Material civilization is a good thing

Living in the materially rich America, a busy modern man was thrown into a primitive desert island overnight, and everything has to be restarted.
Collect and preserve drinking water, invent tools such as stone knives and axes, drill wood to make fire, fish and fish, eat cooked food, invent wound dressing techniques, invent primitive medical techniques such as tooth extraction, manufacture rafts, determine wind direction, record time, and create rock paintings Art, creation of primitive totems and spiritual worship... In four years, Chuck repeated millions of years of human civilization evolution.


In the process of watching the film, I kept discovering that material civilization is really a good thing. Things we take for granted, such as fire and anti-inflammatory drugs, the process by which humans create them is so difficult.

    I remember watching Robinson Crusoe three times when I was young, and I liked the theme of Survival on the Isolated Island. An inspirational film, reminds me of Bey~ This film also shows the American spirit, not sticking to conventions, daring to take risks, and developing common sense in an all-round way. Finally, after four years of returning, facing reality, he chose sacrifice. This film gave me the excitement of Wilson's departure, and it was very tangled. It is Wilson, and even more faith, that is drifting away.

    The modern version of Robinson Crusoe can survive on a desert island for 4 years. First, you have to overcome food, water, and maintain a healthy body. Because there is no medicine to cure you, a cold may take your life. And finally a brave heart. What supports Chuck’s persistence is his love for Kelly, and the climax of the story is the encounter of the "dead" Chuck and Kelly. The feeling of being a person and everything else makes people want to cry.
