Alone or Lonely?

A person's wilderness trekking can easily be understood as self-exile and redemption. Moreover, this is a film adapted from the autobiography of the same name. The filming method uses a diary-style "stream of life" to connect past events with constant "flashbacks" to trace the reason for this excursion. Mother's love, family love, loss, healing, and challenging the limits of herself with an impossible trip, Cheryl persisted to the end.
Everyone has their own unspeakable inner pain. Maybe you choose to laugh and pass by, but I believe that there will always be a certain place, a certain node, that you can touch inadvertently and cannot escape. Cheryl embarks on a difficult hike alone, challenging her own tolerance to resolve the loneliness deep inside, which is actually another kind of relief.
As far as this movie is concerned, the heroine chosen by the director is more wild and sexy than the real person in the original work, and the emotional interpretation of the characters is in place, worthy of being the queen of the movie. In addition, the poetic background music of the audience is also excellent. In short, my impression is 5 points overall! (ps: I accidentally clicked it on the plane. I only watched half of it, and when I got home, I downloaded the other half from Thunderbolt, which is a bit wrong.)

  • Cheryl: [Cheryl's first inscription on the trail guestbook] "If your Nerve, deny you - Go above your Nerve" - EMILY DICKINSON and Cheryl Strayed.

  • Cheryl: [voiceover] What if I forgive myself? What if I was sorry? But if I could go back in time, I wouldn't do a single thing differently. What if I wanted to sleep with every single one of those men? What if heroin taught me something? What if all those things I did were the things that got me here? What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?
