#River is so handsome# Peterwell's Aguirre, a madman who resisted human civilization was finally destroyed by civilization and nature. Will did not criticize much, but more about the so-called progress, the frequently-appearing perspective of God , the lonely raft in the river, the man in the jungle, abstracted from typical mythological archetypes reflecting on modern civilization, Schrader's script is great, and River has also successfully created a complex and profound...

A work of "Western Marxism" that should not be forgotten, unexpectedly beautiful. After watching this and combining the director's "The Truman World" and "Dead Poets Society" before, you can clearly see the director's (Western) ideological trend, on the one hand, criticize the existing social system-capitalism-consumerism. On the other hand, it is also very clear that any utopian attempt to break away from the existing society is doomed to fail. (In the movie) This utopia develops into a kind...

Growing up with the same deeply hostile pain, another version of Tara. The shadow of the father is so huge that the new world is wrapped in fog, and there is no way to get rid of it. Everything was uneventful, and Will's originality was never used...

It's ironic, the protagonist is smart, and looks down on religious priests, indigenous villagers, and so on. But he didn't win the hearts of the people, and even the family let him die...

He wanted to go all the way up the river. . Anti-civilization idealists are paranoid to a certain point, just like communists in the mouths of missionaries, and their downfall is inevitable. The tone was a little hurried, but in fact, when their island paradise was just built and a few visions to celebrate the success of ice-making came out, I knew he wouldn't be able to live long. As he grows wilder and more unreasonable, the fairy tale turns into a disaster movie. Fortunately, the children...

Another madman in the jungle, an allegory reflecting on modern civilization, a microcosm of a civilization from its birth to its destruction. I saw "Fitzcarado" and "The Wrath of God Aguirre", and I saw "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Marquez, ice is civilization. The footage of the film is exquisite, River's monologue is very eye-catching, and the 15-year-old River's beauty is...

Mosquito Coast: Madman Rhapsody
Humans were born in a flawed world, the
human body is a bad design, the
skin is not thick enough, the hair is too little,
no claws and fangs,
standing up exposes our heart and genitals,
we should be on all fours with more hair growing Tail,
our life should start from the waning years of our lives... -

The short review has exceeded the word count, so I have the following
Civilization has developed to this day, are we going backwards or forwards? Daddy sees 20th century America as dangerous it's devastated and about to be destroyed He desperately wants to rebuild a superior civilization but sending ice cubes across the rainforest is so stupid that it might have...

[first lines]
Charlie: My father was an inventor, a genius with anything mechanical. Nine patents, six pending. He dropped out of Harvard, "to get an education", he said. I grew up with the belief that the world belonged to him, and that everything he said was true.
Allie Fox: Look around ya, how did America get this way? Land of promise, land of opportunity. Give us the wretched refuse of your teeming shores. Have a Coke. Watch TV.
Charlie: Have a nice day.
Allie Fox: Go on welfare. Get free money. Turn to crime - crime pays in this country.
Charlie: [laughs]
Allie Fox: Why do they put up with it? Why do they keep coming? Look around you Charlie, this place is a toilet.

Allie Fox: Look at this place, these are poor people. Look at what they own. Look at what they eat, they don't have meat, but they have asparagus that they cut.
Jerry Fox: I don't think we should be here.
Allie Fox: They welcome visitors, son. It's an old custom of theirs from the jungle. Be kind to strangers they say, you never know when you might be one yourself. That's the law of the jungle.
Charlie: But this isn't the jungle dad.
Allie Fox: No? No, because no jungle is as murderous as this is. They traded green trees for this room. It's pathetic. And it makes me mad, because they're going to end up being part of the problem.
Allie Fox: It would take courage to go there.
Charlie: Go where?
Allie Fox: The jungle. Not ordinary gumption, but 4 o'clock in the morning courage.
[glancing toward his boys]
Allie Fox: And who's got that?
