People who are sick know better how they are alive than people who are not sick

Before watching "Leave No Trace", the most impressive thing about the sea of ​​trees was a Japanese movie "Aokihara Tree Sea". Aokihara is a suicide forest under Mount Fuji. Many people escape from the city and escape from real life. Choose to end your life in this forest. The search and rescue team in this forest has never been to find the living, but to find the remains, and the beautiful Aoki has become the most popular suicide shrine in Japan. The same is the sea of ​​trees, "Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees" is towards death, and "Leave No Trace" is towards life. But what are you living for? The father who suffers from PTSD chooses to stay away from society, live in seclusion in the forest, and refuses kindly help. Even when his daughter wants to live stably in the garage, he chooses to leave his only relative and walks into the dense forest without hesitation. It's not that he doesn't love his children, but he is more willing to live according to his heart. People who are sick know what they want better than people who are not sick. Looking at us living in modern social civilization, we live in habitual groups. What we know as "life" is nothing more than buying a house, looking for a job, having children, raising children, and then dying of old age. This is generally accepted and recognized by the public. If you leave this template, you will be regarded as an outlier in the crowd, and you will become a patient who needs to be solved and helped in the eyes of normal people. They will feed you ideas over and over again until you are also mechanically alive and become their kind...

    In fact, this is an anti-war movie about a veteran suffering from incurable PTSD and fleeing society with his daughter, away from the crowd. Dear father, although we are the closest people, we are independent individuals, so we do not aggrieve ourselves to follow each other, so even if we are reluctant, we must take different paths. We look up at the same night sky together and pray for each other's well-being.

    A very subtle movie. The heroine's acting is the main point, a bit like Jennifer Lawrence back then, but I believe it will go further. Compare the tension between "Leaving Las Vegas", also a man who is suffering self-destruction, and the last person in the world who loves him. Very recommended.
