#Power Film Critics# #Zeng Xiansen's View# "Wilderness Survival": This is a legend of idealists, this is a wandering story.
Is this a sad ending, this stunned backpacker bent on returning to nature, just wishful thinking, and in the end he dies, and the forests of Alaska do not accept him. These things he pursued, as much as the things he had disdained, abandoned him. So he died because there was no food.
A young man, with a privileged family, no worries about food and clothing, graduated from a prestigious school, and has a bright future, what an enviable state of life, should have seized the opportunity, achieved a career, glorified the ancestors, what a natural choice. But in this biographical "Wilderness Survival", a little fart boy named Christopher, but his brain was kicked by a donkey to give up all this, wandered himself, went to Alaska alone, and died of malnutrition, food poisoning, weakness and loneliness. How exactly should people live, and how should they live? Can you blame anyone for their lifestyle? The thinking left by the film for the audience is long and profound. The tragic death of the protagonist's last thin skin and bones will also make the audience sober enough. What is the price of one's quest for complete freedom? So sometimes, stick to what you love and pay a heavy price, and don't regret it, right?
In 2008, the film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in the Film category, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Editing at that year's Academy Awards.
