1. The translation of the title is a bit weird, and it doesn't seem to match the content of the film. Judging from the English name, the meaning probably refers to a very extreme situation (in order to highlight the fragility and glory of human nature), and it is indeed not easy to translate. 2. The two main characters (old rich man and young photographer) in the film are set in an extreme environment-deserted wilderness, valleys, endless virgin forests, the two are suffering from hunger, cold, fear, exhaustion, The torture of despair, and the need to escape the hunt of wild bears, the process can be described as thrilling and dangerous! However, what is actually more dangerous is the human heart and human nature! The old rich man’s suspicion is right. The photographer is indeed having an affair with his young and beautiful wife, and he is plotting to kill him in order to seize the family property. However, the mutual assistance and life-and-death encounters on the escape route gave them a new perspective on each other and subtle changes in their hearts. 3. The real climax of the film is not the gripping scene of catching bears and killing bears, but the psychological confrontation when their cards are exposed after they are expected to escape! Anger, jealousy, hatred, greed, hesitation... a huge wave was set off in the hearts of the two people, which constituted a thrilling tension with the seemingly calm and slow dialogue between the two. 4. What moved me most was the forgiveness and rescue of the rich old man to the photographer, and the confession of the photographer before his death. At this moment, they all defeated themselves! ~ 5. The most shocking thing is the death of the photographer. At the moment when he is about to be rescued, when the hope of life finally appeared before his eyes (seeing the helicopter), he died. His death was not just because of his severe injuries, but I think the more deadly one should be heart failure. Fear, exhaustion, despair, jealousy, and greed entangled his heart, and in extreme environments, this power was infinitely amplified. In his confession and apology to the rich old man, he was relieved. 6. Towards the end of the film, I have been wondering how the old rich man will treat his wife when he returns, because he is not the same as he was yesterday. At the end of the film, he hugged his wife affectionately and expressed his love to her in a tactful way. When answering reporters about how his companion died, he looked into the distance with tears in his eyes, and said lightly that he died to save him. This answer is full of profound meaning. In fact, he is mainly rescuing his companions along the way, and the so-called “saving him” by his companions, I want to refer to the experience of desperate escape and the successive deaths of his companions, which made him understand the narrowness and blankness of his past life. , There is a sense of being reborn.
