We are always at the forefront of the road

I don’t feel astonished or sighed for the film that has no hot spots and no excessive twists and turns, but I think this method of filming is quite good. I don't want to feel that my life is too late, it's amazing to still do things that seem impossible. It's amazing, but people who have the courage to do this kind of thing will have the courage to do it regardless of their age. The most emotional part of the whole drama is to give up. The moment Bryson and his good friends decided to go back, I was moved. It is not easy to give up, or to give up freely and easily is not easy. This may only be done by Bryson, who is in his eighties. Coming resolutely, walking free and easy. At that moment, the hardships and bumps experienced along the way in the past are the most beautiful scenery.

This is a walk that belongs to Bryson and his good friends. I believe that those who really experience it feel ordinary at that moment. No one expresses for you, no one admires it, only your ordinary experience. I tend to believe that documentaries give us the same first-view experience.

    A lighthearted road movie, one star for the translation of "Walking in the Woods".

    It's not a clichéd chicken soup. In fact, there are many laments about the passing of years, as well as the leisure and joy of traveling. Robert Redford, who was once stunned, is now a big adventure to cross a small river.

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.
