In addition to authoritative magazines such as "Empire" and "Cinebook", the professional film magazine "Sight and Hearing" obviously has a far-reaching perspective.
"In the Bible, Adam and Eve stole the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden and were finally cast out to the mortal world. Since then, people who have committed original sin have been searching for the lost paradise all the time.
After the industrial civilization destroyed the poetic pastoral life, after science and technology had been regarded as the highest belief, after the depravity of the materialistic people, batch after batch of sensitive but at a loss poets chose to escape, choose Wandering, chose to return to nature.
The calling of Jack London, the howling of Alan Ginsburg, the wandering of Jack Kerouac, and the choice of eighty-two-year-old Tolstoy to run away from home in his twilight years, to be with him. The world that he hated and criticized for a lifetime was completely broken, and finally, on that cold autumn night, he died alone on a desolate and unnamed station.
All this, young Christopher saw it in his eyes, put it on his lips, and remembered it in his heart.
Each of us has moments like this when we want to impulsively raise the middle finger to this society, and then leave everything in style and leave without taking a cloud with a wave of our sleeves. When I see the photos of the travelers on the Internet, I can't help myself. In the photos, there are clear blue sky, towering snow-capped mountains, dusty travelers, and the vast land. Compared with the vast world, human beings are so small.
So, when we see Christopher achieve what we can't, get rid of all the constraints, in the light melody and clear sunshine, in the morning mist and green jungle, walk freely, without tears. This is envy to distressed tears.
In Evan Bell's lens, melodious music and beautiful delicacy blend into a simple and cordial friendship, romantic and restrained love, sincere and profound family affection, hippies and gypsy tramps living in wandering... Everything is in such a stark contrast with the constant friction in the family, the indifferent material affection, the busy and harsh traffic in the city, and the indifferent and rude law enforcement, let us involuntarily be sensitive, intelligent, persistent and brave. of young people with infinite hope.
'Go after your dreams', says his sister Karina. So he left, cut off everything, without turning back, but the meditation and arrogance of this lonely wanderer, with the condemnation and rejection of social moral values, went to the wilderness that poets yearn and sing about.
Yes, maybe he's inexperienced, maybe he doesn't know how to hunt and store prey, he can't even distinguish wild plants, and he can't even see basic equipment such as thermal underwear, sunglasses, high-top hiking shoes, first-class equipment, etc.
But, right up until the very last moment, we were reluctant to believe that Chris just left. I can't tell if I don't want to believe that Chris is leaving, or I don't want to believe that our inner desire for freedom and dreams is shattered.
At the last moment of his life, Chris realized the true meaning of happiness. Tolstoy's 'Family and Happiness' gave him great inspiration. With the accumulation of family, love and friendship along the way, he finally saw happiness. looks like.
You know, in Richard Zacks' 'An Alternative History of Western Civilization', Thoreau, a recluse who has become a myth, is exposed to us, 'The Son of Nature still wants to be on weekends Run home and lick clean the jars of pastry at home. ’ It turns out that the village of Concord, where Thoreau’s mother and sister lived, was just two miles from Walden Pond, and they brought him a basket full of food every Saturday,
Many of my friends were regulars there, and there was even a party in front of Thoreau's cabin. 'In the time of Thoreau's seclusion, this place, which had been made a lonely place, was even crowded with twenty-five visitors for a while. ,
Therefore, Chris also understands that tolerance and love, family and happiness, are always part of happiness that cannot be ignored. Maybe nature can realize his desire for freedom and complete his life, but in his happy territory, family, friends, and lovers should also be the parts that cannot be given up. The seclusion of the body and the seclusion of the mind have always been two different things. Chris chose to go back.
However, Chris was not able to complete the great reversal of his life, and a big river blocked his way home. So Chris left, with his own ideals, with his own happiness, with his own freedom, looking at the brilliant blue sky, and quietly closed his eyes.
At this moment, we can't stop crying,
Humans have both natural and social attributes. This is an undeniable fact. How not to lose yourself in this materialistic society, the seclusion of the mind is the most important thing. While seclusion is the pursuit of body and mind, what is the difference between man and beast.
At the end of 'Survival in the Wild', Chris understands this, but he doesn't have a chance to change that fact. But luckily, we still have a chance. We admire Chris's courage, determination and perseverance, his yearning for freedom awakens the inner desire of everyone; but at the same time, Evan Bell uses his most unique 'horn to tell us a deeper reflection. "Life is precious, and love is more valuable. If it is freedom, both can be thrown away." However, freedom is not escape, seclusion, or disappearance, but our attitude towards life.
From Evan Bell's footage, there are too many things to dig out. Maybe, we all need to calm down, think about Chris' life, think about Chris' departure, and think about Chris's thoughts, Then ask yourself: what about me? What about my freedom? At this time, maybe a tear will fall on our face, but there is a rainbow shining in this tear. "
The review of "Sight and Hearing" further excavated the connotation of the film "Wild Survival", as Evan Bell's consistent feature, reflection, this is an eternal theme, but everyone has different answers, we All you need is to understand for yourself.
Among the many comments, Chris Fair Punk of "Movie Review" is naturally a member that cannot be ignored. This time, Chris Fair Punk's feelings are obviously more profound than many people.
"Long time after watching the movie, I couldn't believe that Chris was really dead, how I wish his death was just an illusion, one of Evan Bell's pranks on me; it was just He came back to his family, a nightmare waking up from his slumber early in the morning. But I know this ending wasn't made up, it wasn't an ending that Evan Bell chose for a story that couldn't end—death. I know, this death The terrible ending that comes to an end is reality. In reality, this idealist, who is only twenty-four years old, handed over his life, body and last ideal of soul to that remote and wild Alaska.
This is probably the first and only time in my life that I don't want to see the end of the movie. Perhaps, such an ending is not a cup, and there are countless endings that are more terrible than this, but it makes me unable to extricate myself from the heartache. When Chris's last stuttering breath mingled with the flowing clouds over Alaska, when I saw his inner longing to return to his family's dream, flashed at the last moment when he died. Yes my heart is already tangled with Chris and I even hope, God, let this not be a movie, or let this not have happened, just let me follow this otherworldly boy, together Go to Alaska, and finally be able to save him from the danger of his life, go home together, write a thick travel journal, and then live happily.
Perhaps, in a Hollywood movie, a happy ending is the most vulgar ending, but at this moment I hope that God can give me the right to have such a cliche ending. I know, I'm just a spectator after all, and a sincere movie made me meet Chris, and I can't help but envy him. His stubbornness, his impulsiveness, his idealism, his freedom... But in fact, he is a simple big boy, hoping to walk into nature and find his own definition of happiness there. Fortunately, he found it; unfortunately, he failed to make it happen.
I kept thinking that if Chris had not died and had returned home safely, he would have been a hero, a successful and brave hiker, a household hero in America. However, Chris died, and he was blamed for being irresponsible to his family and those who loved him, for selfishly pursuing his own ideals; for foolishly desperate and unprepared for going into the wild.
But I suddenly realized that no matter whether Chris returned home safely or not, he is a hero, because he died on his own way of chasing his dream, he died on his own journey of seeking happiness, so he died with no regrets.
What Chris escaped was not his family, but the cruelty and hypocrisy of this society; what Chris went to was not Alaska, but his inner utopia and ivory tower; what Chris pursued was not freedom, but the courage and determination to realize his dream ; What Chris is looking for is not happiness, but the way and key to complete self-sublimation.
On this road, Chris's wanton publicity brought tears to our eyes. Maybe we don't even know the reason for the tears, but the shock and emotion in our hearts came to our faces. Youth is only once, and life is only once, have you found your own meaning? "
Compared with the "Premier"-led criticism, from "The New York Times" to "Empire", from "Cinema Manual" to "Sight and Sound", from "Film Review" to "Village Voice", for "Wilderness" Survival" were unanimously praised. Perhaps after the release of "Wild Survival", there will still be a road full of thorns, but for Evan Bell in this movie, everything is not important, because this is the communication of "Wild Survival" Comes out of the real meaning, doesn't it?
