Into The Wild.

Every man has a wandering dream, even in today's increasingly serious urbanization, in the reality of being domesticated by civilization and corroded by money.

This is a movie that has made me sad after watching it for a long time. Emotions accumulate bit by bit, silence bit by bit piled up, perhaps thinking that what is waiting for is a blooming ending, but I didn't expect it to be so dark. I did not expect that this black ending did not give us too many answers. It just shows a period of reality, perhaps it does not mean that the cause of the wandering is the misfortune of the family, and perhaps it is not what we thought it might be.

My sad mood has not eased for a long time, even if it is close to two and a half hours in length. It gave us the wandering journey, all the encounters and experiences you can imagine, the owner of the ranch, a couple walking in search of a son, a young man who is playing crazy games, a girl who is about to fall in love, and one The gray-haired cobbler who is about to grow old but is touched.

All this was fettered with Christopher, but he never paid attention to it. In order to avoid, for freedom, and to confirm the inner seeking happiness, that is the wilderness of Alaska. A college student who has just graduated abandons everything in civilized society and heads to the wilderness. What a simple story structure, what a real life event, but why does it bring us the strongest cruelty after the warmth along the way?

This is a real incident, and Sean Penn, the bad man in Hollywood, waited ten years to put this incident on the screen. In fact, the privacy and unbearable past involved in it are meaningless to us. However, what we can truly feel is that the child has something that we do not have or have already lost.

For the sake of freedom, desperate for ideals, desperate for practice, desperate for everything that you are chasing. We are gone, we are lost, and we can't be found again. Was completely shattered and scratched by the fragments of civilization in this society. What a sad era, how sad we have been.

However, during the continuous extension of the movie, the boy's thoughts continued and changed. I kept recording my feelings in my diary, but I got back to the starting point more and more. From the initial excitement to loneliness, to powerlessness, to the final comprehension. The film is divided into chapters based on the growth cycle, constantly switching between different states of mind through flashbacks. The boy has a magical pen and his left hand to write his true feelings.

It turns out that happiness is to share with others. This is the realization before the deathbed. A "super stray" who has no hesitation, put aside the family, and ignored the many friendly suggestions from everyone, finally found the origin of life. Just can't go back again.

It was the river that blocked his way back, the lack of prey made him haggard, the accidental eating of poisonous weeds brought him close to death, and the kind of enthusiasm that made him go forever.

I hate this ending, it is too realistic. We have gone through too many journeys without turning back, we have gone through, we want to go back, but time coldly rejected us. The love you missed, the family you missed, the chance to make a fortune you missed, a certain life you missed.

It is a fast train passing by, but we don't know that we are the passengers.
