Behold, the tragedy of an overly free soul

The reason for deducting one point for running away is very magical. His parents were not in harmony, he was an illegitimate child, and then he hated society and hated money, and then he ran away. Maybe you should see a psychiatrist. Accept your imperfections to live a happy life. I thought I was stimulated by something, and I kept waiting for the plot of the movie to be revealed until he was in the bar, shouting society society society. They are all adults, graduated from college, and can go to Harvard Law School with a little effort, but the logic is chaotic. What about society? Discrimination, abuse, or mutilation? Can't you see the poor and the areas that live on the edge of life and death? Idealism cannot be released, go to the disaster area!

One point deduction is that the goal of the runaway is vague, go to Alaska, and then, will you live or die there? If you survive, you need a strong ability to survive. The protagonist died of food poisoning, which is ignorance. The real story is that the protagonist has issued a cry for help, which is not disclosed in the movie. Instead, it creates a very peaceful feeling. It's only 4 months after leaving, not 4 years or 40 years, and it's over. The real life is that people are inseparable from the society, and if they leave for 40 days, they may have their pigtails.

One point is deducted for the too perfect characters. Facing the girl's embrace, she was indifferent. Instead, she said to her aunt, "Would you like to sit here or eat, if you sit here, I will accompany you." wtf? Ask the 24-year-old male classmate to feel his conscience and say, what do you choose?

One point for those adults who didn't warn him of the danger? Danger of death! Isn't it a pity that such a young man, just after graduating from college, has not yet enjoyed his life, ran into the wilderness and hit the streets? what! That couple driving the car, that farmer, that old soldier without children, can you tell him that he still has so many wonderful things that he has not seen, that life is not only about the mountains, rivers and rivers, but also the people in front of him and his hobbies and hobbies. Helping others, etc. There is no one to stop him, such freedom is limitless.

The only point is for the warning effect of the movie and the protagonist itself. It can lead to extensive discussion, let latecomers see the lessons, and cherish life is worthwhile.

    In the wilderness, desert grassland and snow-capped mountains, taking refuge in the search for natural rhythm and self-worth. Nature is like the coin falling from the sky, full of unknown surprises and challenges. Reading Thoreau in the magic bus, quietly under the pink sky, fighting bravely in the rapids of the waves, and searching for oneself in the rushing wilderness. This is a beautiful and exciting song, but also a free and fearless poem. The vastness of nature is small, and it is fascinating to follow my heart.

    Three and a half, literally translated into the wilderness is more appropriate. Many people have had the urge to escape from civilized society, and it is possible to understand McCandless, but after all, few people will put it into practice. Revealing the underlying reason why he does this is the direction in which the film should push. Unfortunately, the film puts the main cause on the trauma of the original family, and at the end, the dying protagonist imagines the reconciliation with his family, which makes the behavior of going into the wilderness completely hypocritical and childish in our opinion. Sean Penn also seems to understand the picture to explain from a Christian point of view, but this part is empty and shallow. As for Tolstoy, Jack London or Thoreau, the excavation efforts of the film probably just stop at the level of an anti-intellectual conclusion that reading makes people stupid.
