Into the Wilderness – love the title.
The process of physical entry, the heart, has been moving through love: friends, parents, lovers...
This movie is the second time I have seen it. For the first time many years ago, the details were blurred, but the feeling of shock was always there. In the process of watching it, I once thought desperately: "Love, is the cloud in the sky, does not belong to him..." Seeing the end, his father fell to the middle of the highway and thought, "Love has always been there, it is he who has chosen to be alone..."
The mother who had lost her son stroked Christopher's chin and asked, "Does your mother know where you are?" ”
This big boy who is sensitive to feelings, when he dies, must be attached to his mother's warm hand...
His innocence and naivety are self-evident: walking the wilderness, did he think about the guilt and pain of his family? Have you thought about completing the responsibilities and obligations of higher education adults to society?
All long journeys are escape.
If his trip to the wilderness is only a small experience of life, it can be another matter, but his original intention is not so, and the actual consequences have also caused the escape to never return.
The wilderness, Christopher's ideal country, has a purity that he imagined Chinese the world does not have, he gave it utopian beauty, and in the end, because of the accidental eating of poisonous plants, because the flood blocked the way back, because of the severance of contact with mankind, in extreme hunger and loneliness, he lost his young life...
There is no doubt that in his heart, he has found his lost self.
The wilderness, this double symbol of barrenness and abundance, he is entering and exiting.
He died early, but he had already lived "a lifetime".
Both escape and searching should be oriented to the heart.
Reality is not perfect, and the wilderness is not perfect.
Man is social and natural, and society and nature can never be simply separated. In the history of civilization for thousands of years, where is there a pure land that human beings have not touched? You yourself have been "eroded" by civilization, and with your own strength, how can you return to the wild and control life?
Let Christopher be a pioneer!
The pure and ideal place of this world, in the heart.
