raw instinct

Perseverance and never give up, time wears down the desire for freedom, and the survival instinct evokes strength in harsh environments. Just to realize the dream of flying, but was shot down and crashed, still reluctant to leave the plane, and stayed with the plane at the last moment. Escape from prison, escape from the jungle, escape from the country where all the people are soldiers.
Treat the jungle as a friend, not an enemy. To travel through the jungle, be part of it, not fear it. Starting fires in the wild, catching snakes to feed their hunger, changing bullets for machetes... The desire to survive in the jungle is very strong.
The film's description of survival is only a rough description, which seems vague and general. The process seems lengthy but not many details, lack of flavor. But I admire the male protagonist very much. From a passionate young man full of youthful vitality, after a flight and catastrophe, he turned into a scrawny little old man with ragged clothes and disheveled beard and hair. He played really well. The desire for life is also in place, looking at those eyes, you can imagine how hard it is.
Survive, see the sun again.
