why do you call yourself a backpacker

I really like the director's entry point, but the anticlimactic is really hard to accept.

At the end, Richard's innocent smile when he saw the photo was simply weird, "I always believe in heaven, but it's not about where to go, but an inner experience. When you find that moment, it's eternity." To clarify this truth, I actually used the composition skills taught by primary and secondary school teachers-the ending point.

So, the experience of living as a savage in the forest, setting up a situation to kill four young people, and suffocating the patient to death all flowed out of Richard's body like a fart? Imagine the little loli in Hard Candy in the last shot, throwing off her bag and wearing a little red hood and walking towards her life, laughing intimately and innocently with her classmates on campus, or Alexander in "into the wild" leaving the wasteland He went back to modern life and found a job, because of his strong will and different understanding of life, which he has cultivated in the wasteland, he is proud of his career in the workplace...god damn it!

It is said that the director has shattered the ideals of many backpackers, and utopia has been shattered. However, many backpackers are no longer interpreting backpacker culture. Everyone wants to get rid of their shackles, change places, and even cross the ocean, but they all want to find someone Settle down comfortably, but - for what purpose? Or many people think that they are different from others, that their gameplay is the most original, integrated into the local cultural customs, and desperately want to draw a clear line with ordinary tourists.

What is a backpacker? It's not the north face, it's not a lonely planet, it's clear mountains, clear waters, deserts and lonely smoke, wild suburbs and ridges, prosperous cities, ancient roads and west wind highways, drunk and sing-along, dined, and slept, eating cold buns and drinking cold water, knowing bitterness and joy. Utopia? Clam, all in mind.

    Blu-ray reset. The island of Thailand in the movie is well chosen, and some of the filming methods are close to landscape documentaries. After re-watching, it still feels beautiful, and the original sound is also good. The translation name of "Psychedelic Beach" may be more suitable. Thailand here is not only a utopian secret, but also a degenerate place where tourists pour their desires (unfortunately, there is no more rehearsal), Boyle asked Xiao Li to perform a tribute to "Apocalypse Now" in the middle (the original film appeared directly in the front). ), but this section has no obvious connection with the previous and previous plots. The utopia here is in a tangle, often caught in the contradiction between modern productivity and supporting moral norms VS primitive lifestyle, and the companion who died after being bitten by a shark caused a moral controversy (unable to get modern medical treatment), sexual morality is still valid on the island (the four-corner relationship between Xiao Li and the heroine and others), they have to go to Thailand, which they despise to buy daily necessities, and the island where they desperately keep the coordinates is actually in the local area Under the control of drug dealers, people who rely on modern society have created an embarrassing third-world utopian corner. This irony is quite obvious, and it is also a good horror element. Either bright or confusing tones are quite in line with the plot

    Richard: And me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for, 'cause it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something, and if you find that moment... it lasts forever...
