungles, and moss, to river valleys, mountain streams, waist-deep snow, and mountain passes, it includes all terrains except rain forests and extremely low altitudes.
Hikers generally start from the U.S.-Mexico border to the U.S.-Canada border, begin hiking in April and arrive in September. According to the relatively distinct geographical characteristics, the whole journey is divided into 4 parts: the 1000-kilometer desert area with sparse water sources and the danger of rattlesnakes, it will take about a month to walk; the 800-kilometer Sierra Nevada, facing snow-capped mountains, deep streams, Mosquitoes, low temperatures, etc., about 1 month; 860 kilometers of open ridges and jungles, about 20 days; 731 kilometers of forest, about 20 days; 800 kilometers of bad weather, about 25 days. The number of replenishments in the whole process is about 30-40 times, and the replenishment is obtained every 4-5 days. The highest point is Forest Man Pass 4,009 meters, and the lowest point is the Columbia River Valley, which is close to sea level, with frequent ups and downs. The fastest crossing record in history is 59 days. Some people complete it twice from south to north and from north to south in one season, and some people choose to live on the trail for many years.
