nowhere to go

While I was working on my work, navigating various WeChat groups, and watching "leave no trace", most of the time I needed to pause the movie. Dual-mindedness is not my viewing habit. Can't remember when this movie was recorded on my list. Some scattered thoughts linger in my mind today, such as Byron's poem: I love the world more than nature; for example, about the relationship between the city and nature, I am thinking back to my half-life journey, and any node in it has been changed, today I Where will you be. Will I be on the big land, like my grandparents. So, to see a movie about this, I need natural green to save. "leave on trace" is such a movie, but it's not all - I'm not used to knowing any movie information before watching it, and I don't like any spoilers. The story was told better than I imagined, and none of the plots I had planned came out. The father will not be violent, he will not force his daughter tom, but will fight silently in his own way. There is no confrontation in the daughter, she is so excellent and outstanding in the growing environment that modern civilization lacks. She has an independent proposition and value orientation, she accepts new things and collisions in the process, and at the same time knows how to handle the relationship with her father. ——Her excellence just proves the father's success in education and getting along with his daughter. In the past few times, my father insisted on continuing to choose the previous way of life, so he and his daughter gradually had a disagreement. The daughter said, it is your needs, not mine. I thought, yeah, dad is so selfish. I support him to do whatever he wants, but the daughter is not his appendage, an independent entity. In the end, both of them understood what they needed in their hearts. Like the protagonist in "Survival in the Wilderness", the father walked into the forest again, looking for the Alaska in his heart, and the daughter turned and left. There is no better relationship than this. The plot of the movie is an extreme existence, in fact, he himself is will. Life is another war, we all have PTSD and we don't even have a forest to go to. Sometimes there is no need to accuse life of cruelty and people's assumptions. Those who try to help us, aren't they kind? They are all good, but sorry, these are not what we need most. Bill Potter wrote a story in the preface to his book. When he was young, he met a homeless man downstairs. The other party was a soldier who participated in the Vietnam War. After returning, he has been wandering all over the country. For him, he, like Will, is no longer able to live normally. If forced to be like normal people, they will kill themselves and they need their own way to save themselves. He said to Bill, if you find your tree house, don't come back. For Will, getting away from modern civilization is his way of reaching inner peace. I hope to find it too.
