I bought a disc to watch this movie. Sheng Jia released the D9 disc. Except for the feature film, the disc did not contain any tidbits, only the movie preview. I thought it would be a pretty good movie, but I didn't expect it to be really mediocre. I take seriously every movie I've seen and want to describe, even if it's not that great. Form a habit here and write a movie review with real feelings.
The scenery in the movie is very desirable, kayaking, lakes, all kinds of inaccessible original forest park scenes, which are attractive enough for anyone with an adventurous spirit, and easy to evoke. Adventurer's desire to explore, but you can't imagine this film as Bell's survival in the wilderness, it's really wrong.
Bell's Wilderness Survival is the wilderness survival of a real professional adventurer and soldier, living in the most primitive nature, but this film is not, this film is a story of an arrogant boyfriend and his girlfriend going to the wild forest park to die .
I have seen a movie before, called Eden Lake. It is also the hero and his girlfriend, or his fiancee, to go on vacation to a wild lake that few people go to. These kinds of movies are all to create a wild environment to create horror , but Lake Eden is a bad boy, and the wilderness is a territorial bear.
The two movies are very similar, that is, the male protagonist is very arrogant and ignores his girlfriend's emotions and words.
Without further ado, I will directly tell you what I think is the most meaningful revelation in this film. Although watching movies is for spiritual enjoyment and relaxation, for those who like thrillers and micro-horror movies, sensory stimulation It's not the only pursuit, even if you don't need to analyze this kind of horror movie in depth, you should learn something from it!
In this film, I think the only meaning is to tell people that when exploring and challenging nature, they must recognize themselves, otherwise, they will die.
There is danger in a civilized society, but that danger is not a tragic loss of life. Although people in modern cities will also pursue some original tastes after their intense and tiring work, and change their mood, for example, the male protagonist in the film will propose to take his girlfriend for a hike, and go to the depths of the Wild Forest Park to find a lake , to enjoy the natural scenery.
Being close to nature can indeed relax the mood, and it is also a different kind of romance, but the male protagonist has committed a fatal taboo, that is, as a person in a civilized society, he is arrogant and thinks that he has some tents, tools and dry food, With his own courage, he can completely break away from the ties of civilized society, ignore any unknown danger, and take his girlfriend on a daring two-person field trip.
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of 10,000, but be afraid of what happens. This kind of arrogant behavior that does not use communication tools and thinks that nothing bad will happen is clearly gambling on luck.
Before the invention of communication tools, people longed to have them. However, when faced with the mysterious and unpredictable nature of nature, stupid people chose to discard them. This is not what self-isolation is. Civilized society has made people leave the virgin forest for too long. It can be said that people who have not learned wild survival skills do not have complete wild survival. Being safe and sound only means that you are lucky. If there is an unexpected danger in the wild, That is also resignation.
Just like this, two reckless ghosts, do they really think they are shopping in a city that extends in all directions? Without threat and vigilance, the two of them wandered around, not knowing that as a civilized society, they might have stepped into the territory of some wild animals. As someone who is somewhat brainy, if it were me, I would pay attention to my route.
Is the presence of strangers a good thing or a bad thing? As a couple of young couples who enjoy the two-person world and don't want to be disturbed, the strangers who appear halfway will indeed make them feel uncomfortable, especially the appearance of a strange man who starts talking with his girlfriend again, which makes the woman feel uncomfortable. The Lord's boyfriend was furious with jealousy.
People are obsessed by the authorities and bystanders. In fact, the male protagonist is still very alert and able to think. Why do you say that? Because the male protagonist is arrogant, but he does not trust strangers, and he is wary, which can generally avoid most risks, but the plot here is a bit different, I will analyze it for you hear.
When the hero and heroine came here and decided to go on vacation, the ranger said that going to that place was not a good idea during the season, and through this, some useful information could be obtained, that is, the people who show up in this remote and wild park at this time will be Who is it? The possibility of poachers is very high, followed by young people like them who dare not listen to dissuasion and insist on taking risks, and the other is similar to the kind of semi-primitive people who live here for a long time. This kind of person should exist. I didn't watch the plot behind, I just listened to the forest ranger, and I can analyze these three information.
So in the following plot, in the face of the intrusion of a strange man, the male protagonist is just rejecting and doubting his identity, but has not thought about doing a real identity identification and using it for himself after the conversation, but is confused by himself. It's time to turn them away. This kind of weirdo has the behavior of a lunatic, because at first glance, he is not a city person, for example, he is relieved by the side regardless of the measure. If I say that the hero and heroine missed a professional guide, this is the key reason for their tragic trip, and it is also the final fatal turning point.
In fact, the behavior of the least intelligent person is to make himself look out of place. People can have a personality, a sense of superiority, and they can make themselves look unique. You have to consider whether the surrounding environment is safe and secure. Otherwise, people who are light will be disgusted, and those who are serious will be targeted. The truth of being in the countryside and being low-key is the wisdom of a strange intruder.
Here, this couple is a stranger in the wilderness, but they just regard the man who survived well here as a "stranger", let's talk about the communication method and concept identity. It's not advisable to care about details and civilization with a rough adventurous wilderness person, because you can't change, people are different after all, but at least you can try to make the atmosphere not awkward and abrupt, for girlfriends and strange men Talk about making your boyfriend jealous, just show your attitude and defend your girlfriend. This is the principle, and the rest can be ignored. The important thing is that the other party's familiar forest will be used by you, and this is the key.
It's no wonder that the hero's ending will be tragic, his arrogance is also the character that drives him to try to show his masculinity to his girlfriend, when he faces a real guide and survival expert, his jealousy will To drive away the outstanding people, he is unprofessional and unfamiliar with the route, and he is stingy with hiring. He chose to take his girlfriend blindly confidently and continue to take risks.
There is actually a very interesting plot in it. When the bonfire is burning, they chat. The atmosphere of this chat is very test of emotional intelligence. In front of him is a pioneering forest explorer. Smart people will not say how successful they are when they talk about their careers. Compliment your boyfriend about how successful he is.
Really, when I saw this, I immediately laughed. Could this atmosphere be awkward? Not to mention whether this will arouse the jealousy of strange men. I think the reason why a wilderness person lives here is that apart from earning money from guides to support himself, he is probably not very interested in urban life, otherwise he would not live such a life, maybe he really would not. Care about this, as long as you have money to make.
Interestingly, the strange man, knowing that the male protagonist is quite successful and seeing that he is not familiar with the route, also indicated that he could be hired for the reason, but the male protagonist did not choose to tolerate this professional guide stranger, but Showing that he meant to drive him away, to be honest, I felt that the male protagonist was at a loss at that time.
If a smart boyfriend knows that the atmosphere is awkward and he is really unfamiliar with the route, he can completely defuse the embarrassment. Safety first in an unfamiliar place. Sometimes it is a good idea to push strangers away. In an unfamiliar place, the taboo is to have internal conflicts. Even if there is no cash in this situation, it is the best policy to verbally promise a good reward to a strange man. The world of two people who don't want to be disturbed can have a way of not wanting to be disturbed, instead of pushing away the savior and showing off.
The strange man returns to the wild but also has his own bottom line. Isn't there a plot of questioning in the middle? Before leaving, the strange man asked what the misunderstanding was referring to. In fact, looking at people's psychology, a person can be haunted and questioned because of a sentence. Strong questioning to justify yourself. The man may be a lunatic, and he is not good at dealing with individuals, but at least one thing is that as a strange man, he did not deliberately seek trouble, and the two boys were misunderstood because of misunderstanding and distrust. The taste of this is no one will be comfortable, and this is my reconnaissance and analysis of human nature.
The unfamiliar man left behind, and did not disturb them again. Then the danger of a truly unfamiliar land came, and so loomed over the two young men wandering around. If you don't have a mobile phone, you don't have a map. When you see despair, you know how stupid it is to give up contact.
Finally, the horror maker of the film appeared, it was a bear, a real bear foraging for food in the primeval forest.
Speaking of bears, I'm going to digress a bit. I love storytelling, so I can't help but think of bear movies, Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar-winning movie, The Revenant, which has In the plot of the bear, people and bears fighting and tickling are not enough, because the strength of people is too disparate compared to bears. It can be said that the only way for humans to play dead when facing bears and unable to escape , this point will also be explained on the encyclopedia, so the revenant's little plum can escape by pretending to be dead, struggling and fighting are all seeking death.
Last year's movie, "Mother," also had a mother-son encounter with a bear. Because it was a comedy, it was exaggerated. As far as I know, humans can't outrun polar bears. It's a fact, and Bolt can't either. When Chu suddenly faces a bear, it is impossible to run away. Two legs can't run on four legs. Even if the bear is a giant, it still can't lose to a human. Is there any useful knowledge?
There is a saying in the northeast, one pig, two bears and three tigers, which describe the wild beasts in the Great Northern Wilderness. , hard and slippery, bullets can't penetrate, followed by the bear is blind, the bear is huge, but still flexible, he is a flexible fat man, there is no chance of winning compared to the strength of the human and the agility, and it is necessary to be under the eyes of the bear. To escape, you have to deal with the weakness of the bear's poor eyesight. Even if you run, you have to run downwind, because the bear's hair is too long to block the line of sight and it is difficult to see clearly, and bears can climb trees, so Unless your tree climbing skills are strong and you can climb very high, it is not easy to escape from being targeted by bears.
Alright, let's go back to the Wilderness Movie, and just like that, the couple entered the bear territory by mistake. It was really exciting. As soon as the tent door was opened, the bear was seen.
There are not too many close-up shots of bears in this film, nor is it scary, and the places where there are scary shots are blurry and shaky. I think the scene photographer is not qualified, or the editing is not good, it is messy, I as a As an amateur film buff, I'm not very comfortable with the way the sequence of shots is edited, there is no coherence and it is not very smooth. But when the black bear roars and pulls people, it is really scary, and the pepper spray is not in vain, but since all the sheep are in the tiger's mouth, why not give it a go and spray it into the bear's eyes! And the heroine's injuries are obviously not enough. It's not that she was scratched by a bear, and she didn't crack the skin. Maybe it's because the atmosphere has arrived, so let's stop.
Similar to the plot of Eden Lake, the male protagonist took out the engagement ring in the small box at the end. Unfortunately, neither couple had the opportunity to put the ring on the girl's hand romantically on the wedding occasion. When the heroine of the wilderness had to accept that the hero could not be saved, she took the risk to get the ring, which was considered the last gift from her boyfriend.
In the back, the heroine returned on the same road as the impression, and stared all the way. There is a small detail here. There is a wild fruit similar to a wild strawberry. The heroine used to be very repulsive, but water and food are urgent. In this case, she didn't care whether she liked it or disliked it, and she also picked it up and ate it. In the end, the heroine escaped from the waterfall by evading the bear's pursuit, and she also broke her leg. Her strong desire to survive made her escape. You have to stick to grit your teeth and keep walking out.
In fact, when the bear was chasing the heroine, it reminded me of Veronica, the jungle girl in the lost world of the American TV series. Veronica can use the vines to attract dinosaurs to chase her like Tarzan, and let the dinosaurs accidentally stop Can't stop rolling down the cliff, but the heroine of the wilderness has such skills, I just think about it.
Interesting facts about bears. When I was a child, I saw a comic strip, like Aesop's fables, which contained little stories with truth. It was about two good friends who were playing together and suddenly encountered a bear. One was so frightened that he hid in a tree and He didn't tell his good friend about the impending danger, and the other one couldn't dodge or run away. He could only play dead on the spot based on experience and plan to fool him. Fortunately, the boy who didn't have time to escape made a death because of holding his breath. The way he deceived the bear, the bear just smelled it in his ear and left.
After the danger was over, the boy in the tree came down and asked his good friend, the bear seemed to say something in your ear, why didn't they eat you, at this time the boy who avoided the bear by his own wisdom said: "The bear is indeed with me. In one sentence, it told me who my real friends are."
When faced with a bear's attack, it is easy for people to lose their flesh and bones. This is easy for bears. The size and strength of bears determine the destructive power of bears to people. It is as simple as a person tearing a piece of kraft paper. That's fraught with danger, but the probability of this happening is only in the original state.
When facing danger and imminent danger, people must learn to be rational and judgmental. Only with a smart sense of self-protection can they calmly escape from danger, rather than being reckless. Whoever lives longer is the winner, and people must know how to listen to opinions and Accepting the facts, being brave is the biggest taboo, and being overconfident is self-indulgent.
At the end of the movie, the heroine rowed a kayak with a village logo and swayed to the opposite bank. The will to survive all the way supported this stimulated body, as if she had been beaten with blood. Ironically, after she landed, she fell to the first one. The one who found her and helped her up was the strange man.
Originally, it was completely avoidable to set foot in the wilderness. If you want to go, just go. Spending a little money and having an acquaintance to lead the way can also ensure the safety of this trip, but I was stingy with money and pushed away the help that could be used in front of me, which led to the male protagonist. After losing their lives, many heroines got their lives back.
The wilderness of human nature is the culprit of death. This wilderness is different from the barrenness. It is the overconfidence and ignorance of human nature. In the face of nature, people should not be condescending and condescending, otherwise this wilderness will be the desolation of corpses. and mess.
