But when I see Chris today, as I saw myself at the time, I don't think he's great, and I don't think he's done a great thing. In my eyes, he was just a stupid, naive and arrogant rebellious teenager.
How arrogant he is, look at the name he calls himself, supertram, when he says it so proudly, I can't help but laugh, how sadly arrogant.
As Jan said, he is a person who does not know happiness in the midst of happiness. How much help he has received along the way, and all the people who help him are the society and people he thinks he does not need. Wasn't the really happy time he had along the way being with people? Only when there are classmates around, I feel that this boy is shining. But he didn't take it seriously, he only had one wish in his heart, holding his ridiculous truth, to go to tmd Alaska.
Every time he cried out in despair and hysteria, it was a mockery of his own ignorance and childishness. He shouted tmd because there were no animals to hunt, where are the animals? I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, he ate poisonous grass because he didn't read the detailed description of the plants and shed tears in despair. Seeing this, I really feel It's his own fault for him to get to this point. He thought he was capable, he thought he was right, he thought he was Supertram. In the end, he was nothing.
His escape is really ridiculous, and the more you get to the second half of the movie, the more you can feel it. He just kept running away from dissatisfaction with his life and the world. He fled his unhappy family, he fled to his own truth and paradise. A few years ago, I might have thought it was bravery, the courage to put everything aside to find what I wanted. But now I understand the line between bravery and stupidity, and I understand that his escape is just cowardice. Not having the guts to face all the misfortunes of life, he found a utopia for himself. And when that utopia was not as beautiful as he imagined, he was disappointed, he was desperate, and he was hysterical. In the end, he died of his own stupidity.
He spent his short life reading those books, he read Tolstoy's family happiness, he thought he knew what happiness he wanted. But when his short life came to an end and was forced to the end, he realized what true happiness was. He wrote it in that book.
Write so much, just show yourself.
I'm grateful that I'm not so stupid now. Although I still want to wander, but definitely not to escape this world.
