"Barbarian" Reverse Pursuit

You read that right, the title is this, the opposite of the title of the movie Hunting the Savages. Because I think that the protagonist and his adoptive family, who were considered "barbarians" at the beginning, are the kind of warmth and simplicity that modern society lacks. The film satirizes the so-called "civilized man": the slow-moving, incompetent police officer and the head of the mean orphanage. It is this kind of "savage" that is praised. It is not so much to say that the "savage" is chased in a mess, but it is better to say that it arouses our moving step by step while watching the movie, and is "hunting" the beautiful side of human nature.

And this movie is not propped up by looks at all. The content is detailed and the rhythm is reasonable, and the story reflects an independent growth. Responsibility, responsibility, and warmth. The protagonist is stubborn and independent. From the beginning of the little rebellious "barbarian", after the funny part along the way, he becomes a little warm man. From the perspective of a "little barbarian", the film has a resistance to hypocritical justice and reasonable humanistic care. The last "racing" was very refreshing. Of course, when the protagonist went to the nursing home to pick up his grandfather, tears almost fell.

The scene in the jungle is undoubtedly an important part of the film, and it is also the transformation of the protagonist step by step. When we feel a little bit, when the laughter is repeated, we are also "hunted" in our hearts.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople quotes

  • Ricky Baker: Shit just got real! Back up, homies, and let go of my uncle!

  • Ricky Baker: We'll just tell them you were looking after me.

    Hec: Doesn't matter what you tell them, they won't believe you. They'll think I made you do it. I'm not going back to jail, I'm better off up here. This is no place for a kid. You're gonna have to go back, Ricky.

    Ricky Baker: To what?

    Hec: To the welfare people.

    Ricky Baker: No!

    Hec: They'll look after you.

    Ricky Baker: No, they won't!

    Hec: They'll find you another home, you'll be fine.

    Ricky Baker: You're not listening! Nobody listens! There's no more homes, just juvy!

    Hec: What's juvy?

    Ricky Baker: Juvenile prison. They don't care about kids like me, they just keep moving us around until something happens like... Amber.

    Hec: Oh no, bugger then. Okay, okay. We're in about a million hectares of bush, that's big, it's big enough to hide in for a while, anyway.

    Ricky Baker: Good enough for me.

    Hec: But we're heading into winter. It's gonna be rough, no huts, no tents, real bush life. Can you handle that?

    Ricky Baker: I can handle it.

    Hec: Yeah. And if you play up, I dump you.

    Ricky Baker: Okay, Uncle.

    Hec: I'd still prefer if you don't call me Uncle.

    Ricky Baker: Okay, Hec. So what do we do now?

    Hec: We run.

    [They run for a few seconds, then stop out of breathe]

    Hec: Wait, wait wait. Maybe we don't need to run.

    Ricky Baker: Oh yeah, let's just fast walk.
