Conflict between modernity and nature

Jaylen 2022-03-21 09:01:38

What this film presents is the strong conflict between modern society and anti-capitalist society, which makes people reflect. Many of us hate this society of unlimited consumption, overwork, and all kinds of diseases, but we often say we can't change it. But in fact, this society is built by each of us, and our every move has made this society what it is now. The father's behavior may be extreme, but through the film, only this extreme approach can cause us to reflect.

There are many details in it until we reflect, including the father's reflectiveness, the children's robustness, the courage to express and the innocence are all worth learning from. On the other hand, people who live in modern times are obese and cover up the mother's illness in the film in front of the children. The children only play games on the computer instead of getting along with nature.

Too much to record.

Captain Fantastic quotes

  • Ben: [walking to picnic benches after shoplifting] Where else can we improve?

    Bo: Flawed exit strategy. Everyone went out the same doors. No one utilized the loading dock area at all. If it got blocked, we'd all be trapped.

    Ben: Mm-hmm.

    Vespyr: Inadequately planned extraction point. We probably shouldn't have all gone directly to the bus.

    Kielyr: Predetermined pickups would have been much less risky.

    Ben: On the plus side, mission: Free the food accomplished.

  • Harper: Children don't drink wine.

    Ben: In France and other countries, children drink small amounts of wine all the time. It's a digestive. It's not crack.

    Nai: What's crack?

    Ben: Crack is a crystallized, highly addictive derivative of the stimulant cocaine. In the mid-1980s, it accelerated the decimation of inner-city neighborhoods. Crackheads, some of them kids just like you guys, were killing each other over nothing, over their Nikes.

    Nai: They killed each other for Nike? The Greek winged-goddess of victory?
