The utopia I thought was something like Captain Marvel, completely back to nature, but the utopia in this film currently looks more like a fanatical extreme dictator using his family's love for himself to control them and drag them to death Uncertain road. The male protagonist extremely hates modern civilization, is ashamed of consumerism, and longs to live a self-sufficient life. All these are personal choices, but his image in the film is more like a paranoid dictator with a strong desire to control. He made rules of life and banned electronic products from throwing away his daughter's mobile phone, and he had a strong desire to control. Although talented, proficient in equipment, self-made refrigerators... But modern times have refrigerators, who needs refrigerators? More looks like a paradox that hates modern civilization but wants to create civilization in backward civilization. Does he really care about family? I've always wondered about this while watching the movie. They have been moving and leaving again and again. They never tell their children what the specific reason for leaving is. When the police came, they ran to Mexico to take refuge, causing the whole family to endure great ordeals. Disaster, he never seems to care about the feelings of other family members, but just loves adventure and the thrill of PUBG and the satisfaction of survival technology. As his daughter said, they are more like the audience for the male lead. When the daughter made it clear that she wanted to leave, it was more like using her love to secretly kidnap her freedom and let her compromise. Even with the two snakeheads in the line, it can be seen that the male protagonist is abnormal. The various behaviors of the male protagonist give people the feeling of extreme depression. He only takes his own behavior as the criterion, his own decision-making as the decision-making, giving orders and not accepting dissent, paranoid and crazy. It was the first time when I watched the film that I hoped that the male protagonist's daughter could call the police or the police would catch them quickly. Honestly, it's not like a utopia at all, it's more like a mini-state created by a dictator.
I only watched the first few episodes so far, I don't know if there will be a reversal later
