Have you ever been on a pilgrimage?

No, I was always too busy when I was young, and now I am too old.

This movie will make people think about the parent-child relationship, that is, the partner can always be chosen, but the parents of the child cannot choose. If your child likes to go off the beaten path, take risks, or even engage in activities that can lose his life at any time, what should you say as a parent? do, and vice versa for child and parent roles.

The journey is boring and tiring, but why is it so attractive, that you can feel the warmth of an unexpected encounter after a bad experience, everything is unknown, everything is fresh, constantly breaking prejudice and regaining a new life.

Although the old man wants to walk the road his son has traveled to see if he can understand more about his son, but the journey ahead is rushing. Instead, he resented the loss of his son's life because of the pilgrimage. He was full of disdain for this belief and thought it was not worth it. Gradually, he walked with strangers, quarreled, and finally embraced sincerely and took care of each other. Because of a certain belief, it is very pure and precious to be together, and I found that there is no "real pilgrim". Those rules are meaningless, that is, the end of the journey is not the most important thing.

People who embark on a pilgrimage because they want to quit smoking smoke all the way, and those who embark on a pilgrimage because they want to lose weight can't control their love for food. The writer of the journey thinks that this road is the way to find meaning and get inspiration, but in fact the road is just the road, that is, after he sees that the road is just the road, he is not so obsessed with the destination, but he has harvested the best story of the journey. Those who embark on this road because they want to understand their son and embark on a pilgrimage do not have to really fully understand their son after the journey. This road, for their own life, has gained enough things.

In short, simple things do take a little patience to appreciate. This movie is slow, but not boring, but the simpler it is, the more reminiscent it is, and there are a lot of thoughts, which is not easy.

    "I'm on the road desperately just to be by your side"

    Like a sequel to Wilderness Survival. Many times you walk a path for the sake of one person. I know this feeling very well. Northern Xinjiang and Medog, which may not be possible. This piece reminds me of my hiking time in England, Germany, and Austria. It's true and happy. A arduous journey, reconciling with yourself, cheering with the past, saying goodbye to the memories.
