In addition to not accepting the old, what else does this movie remind me of

Shanghai has been very cold these past two days, and a few films are ready to be cooked slowly. Among them is this very alternative and warm old and beautiful walking film-"Walking in the Woods". The overall tone of the film is slow and slow, there is no special climax, and it is very quiet, but it makes you unable to stop, and it ends in a blink of an eye.
The story is about Bill Bryson, a writer who was born in the United States and lived in the United Kingdom for more than 10 years. One day, he appeared on a TV show. The host asked him why he didn’t write about his country’s customs. After attending a friend’s funeral, one day, he He found that near his residence was the starting point of the famous American trekking trail, the Appalachian Trail, so he made a decision to walk this 3,000-kilometer-long mountain trail with his feet. I don’t know if this trekking trail can be Baidu on its own. Laomei is still worth learning for building a mature trekking route. After sending countless invitations to friends I knew around him, most of the received were ridicule and incomprehension. There was only one young partner who was told and was not directly invited—Kates was willing to accompany him to take this risk. And this buddy spent most of his life on drinking and picking up girls. When he saw the various medals and honors in Bryson's room, his heart was both joyful and lonely. And this grandpa-level figure is a fat guy who likes to eat snacks and has a set of prostheses on his legs. Seeing his figure can only one idea, can this work? Along the way, the two started quarreling with each other, staying in a hotel for one or two nights, to reminiscing the past, counting the past experience of picking up girls, to being trapped on the hillside and watching the stars together and sighing about life, which is embarrassing.
The two shots that impressed me most were the two shots. One was when the two of them were bickering and saw that the front was wide open. They looked up at the mountains and they were all dumbfounded. The background was elongated, and only small figures and majestic figures were seen. mountain peak.
Another shot was Kates taking out the bottle of wine. He said that I didn’t want to hide this bottle of wine. I love to drink very much. I love the smell and the pleasant mood after a few sips. But I But I don’t go to a pub to drink. I’m often alone at home warming up food and watching TV drinking and drinking. Thinking about the glamorous years of my youth, everyone will face the fact that life is not full and exciting every day, but now I am a quit. It's wine, I brought this bottle of wine just to remind myself that I can do it, of course, I can take a sip if I really can't do it. When he asked Bryson if he believed he could do it, Bryson gave his old friend a Yes, so he shook his hands and spilled the wine, and laughed that it was a very romantic moment.
People should be afraid of getting old, especially afraid of hearing that people around them get this disease in their twilight years, and who and who has passed away again, seems to be alive and waiting for the end of this? Days are no longer full and exciting every day So, the protagonist packs up, takes dry food, and walks into the forest, trying to break the status quo, looking for something that is not in a comfortable life. The whole film is a walking tour seen from Bryson’s perspective. There is a lot of pavement for why he embarked on this crazy journey, and Kates’s psychological description is a hidden line, but you can feel it from some of their conversations in the forest. Arrived, maybe to escape those few hunting orders against him, want to accompany old friends on adventures, or a kind of reminiscence of the past.
In addition to the theme of the story itself, I was deeply impressed. In addition, the two old friends with different personalities in the film have very different social identities. For ten years, I got together again, but like old friends, speaking candidly and sincerely, this way of getting along with each other is enviable. I couldn’t help but think that I also traveled to Germany with a friend of mine last year. It was also a temporary intention and was willing to go together. We took Aeroflot from Shanghai, via Moscow, and the train via Munich, to Heidelberg, Berlin, and Königssee. , Climb the Philosopher’s Trail to see the sunset in Heidelberg, hike along the Neva River, or pass the Brandenburg Gate to mourn the Paris terrorist attack. People will quarrel on the road and have different opinions, but they will take care of each other. grateful.
