A little trouble and thinking

From home's geographic location, educational philosophy, teaching "textbooks", religious ethics... It is a complete rebellion against the mainstream American society. Instead, I'm almost certain the film will be a hit with Nordic audiences.

But the first proposition that bothers me a bit is whether or not minors have the means of education that they feel they need to live by .

A few weeks ago, I saw a small manifesto on the streets of Paris. The theme of the movement was "diversity in education", against the authoritarianism of school education, and advocated instruction à domicile (education at home). In addition to parents, there were many children under school age. When the organizers put on the song, they sang and danced along, but I was wondering, are they really consciously participating? Whether the decisions of parents and those around them are also an authoritarian tyranny like "consumerism", with workers/consumers who are helpless.

The second impression is that it is the so-called "mainstream lifestyle" of high consumption, high energy consumption, high output, and high interaction of most people that gives a small number of people the right to escape from the world. Because on the other hand, there will be no productivity revolution, there will be no emergence of sociological ideas such as Marx and Weber, and even primitive religions are inextricably linked with inter-tribal exchanges. Being human, and family is of course not the same as society.

    You can miss "Captain America", but you'd better not miss "Captain Fantastic"; in the face of the materialistic modern era, Captain Fantastic used the most primitive wisdom and courage to have a fierce confrontation with the former. No matter who yields to whom in the end, it is worth pondering and reviewing by each of us who are immersed in modern civilization.

    The father is extremely confused, trying to brainwash his children. Typical man whose brain is stuck with book concept. They read so much, don't they know that the pioneers of America were the Puritans of the Mayflower.

  • Bo: We're just back in the states because of my dad's sabbatical. He's writing a book on Dr. Spock.

    Claire: Oh, I love Star Trek.

  • Ellen: [intercepting Bo & Claire on their way to a tryst] It's almost midnight. I sincerely hope you two lovebirds haven't been doing what I think you've been doing.

    Bo: [talking rapidly] I know what you think. But I know that your daughter has taught me many things just now. She has broadened my mind, she has helped me grow. When we just kissed for the first time just then, it... The endorphins that your daughter sent through my body were like dolphins swimming through my bloodstream. The way she has opened me up, she has penetrated deep inside of me, and I know that I have penetrated deep, deep inside of your daughter. And... but not-not like that. I would love to when... When it's necessary for... I, I want kids someday. Not right now, of course.

    Bo: [turning to speechless Claire] But when you're ready, when I'm ready, because I think this should be a shared decision. This is a decision that we should make together. But when you are ready, I will be ready. I am ready for you, if you will have me... Claire... What's your last name?
