Questions about bears

On the last day of the holiday, I watched the film adaptation of A Walk in the Woods "Walk in the Woods". Some movies are not suitable for watching after reading the book. They are as boring as chewing bagasse. The forest seen from the text is always bigger and boundless than the camera lens. The author's extensive narration of the natural and social history of the eastern United States is also difficult to convey in a short film line.

An interesting adaptation is that the author has been scared and silently looking forward to encountering a bear in the book.

In the book, he bought a bear prevention manual. In the manual, the experts said that you should not run away when encountering a bear. You must yell and confront the bear. He complained that you can do it. Anyway, I want to Running. Then in the last few chapters of the book, he finally met a bear while camping at night. He and his companion searched for a long time without finding the Swiss Army Knife, so they could only tremble while holding the nail clippers... After several pages of thrilling psychological descriptions, the bear, coldly and disdainfully, turned his head and left silently...

In the movie, they are like this:

Then I suddenly remembered the notice I saw when I went hiking nearby a month ago:

When encountering a cougar, try to be more fierce than it! If it attacks you, fight back! It seems that from 1996 to 2019, the opinions of experts are still very consistent.

    It's a bit far worse than the book. The filming is done, and it will give people a sense of inexplicable filming. The book is really beautiful. Back then, when I held the handrail on the subway, I didn't dare to laugh out loud and my body twitched and twitched.

A Walk in the Woods quotes

  • Stephen Katz: In your absence, my romantic life has taken a turn for the better. Remember the laundromat? Her name is Beulah.

    Bill Bryson: Seriously?

    Stephen Katz: Yeah, seriously. And she's got a beautiful body. Buried under two hundred pounds of fat. But then, you know I kinda like a little meat on the bone.

    Bill Bryson: Sure, as long as you don't have to remove a wall to get her out of the house.

  • Stephen Katz: [about his whiskey bottle] You know, Bryson, I wasn't actually hiding this. I wasn't lying about being dry either. The thing is, Bryson, I love to drink. Everything about it. I love the taste. And that buzz you get after you've had a couple. I love the smell of the tavern, right down to the urinal cakes. Hmm. But instead of going into the taverns like everybody else, I go home to my little apartment, and heat my TV dinner, and feel all virtuous like I'm supposed to.

    Stephen Katz: But you know, night after night it's hard to persuade yourself that you're living a rich and thrilling existence. I mean, if they had a fun-o-meter the needle wouldn't exactly be jumping into the orgasmic zone. You know what I'm saying?

    [sighs]

    Stephen Katz: I mean, there's just this hole in my life where drinking used to be.

    [sighs heavily]

    Stephen Katz: I know I can't drink. I mean, one drink will lead to 10. And the next thing, I'll find myself underneath a bridge somewhere.

    Stephen Katz: That's why I carry this. To remind myself that I can. Or maybe I carry it in case I can't.
