As long as you walk, there will be encounters

Life is an adventure that never ends. As long as you walk, you will have beautiful encounters.

I haven't finished reading the book "Can't Cross the Mountains", so I first watched the movie "Walk in the Woods". Compared with the words of Bryson in the book, the movie lacks a lot of imagination, because the story is known in advance, so the plot of the movie is slightly plain. However, the picture and soundtrack are beautiful, and I try to retain some of the subtle dialogues in the book. There are both British humor and American funny. Two sunset red old men walked through the Appalachian trail between the mountains and mountains while reminiscing. -The longest mountain trail in the world.

The two elderly people in their old ages are certainly great after walking this mountain road, but the memories of the two people along the way are more like relive the long road of life. Whether it is Bryson, who seems to have all the winners in life, or Katz, who has been in chaos and downfall, faces the same doubts and difficulties at every key intersection in life. Face it and continue to go on is the only solution.

The charm of art is magical. If these travel trajectories, details of life, without written descriptions and video records, they are probably all ordinary. But once you describe and think concretely what happened in words, and relive it with images, the dull and boring story will be re-wrapped by a halo, thus warming more people.

As Xiang Biao said in his new book "Taking Oneself as a Method": "We care about the world, not just ourselves. Questioning personal experience is the beginning of understanding the world."

In "I can't live with the mountains", whether you can't live with the mountains or a certain kind of life, from the inability to the final passing, it is a process of clarifying yourself and understanding others.

And, we know that everything will pass.

    Obviously the director is not a person with outdoor experience, so he can't make the real walking feeling.

A Walk in the Woods quotes

  • Sam Bryson: It's just kinda insane, Dad. The whole thing, at your age? Fit people in their 20's can't do it, Dad. It takes five months and five millions steps.

    Bill Bryson: Of walking?

    Sam Bryson: Yes.

    Bill Bryson: I've been doing it for a while, you know.

    Sam Bryson: Dad, hiking is not walking. Two thousand people a year try to do this. Less than 10% make it.

    Bill Bryson: You ought to see the statistics on how many people finish writing a book.

  • Bill Bryson: So, how are you with bears?

    Stephen Katz: Well, they haven't gotten me yet.

    [laughs]

    Bill Bryson: Well, you know there can't be a black bear within 1,500 miles of Des Moines, Katz.

    Stephen Katz: That's what I'm saying, man. Those fuckers keep their distance.
