"Candid" is a very neutral word. Eddie Vedder's perfect soundtrack complements the film. The film won the Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award, more or less with the light of music. Therefore, in terms of music, he won the Grammy Award for Film Music.
Chris was sitting on the abandoned bus in Fairbanks, number 142, with a casual look and deep eyes looking into the distance. He only has a small blue suitcase, and he is a complete amateur field enthusiast. To a certain extent, it was personal reasons and psychological shadows that prompted him to make a thorough journey.
I once asked myself how much courage does a man need to abandon everything and throw himself into the embrace of nature? The answer, however, is that living in such a modern world, the intimacy with nature even makes me feel the unease that comes with ignorance.
A graduate of a prestigious university, with a beautiful family background, finally burned his ID, Social security card, cut out his credit card, donated all his bank deposits, and burned his family's photos. Since then there has been no one named Chris McCandless.
The rapids of the Grand Canyon, the snowfields of Alaska, the person who changed his name to Alex allows us to truly understand the meaning of human beings in this natural world. We are a point. Yes, a black dot. Especially in the snow in Alaska, from a bird's-eye view, we see the almost non-existent self.
But it is that, at least we can say, that we are still embraced by nature. No matter how we go, we can't get out of her broad palm.
Alex's experience before coming to Alaska was more like a graduation trip for a young man with bohemian dreams. The hippie couple along the way, the 16-year-old girl who gave her arms to her, the McDonald's waiter and the ruffian owner of the farm... As an idealistic Alex, he didn't stop, even if he enjoyed it like that when they were together, he still took it to the bottom of his heart. There was a hint of contempt.
"Go back to nature." "Find yourself in nature." "You don't think at a certain point in your life you just need to be there and not be found. Just be there..."
"The true meaning of life comes from A new experience..."
is such a paranoid idealistic child.
In fact, will his trip be just a young and frivolous prank?
However, nature is far more cruel than ideal. When the stream turned into a big rolling river, his path was cut off.
I finally killed the huge North American elk. When I thought that I could finally eat meat after so many days, I didn't know how to bake it. I finally thought I could eat them, but found that they had already become a delicious meal for insects.
A harsh "Fuck" is so meaningless at this time. On the contrary, the sublime on the surface is actually a piqued oath to "never kill again".
Relying on wild fruit to live, because there is no knowledge of wild survival (please note that he is a top student in a famous university) so find out books. When I saw wild potato roots, I ate a meal without even thinking about it. Finally, when I flipped through the book and saw "poisonous", the desperate expression and whimper were the saddest voice in the whole movie.
Pursue pure "nature" or the true meaning of life, so choose a life that is isolated from the world and seems to live in harmony with other species. It ended up dying by accidentally eating poisonous plants.
Human society will never go backwards. Even if there is a backward thinking, it is only a temporary restoration, but its essence is still moving forward. From a modern point of view, going back to the past and purely as a human being who lived thousands of years ago are completely different in nature. Ancestors, everything they do is just to survive, share a grassland with wild animals, and hunt with sharp weapons for basic survival. Humans now, we understand this history, and for Chris, it is this understanding that drives him to travel. Knowing nothing, working hard for survival; and knowing this process, and then deliberately copying a history, how could it have the same result?
Do you remember, Chris once said: I'm going to come back and write a book about my Alaska experience?
Do you remember when Chris was at the phone booth trying to call his sister with a quarter?
Finally one day in his field diary he said: alone became lonely.
Finally one day in his field diary he said: Happiness only real when shared.
On the day of death, he put on all his clothes and quickly It's like a race against time. Then lay in bed and watch the changing sky. In an instant, everything was torn apart, and a somewhat abrupt question appeared in my mind: what would happen if I went home at this time?
The laughter, tears, hugs of his parents...
Finally, he shed two lines of tears. Keep your eyes open and die in the 142 bus.
It's a contradictory movie. Students at prestigious universities, who have thoroughly studied Africa, human rights, and other humanitarian aspects, die without seeing that a certain plant is poisonous.
Abandon everything, extreme idealism, but still think of the smiling faces of family members in the last second of life.
Last words: Happiness is real when shared.
It is more like a young and frivolous willful escape. It was only at the last moment that I realized that nature is connected by rings, and this "ring" is not just what I understood before, but only Participation can only be done in the wilderness and completely cut off from human society.
This top student ignored a most basic problem. Human society is also an important part of this nature, even if, well, it is really small.
Our abilities are limited, and all we can do is not interfere with the lives of other species. Even running with wild horses and singing with owls, we're still just a species called "humans." And we, too, can only exist in this era where we exist.
