In short, everything that is not contained by the net can be called a wild land.
But the crowded circle did not crowd out the whole big circle. There was a small circle around it. Its status seemed precarious, because it was being eroded and captured every day. Some people call this "civilization" "the process of. There are a group of people scattered here, who can't integrate into the mainstream circles anyway, and can only wander outside alone, thinking that they have abandoned society, not that society has abandoned them.
The film is about the escape of two "savages".
Ricky Baker, a typical "problem boy", the person in charge of the orphanage is very familiar with his misdeeds: rebellion, stealing, spitting, running away, throwing stones, kicking things, destroying public property, setting fire, graffiti, fooling around all day, He was sent to the countryside when no family was willing to adopt him. [The adoptive family in the countryside was also secretly rejected].
Ricky's mother gave birth to him when he was a teenager, unable to support him, and sent him to an orphanage. Ricky didn't let himself suffer, he grew into a fat boy, and the plump fat made him walk like a waddling penguin. His character is an untamable, unrestrained wild horse, no one loves him, so he doesn't care.
If there was anyone who volunteered to go from "civilized" to "barbarian", it was Ricky. He lives in mainstream circles and does everything he can to make people there hate him. He was wearing a pair of jeans, a colorful hoodie, a red baseball jacket folded over it, and a baseball cap buttoned over his head. The zipper of his hoodie can be zipped straight to the top of his head, a trick he often uses to isolate himself from the outside world.
After getting out of the car, Ricky looked around the house, went back to the car without saying a word, and closed the door decisively. Obviously, the environment here was so shabby that he broke down. Children in the city despise the living conditions in the countryside. This plot is quite similar to the New Zealand version of Metamorphoses. Ricky tried to run away that night, but he failed just after walking 200 meters.
Bella was the first to make him feel loved, she knew how to keep his body warm and his heart warm. She put a hot water bottle in Ricky's quilt and gave him a dog for his birthday, the first time Ricky called her auntie.
Ricky asked Hector why he didn't have a baby with Bella
"just can't."
"It's not fair, some people can't have a baby, and some people have a baby and don't want it."
"Like my mom."
Bella from the start He showed unusual enthusiasm for Ricky. Between Bella and Hector, Bella is undoubtedly the more humane one, and more involved in the world. Although she also mastered "barbarian" survival skills, such as single-handedly killing a wild boar with a short knife, splashing blood on her face scared Ricky, who called herself "gangster" unconscious.
But she is more like a person in mainstream society, with normal behavior, high emotional intelligence, hard-working, capable, and kind. She told Ricky that she was from the forest, which was ruthlessly exposed by Hector after her death, and Hec said Bella was here to save him, to save him, a total eccentric, out of touch, illiterate bachelor, and she too Ricky, who seemed "incurable" and indifferent to anything.
The screenwriter pushed Bella into the role of an angel, and Bella did a great job both as a wife and as a mother. But as long as she exists, Ricky and Hector will not be able to form a real communication. In order to tie them together, to show how two hard rocks without adhesives can be made together, the screenwriter resolutely Bella is "taken away" in the first half of the film, and Ricky and Hector's escape begins.
They were pursued by the orphanage, the police, the army, and even a helicopter. The women in the orphanage followed the principle of "no child left behind" and insisted on taking him away regardless of Ricky's wishes. In their opinion, adoptive families without a mother were "ineligible". Ironically, Ricky felt that the orphanage and all the adoptive families they had found for him were "juvenile institutions". They never cared about the happiness of their own lives, they only knew that they would do everything possible to control it and subdue it to satisfy them. A boring sense of accomplishment. He would rather live the life of a savage in the deep mountains and old forest than go back there.
Ricky ran away again, he was successfully lost in the forest, Hector was forced to search for him, causing the two to disappear for two weeks, and it was made up as Hector kidnapped Ricky. Later, they met three hunters in the forest. Because of Ricky's wrong expression, Hector was mistaken for a pervert who molested children [this part is particularly exciting], and the situation became more serious. If caught, Hector will not escape prison. After the disaster, Ricky had to return to the juvenile detention center. The ruthless old man and the troubled boy quickly reached an agreement, plunged into the vast forest, and began to flee without looking back.
"Chasing the Barbarian" divides the movie into several chapters, each chapter is not long, but has its own name, for example, Chapter 1 A Real Bad Egg, which is very similar to the narrative method of a novel, not in a hurry , eloquently. My favorite character is Sam, a lunatic who likes to dress himself up as a bush, known as "psycho Sam", one of the fringe people, living alone in the forest, crazy. He is familiar with the law of the jungle, but he can't adapt to the rules of society. He said, "No matter what you want to do in this life, you have to fill out the form." This point, I deeply agree.
This is a healing comedy. Although it is healed, it has absolutely no embarrassing sensational scenes. At most, it is moved by "moisturizing things without sound", just like the poem
"Trees, birds, rivers, sky" written by Ricky .
Running with my Uncle Hec.
Living forever.”
(Green trees, birds, rivers, blue sky.
Escape with my Uncle Hec.
Never part.)
Friends who like light comedy can take a look. There are resources on station B. The forests of New Zealand are really magnificent~
Too many good-looking people, too few interesting souls
