Like a big bird, with the sound of tearing muscles, it threw out from the chest and soared into the sky.
It seemed that the soul flew into the blue sky with it, leaving behind bursts of dull pain and a body that was emptied.
This movie should have fulfilled the dreams of many people-those who yearn for freedom, yearning for on the road, and yearning to go to an uninhabited island in this life. He satisfies everyone's lust for freedom and on the road.
Yearning for freedom, the freedom that cannot be described in words. It is definitely not an excuse to escape worldliness, responsibilities, shackles, and unchangeable facts.
For it, loneliness is also willing.
Besides, loneliness is a lot of enjoyment.
The protagonist, who claims to be Alexandra Super Traveler. It's cool, backpackers, wanderers, all the way through mountains and rivers, over mountains and mountains. In fact, he hasn't experienced a lot of suffering, and generally it went well. Although sometimes they will be hungry and full, sometimes they will be beaten by the train managers. What I mean by smooth is that he did not encounter the temptation to truly shake the pursuit. So, I am very contented and happy along the way, and freedom is so easy to come by! Moreover, he undoubtedly believes that he is pursuing the truth.
His freedom is the freedom of mind and body, the freedom of being alone in a vast space, alone, and being integrated with nature. There can be no communication, no relatives, no love. What he pursues is the eternal beauty and brilliance that belong to nature. These are more than everything!
However, the pursuit of the ultimate freedom is precisely the instinctive desire of human nature. People have seven emotions and six desires, need to express, need to communicate, need the nourishment of love, but also need food and clothing. When you are not in the realm of detaching and seeing through the world, then face it squarely. Instead of repressing and distorting it. Extreme freedom is actually a disguised distortion of human nature, which cannot be true happiness. When he faced the magnificent mountains and rivers, the peculiar feelings that came from his heart were very happy, but at the same time, he was faintly lonely and bitter deep in his heart. And these things are being spurned and ignored by his own consciousness, he doesn't want or admit that he feels like this. The more happiness he felt, the more depression he felt, and finally at one point he would be crying hoarse in pain. But in my head, he was at a loss and confused about all this.
The reason why beasts and birds can live safely in nature without talking or communicating is because they can't consciously feel the beauty or ugliness around them, so they don't need to express. People are different. He has a sense of all kinds of feelings, he needs an outlet to vent, he needs to have spiritual contact, otherwise he will collapse.
The protagonist comes into contact with a lot of sincere emotions along the way, there are emotions beyond love, pure love, sincere friendship, and warm family affection. He did cherish these, but he still couldn't resist his determination to pursue freedom. In the end, the old man wanted him to be his grandson. Looking at the tears in the old man's eyes, the protagonist still politely declined, and let's talk about it later.
Alexander has been hungry for a long time, shouting FUCKFUCKFUCK to the surroundings, blaming the damn animals and disappearing. In the face of hunger, freedom seems to be gone, and there is no time to appreciate the mountains and the earth in front of me. After finally hitting a huge deer, and peeling blood to it, he gave birth to larvae due to overheating and improper preservation. At this time, he was like a murderer, full of regret. He wrote in his diary: I would rather not kill that deer, this is one of the tragedies of my life. He watched the jackal gnawing on the deer, and at the same time felt the cruel and indifferent nature of these animals. He thought of people's goodness.
In the final analysis, the freedom the protagonist desires is actually a desire for normal family warmth. The broken and violent family made him weary and repulsive of the world. That's why this extreme idea arises and escapes reality.
At the end of his life, he wrote in his diary: Only sharing can bring true happiness. He thought of his parents, once hated them for causing him pain, but now he left them with the anxiety and suffering of following to death; he thought of his relatives and friends... All this has nothing to do with freedom. I think at this moment, he regrets it. I paid such a big price, and because of this, my loved ones brought irreparable pain. Is this kind of freedom what you want?
Extreme freedom may be just an excuse to evade responsibility, shackles, and unchangeable facts. It is only temporarily getting rid of the status quo, thinking that it is pursuing truth, goodness and beauty and real liberation, but it flows into a larger world of emptiness, often becoming more confused and lost. In fact, avoiding the problem is not the way, but facing it is the truth.
Such a high-sounding freedom under the guise of freedom is not true freedom. This film may be to express such a point of view, rather than a tribute to the road.
