The journey was initiated by Kurt, and he was the one who needed the journey even more. In the beginning, both Kurt and Mark were very interested in camping. Mark even jumped to Kurt's house and went in to the second floor naturally, and Kurt seemed very used to it.
The old friends have made different life choices, but they still understand each other. Silence also has a kind of peace and tacit understanding, and their relationship has not actually become farther. It's just that time has taken away the environment and mood of youth, and embarking on a similar journey, the joy of the old days will not come back, but it will appear more lonely. So in the first half of the film, the two are only happy when they constantly mention old things and old objects, but at the same time they talk less.
When you are young, everyone will feel that there is nothing wrong with living a free and free life, very comfortable and unrestrained. However, when he was young, he hadn't seen the world's yearning, and he couldn't run through the long life. Kurt kept running, but if he hadn't rolled in the red dust, even if the scenery was wider, the freshness and excitement he could feel must gradually diminish. . He could even be surprised and envious of Mark's community work, having children, etc., because he understands the courage it takes to change.
The first night, when Kurt was drunk, he finally realized that the two were no longer sixteen, and talked about wanting to rebuild their friendship and relive old dreams. Mark panicked, he knew about it before Kurt, and could only say they were the same as before.
If anything is new and worth talking about, Mark is facing a whole new life. But the wife said very bluntly about Mark's travel: You have already made a decision, why do you have to give my formal consent. Obviously, "asking for instructions" is not a normal family relationship. Mark seems to be restrained and acts completely passively, expecting the boat to go straight to the bridge, and is completely unprepared to take on the responsibility of father/husband. So, with yearning and regret for the joy of the old days, he gladly accepted Kurt's invitation, and even went to the warehouse to find many old objects.
The objective fact is that Mark gave up his free life very early. At the beginning of the story, he probably thought he could relive his old dreams, but on the way, he found that he had no interest in what he had done. It is also unlikely that Mark will have any new communication with Kurt who is stuck in the past. In the dialogue of community work, it is obvious that Mark does not agree with Kurt's state.
So Mark chose to go back to his own world, and he only agreed in his words, even if Kurt gave him the gun, he would take it over to play twice, and he had no interest in the whole journey. Kurt also felt the difference in Mark's state, so after arriving at the hot spring, the two finally began to truly accept the empty time of the moment, which constituted the final climax of the film.
The whole film is very simple, without any violent conflict, it is almost just a description of a state of burnout, and it is good to be able to write a deep state. The personal evaluation is 8.0, and it is a work that requires a corresponding state of mind to read it.
