Actually the movie was not made well

The first time I saw it as a tourist film. After seeing it, I feel that the scenery is pretty good, but isn't this kid a bit messy with his parents? Let him be so brooding that he wants to break with the world and starve himself to death in the wilderness, worrying about the new words. . . Later, I would travel to Alaska myself to review this piece. Because I have done a lot of Alaska strategy, I deeply feel the amazing beauty of that piece of land and the magic that this beauty may produce, so I watched the movie the second time but I was not addicted to it, and I searched the e-book on the Internet to see it. After reading the book, I realized that because of the length and focus of the movie, the background and growth of Chris were not clearly explained, so many people would misunderstand that he is just an ultra-idealistic novel under the abundance of material life. It is true that just like almost all Alaskans’ evaluation of Chris, they all think that it is completely foolish for him to enter the Alaskan wilderness without the necessary equipment (a friend of mine said, he's certainly not stupid, but he's foolish-he's certainly not stupid, but he's foolish) , But silly). In fact, Chris is a genius with an IQ and EQ that exceeds that of ordinary people. A very impressive detail: Speaking of his extreme anti-material desire, Chris' mother recalled that Chris was actually a genius businessman. He grew vegetables in his backyard at the age of 6 and sold them to neighbors. He knows that he is such a cute child that the neighbors cannot refuse. In middle school, he helped the house decorator work as a part-time sales agent, and the results were so good that his boss wanted him to go to college! Although Chris' own parents are upper-middle class. Chris' father is the legendary rocket scientist, a senior scientist in NASA radar. Chris obviously inherited the extraordinary IQ and business acumen of his parents. If he wants to make a living, he wants to get a rich life, he can easily get it. Perhaps because of the extraordinary mind, the sensitivity to things is also extraordinary. Chris’ parents had a very entangled marriage relationship. Chris and his sister were both considered illegitimate children. Later, Chris’ father and his ex-wife finally divorced and married Chris’ mother, and they actually gave birth to a son with his ex-wife! When an extremely sensitive child grows to the most sensitive adolescence, he suddenly discovers from relatives and friends how this kind of activity can be indifferent to such disdain and hypocrisy, how can he continue to believe in his education and politically correct outlook on life (reading, Work, earn money, family, and live the rest of my life happily ever after). Chris has grown into a person with moral and cleanliness, and the stains of the human/world will be infinitely magnified in his eyes. Chris has been wandering across the American continent on his own since he was in middle school. On one side is the injustice of the world (he has been a very compassionate child since he was a child), in the words of fight club: Murder, crime, poverty, these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels. .. Chris said he could not understand why'people are so bad to each other so often.' In order to pursue material desires, people use whatever means, their bodies degenerate, and animals' wildness (survival skills) degenerate. . . On one side are these ugliness, on the other side are the majestic beauty of nature he saw as he wanders all the way, the stunning mountains and waterfalls, the sea, and the desert. In Chris’ eyes, these are all true and false in comparison to the mundane hypocrisy of the black pressure. Pure. -This feeling is believed to be felt by anyone who has traveled alone and experienced the overwhelming power of nature. In such a comparison, how could he not choose the wilderness? Of course, chris’s original intention of choosing the wilderness was not to commit suicide or even to go without looking back. He just wanted to find a little purity in the complex world, and live for a few months like our beast ancestors (everyone is The definition of is different, but there is no need to mock the truth of chris with worldly truth). His death was just an accident, not related to the subject. Or to put it this way, what if he survived successfully? How will the world criticize him differently? Although the movie is very loyal to the original in other aspects, Chris's growth process did not explain well, so the feelings brought by the book are very different. The book also compares other characters similar to Chris in history, which is very shocking. Many people actually want to do the same thing as Chris, but we simply don't have the courage.
