"Survival in the Wilderness" is a very good movie. I haven't seen such a great movie for a long time. I was excited from last night to this morning.

I deliberately didn't read anyone's comments, I just wanted to write my thoughts on this movie.

"Survival in the Wilderness", a 22-year-old boy who graduated from college, when he was about to face the ensuing good life prospects, he chose a different life path-into the wild and ruined himself His ID card, driver's license, and all the certificates that can prove his social attributes, and at the same time donated all his savings of 24,000 US dollars to the World Hunger Organization for charity, abandoned his car, and gave himself a new name— —Super Wanderer, started his journey of wandering life.

During the journey, he not only experienced the beauty of all kinds of nature, but also encountered all kinds of people. At the same time, he kept thinking about what life is and what happiness is. His wandering journey is also a life. Journey of thinking.

Sean Penn, as the director of "Survival in the Wilderness", filmed this film with clouds and flowing water, filled with various beautiful scenery, conveying the breath of nature, wildness, and freedom. After watching it, I only felt that it is a man who should have this Feelings of rushing in nature, to explore the mystery of nature, to experience the courage to conquer nature, even if you sacrifice your life for it.

At the end of the movie, it was told that "Survival in the Wild" was adapted from real life, and this super wanderer did indeed pay the price of his life for exploring the barren land of Alaska. At the end of his life, he finally realized that "happiness is sharing". And this level of comprehension that was penetrated with the cost of life can no longer be realized for him, and can only be referred to and commented on by future generations. Seeing this ending, I have been wondering, is such a death good for such a courageous person? In the second half of the movie, he wanted to return to human society, but he was helplessly trapped by water, and eventually he was killed by eating poisonous food. I think Super Wanderer’s final thoughts should be regrettable. His wandering may be. It is a momentary exile and exploration of self. After gaining insight, he will eventually strike a balance between human society and natural life, rather than facing death before the real life has begun. Then his exploration will not only bring future generations The extra meaning is meaningless to him himself. Of course, from an artistic point of view, I think the death of the wanderer may have become inevitable. He finally realized his dream of being in nature, and it is eternal.

I remember seeing Yang Lan's "Ling Feng by the Sea" before, and repeatedly mentioned that her children should grow up close to nature. "The friendliest and closest friend of mankind is nature." This view has always affected me. Modern society is a society surrounded by steel and concrete, but human beings are created by nature and are part of nature. Therefore, nature is essential to human beings. How to deal with the relationship between society and nature? I think modern people need to consider and balance to find a balance that belongs to them. Of course, everyone’s outlook on life and values ​​are different. For me, I agree more with the view that people should be close to nature, and also in their spare time. Working hard, using the holidays to walk more on the road and shuttle between mountains and rivers. This is why "Survival in the Wilderness" is extremely appetizing for me. Although what I did was not as pure as the hero in "Survival of the Wild", I think this is the best balance I can achieve.

The movie "Survival in the Wilderness", in addition to the beautiful scenery and nice soundtrack, it also explores life. What is the meaning of life? What is happiness? Once, when I was in college, I was so confused. I spent my entire college time thinking about these issues, reading a lot of books, asking friends about their views on life, and constantly thinking to answer my own questions. The confusion made me extremely depressed, depressed and unable to extricate myself, but now, I feel that this experience is not painful for me to recall, on the contrary it is beautiful, because after that painful thinking, I The road after life is more clear and firm. I know what kind of life I need and what kind of happiness I need. Although I can't express it accurately in words, my heart has a direction. This part of "Survival in the Wild" resonates very strongly for me. In my youth, like the male protagonist, I am eager to obtain peace of mind through constant exploration, even physical training. The people in the movie helped me realize it. The attempt that I wanted to do when I was young but didn't dare to do it.

Finally, let me talk about a viewpoint that impressed me very deeply by the hero in "Survival in the Wilderness". The last friend he met during the protagonist’s wandering journey was an old man who lost his wife and beloved son. The old man left the society and devoted himself to leather carving in his own small studio. This has been the case for most of his life. Repeatedly, even if I want to travel, I dare not make the trip because I am afraid of missing an order. My life is boring and full of fear. Regarding the life of the elderly, the 24-year-old super vagrant did not dare to agree. While encouraging the elderly to change their real lives, he expressed his views on life. He said: "What are you going to avoid? You must reintegrate into society. Get out of that lonely house, get out of your small studio, and start again! You have a long time to live, you have to make a big change in your lifestyle, people have to experience new things to stay alive, but you see I, a stubborn old man, doesn’t move his butt. If you think that the happiness of life comes from interpersonal relationships, then you are very wrong. God gives happiness to all things in the world. Happiness is everywhere. We can get from anything. To experience happiness, what we have to do is to change the way we look at things.” Yes, most of the time, what we have to do is to change the way we look at things. Happiness is actually all around us, just to see if you want to grasp and own it. .

The above text is given to my beloved movie. I hope that more people who love life can see this movie. I think this is a movie that can inspire life. I hope more people can share it. Happiness is sharing.
