The new soul of mankind comes from new experiences

On unremarkable days, these moments are like sunlight suddenly passing through the clouds.



Christopher came to the wilderness from the city and decided to stay true to himself and experience a more "real" life. It seems that desire itself is not important, but a complete abandonment requires courage to face more unknown life.

If he stayed in one place, he might not die alone. But there is only one time in his life, and he goes forward bravely for his dream without turning back. Life and death have become unimportant from the moment they embark on the journey. Although he still regrets the end of his adventure at the end of the film, this kind of free and rich experience is something that many people have never experienced in their lives. It doesn't matter because everyone wants a different life. There are a lot of people who want it but don't get it. If you can follow your own heart, be more open-minded, and not hurt others, this kind of life will be good, no matter where you are. It's just that he chose the wilderness.

On the way to live in the wild, he met many people, sharing happiness and love, and those reserved expressions did not stop him. Maybe he is too extreme, thinking that only by returning to nature can people live a true and pure life. He has experienced such a life, but living alone in the wilderness is still too weak, and he is a big boy who is used to city life.

When he was about to stop breathing, his eyes looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, imagining the scene of falling into the arms of his parents, and the experience in the wilderness suddenly seemed so unrealistic and even absurd.

How to choose a life, whether to follow the habits of the people in the society and oneself. Continue to live in groups in the city, or go back to the wild alone. For this short life, being able to follow your heart is happiness.

I chose 5 stars not because I agree Or against the actions of the protagonist, but the story itself is well told about the journey and the pictures are beautiful.
