Never lose the courage to move forward

From the name, I vaguely feel that this is a philosophical film about growing up. The plot of this film is very similar to "A Pilgrimage". The protagonist in the film, Bryson, resolutely set foot on the road with his childhood playmate despite the opposition of his family. The Appalachian Trail, which is more than 3,000 kilometers long, Bryson's wife said to him before leaving: "Come back alive". The difficulty of walking this road is evident, but in any case, Bryson is on the road. .
Perhaps it was his feelings after attending a friend's funeral. Bryson made a decision that others could not imagine. The invitation to his friend was rejected and his wife's strong dissuasion could not make him change his mind. This may be Bryson's courage to move forward. We can be mediocre and obscure, but we must do one or two things in our life that we are proud of, so that we can explain our lives.
I remember a teacher who said: "How old a person is when he retires, he can live as long as he is." Indeed, when a person does not have the courage to move forward, it means that his life is over.
Walking in the forest, I hope that when we are old, we can also have a trip that says to go, instead of lingering on the sickbed.

    Easy and fun, I like it. I was thinking that it would be great if I could climb mountains and get close to nature like this with my old man.

    A lighthearted road movie, one star for the translation of "Walking in the Woods".

A Walk in the Woods quotes

  • Sam Bryson: It's just kinda insane, Dad. The whole thing, at your age? Fit people in their 20's can't do it, Dad. It takes five months and five millions steps.

    Bill Bryson: Of walking?

    Sam Bryson: Yes.

    Bill Bryson: I've been doing it for a while, you know.

    Sam Bryson: Dad, hiking is not walking. Two thousand people a year try to do this. Less than 10% make it.

    Bill Bryson: You ought to see the statistics on how many people finish writing a book.

  • Bill Bryson: So, how are you with bears?

    Stephen Katz: Well, they haven't gotten me yet.

    [laughs]

    Bill Bryson: Well, you know there can't be a black bear within 1,500 miles of Des Moines, Katz.

    Stephen Katz: That's what I'm saying, man. Those fuckers keep their distance.
