Peaceful travel with only compass, dog and camel

I clicked on the link of this video several times but failed to download it. The name and introduction did not particularly attract me to see it. After downloading it by accident, I decided to take a look, but I didn't hold high expectations, such as those commercial giants with excessive publicity. The film has always been calm, just like in the original book, it has always been calm. In the vast desert, the sudden emergence of tourists and reporters appearing very abrupt and untimely, but it’s the untimely appearance of the protagonist’s heart. The gratuitous rejection of strangers brought about by loneliness and prolonged loneliness. This is a journey work. Unlike the road movie, the road movie always has a repaired road, just drive it up. No extreme circumstances, people are safe and they will definitely reach their destination. But in the desert, there is no road. There is only a compass and accompanying dog and camel. The compass cannot be lost. In the end, dogs and camels are more spiritual sustenance. The love segment in the work is a little bit abrupt, but it is necessary for life, so the story should continue to develop like this. The protagonist says that she is sometimes lost and doesn't know what the purpose of doing this is. He just knows that her father has traveled across Africa, as if she wants to prove something. But her goal is clear, that is to reach the destination. With this goal, every day she can get up, eat, walk, camp... and continue all the activities that a life should do. Perhaps the same is true for each of us in real life, one thing will have a result if you do it, it is the result you want, it is a kind of proof and a kind of recognition for yourself. Without a good road, there will be accidents like'wild camels in estrus'. Protection may require tools, but it is more about facing these accidents with a strong heart. It seems that the male reporter in the film puts a water tank on the road so that she can walk down, but why he did this, I think he admires her, he can't do it, he can't do it with a few camels. To, because that was not his goal, from this perspective, it was still her personal victory. In this world, we always say that unity is strong, but have we neglected that unity can only be achieved when individuals are strong. This work is a story of a person. The author may simply record the bits and pieces of the journey, but this plain narrative technique allows the viewers to think about the problems and the problems of the journey every minute.

    I think the director tried his best to show that this girl is a friend by our side. She is just doing what we think in our hearts and can’t, but dare not do. She is ordinary and not that crazy. It's just that the wilderness survival part is an understatement.

    Certainly not a documentary, certainly not a National Geographic promotional film, as long as you have been ecstatic when you can only see the magnificent scenery of nature for a few days, and then experience the psychological gap of returning to a big city, you can Find infinite inspiration in this film
