Young people always have dreams and always have a future. Although they don't know where their future is, they have it. The elderly have no future, but they still have the present, the future or the present, life is always going on.
The two old men in the film are not reconciled to their ordinary life, and hope to get back their sense of the past through walking, but in the jungle, they finally realize that the life of the elderly is their real life, what they are after, It's their past, someone else's future.
The family's opposition and the lack of hiking knowledge did not stop the old man's footsteps, and they started their own journey firmly.
During the hike, I encountered several waves of young people, women who walked with them and complained about their sissies, hikers in youth hostels, young people crossing the creek, men who could predict the weather, and so-called romantic encounters in the hostel. . . The agility and strength and desire of young people make the old men realize that they are no longer young, and many things can only be immersed in memories, but they still have to realize themselves.
The protagonist hesitates when they are tired and ready to choose to drive through the next difficult road, he chooses to finish the impossible road.
They finally set foot on the ancient road. The road of Pangen and the old giant tree made them realize that the old will eventually leave. It is an unstoppable law. They recalled the past and looked at the unforeseeable future. However, physical aging does not mean that the mind is no longer young. The old men have proved themselves with actions that they can accomplish feats that even young people can't do, quit drinking!
In the end, when they stumbled and fell on the edge of the cliff and had nothing to do, two young people pulled them up again. Yes, at this time, they must face themselves who can no longer do anything, and see their own shortcomings. ,Accept the truth. Life will eventually come to an end, and this end is the origin of life - family.
I have watched this movie twice, and every time I watch it, I am moved by the spirit of the elderly. The old ambition is there, and at the same time, he is also moved by the strong family affection and friendship between people in this film.
Life should never give up, and that foundation is the perfect family. The fallen leaves return to their roots, and everyone will eventually return to the family. All the glory and dreams find their home in the family.
May you be forever young, may be touched always, and may every wandering soul finally find a home in the family.
