This is the story of an ordinary American woman, cheryl strayed, who resolved her pain through hard travel, and found herself after walking the Pacific Roof Trail (4,286 kilometers in total) in 90 days. The movie is very exciting and attractive, but the shock to me is not the shooting skills of the movie itself, etc., but the empathy I feel. Whenever my negative emotions accumulate to a certain level, I choose to go hiking. I remember my first hike, like cherly, I put on my bag and walked away, wearing a pair of shoes that were not very suitable. 14 hours, 65 kilometers, through the city. In the second half of the journey, anger and other negative emotions erupted along with physical pain, and the idea of ​​giving up became stronger and stronger, but after insisting on the past, everything returned to calm. The last thought is to insist on walking the entire distance. Every step in the last 3 kilometers is very difficult and painful, but only by overcoming the pain can we experience the existence of life. It was already eleven o'clock when there was one-fifth of the way left. The hustle and bustle had subsided, with only taxis, lorries, homeless people, drunken men and women, and night-shift workers on the road. After three hours, the streets are empty, like a movie set, and it feels amazing, like Robert from I Am Legend. When I got to the end and saw the sea and the moon on the sea, I thought it was worth it. The loss and disappointment are gone, as cheryl experienced: "My life, like all life, is incredible, irreversible, sacred, very close, very real, very close to me. How crazy, Let him go." Tomorrow will be another day.

    A person will not be reborn just because of a trip, but the awareness behind it is the biggest meaning... The animal metaphor is also very interesting, and Sister Spoon's performance is great... At the end, I saw the little boy humming "Red River Valley" "Still weeping.

Wild quotes

  • [last lines]

    Cheryl: [voiceover] It took me years to be the woman my mother raised. It took me 4 years, 7 months and 3 days to do it, without her. After I lost myself in the wilderness of my grief, I found my own way out of the woods.

    [pause]

    Cheryl: And I didn't even know where I was going until I got there, on the last day of my hike. Thankyou, I thought over and over again, for everything the trail had taught me and everything I couldn't yet know.

    [pause]

    Cheryl: Now in 4 years, I'd cross this very bridge. I'll marry a man in a spot almost visible from where I was standing. Now in 9 years, that man and I would have a son named Carver and a year later, a daughter named after my mother, Bobbi. I knew only that I didn't need to eat with my bare hands anymore. That seeing the fish beneath the surface of the water would be enough, that it was everything. My life, like all lives, mysterious, irrevocable, sacred, so very close, so very present, so very belonging to me. How wild it was, to let it be?

  • Bobbi: I always wanted a room with a view.
