I'm wild

When the doctor solemnly told Ben, who was sitting across from him, that he had cancer, and that he had reached a terminal stage, he could not live for two or three years at most, Ben, who had no psychological preparation, was like an ordinary person, and he became a dead man. Knowing that the cure rate was 10%, he seemed to be secretly relieved again, he wouldn't live long anyway, and he would only know if he could be the lucky one, why not calm down a bit? The bad news was so sudden, it was inevitable that I was a little lost. I happened to meet an uncle who sold motorcycles at the intersection, so I happened to meet this good mount that accompanies him to travel all over the west. Everything was so sudden and unpredictable.
What if anyone else heard the worst news in the world? The reflection should be in a variety of poses, with five thunders hitting the top? Instant collapse? Howling? Immediate treatment? Or do you choose to end your life and be completely free? In short, really, no one can be calm. Ben's performance was much calmer than that. Looking back on his past life experiences, he was just like him now, neither salty nor bland, neither painful nor itchy, boring like a glass of boiled water, boring like his lectures in the classroom.
Ben, is an ordinary person; Ben, really can't find any experience worth showing off; Ben, doesn't even know why his fiancée loves him, in short, Ben, is an ordinary or even mediocre person, randomly following the world The footsteps of living a secular life, I don't know if I like this kind of life, I don't know how I feel in my heart, and it seems that I don't need to be clear.
Sudden cancer gave him the chance to restart his life, and in what may have been his last days, he chose to go west on a motorcycle. Disregarding the opposition of his family, he embarks on an unknown road. At first, I was wandering like a wandering without a purpose, lonely and confused. However, when I kept encountering different people and different things happened, the journey began to become meaningful, full of the charm of adventure, and at the same time, I left Familiar people and things, leaving the trivial and irritable life, Ben is rare to face himself quietly and think about himself. He thought of his fiancee Sam. After Ben left, the two kept in touch by phone from time to time, which made him calm down and see the relationship and future of the two. He wanted to marry Sam because she loved him, but did he love her? Is his marriage proposal really willing?
There are many things that are second best, neither hate nor liking, it seems that it can be passed; many things, it seems that it can be established casually. Levels and boundaries are blurred for mediocre life. People will choose "a safe choice", why embarrass yourself? Why are you different from others? Wouldn't it be simpler?
A one-person trip completely changed the trajectory of Ben's life. Ben, who was once full of mediocrity and failure, breathed the air of freedom, saw the magnificent beauty of life, and experienced the joy, gratitude and enjoyment of life. Breaking through the shackles of reality and worldliness, facing myself, finding myself, looking for childhood dreams, and chewing the pleasure of freedom.
He honestly confessed his heart and finally cancelled the wedding with Sam. Sam was worried that the world would misunderstand her because of this, but Ben didn't think so, because he was no longer bound by these rules and regulations, so what if he had no faith? What about breaking up the engagement? The most important thing is to find yourself, to be clear, clear, and magnanimous, so that you can live a free, true and happy life.
The film about Ben looking for a spirit beast is interspersed with it. No one knows what the spirit beast looks like. Ben's father just said that if you see it, you will recognize it. Whether it exists or not, and whether Ben finds it, doesn't seem to be that important. The important thing may be the process. In the process of searching for the spirit beast, you may have other unexpected gains, and those gains may be your spirit beasts.
The film doesn't seem to describe Ben's late-stage cancer, which is worse than death, and the struggle with the disease. From the beginning to the end, the hero's experience and thoughts on his journey and his thoughts on life and life, and finally completed the journey, Completed the adventure and completed this self-redemption.
At the end of the film, an elderly Ben is reading the end of his new book. He was not killed by a terminal illness, and his dream of publishing a book has also come true. It is a miracle, and the miracle is created by: struggle, search, pursuit and never compromise.
