Maybe you don't know how long it will take for your heart to reach the bottom

It has been ten months since I watched the movie, and the idea of ​​leaving has been brewing for ten months.

Last night, I finally bought all kinds of large items, arranged various itineraries, met people who should be seen and shouldn't, dressed neatly and looked in the mirror, and looked very human-the day after tomorrow I will leave.

In exchange for US dollars, it is not the Pacific Ridge.

In a bunch of innocuous comments, whether it is questioning the heroine's pretentiousness, or expressing encouragement, there is no text that empathizes with me. I really want to say: The power of this film is more than that!


Before embarking on the journey, the heroine encountered three things:
1. Divorce from her lover
2. Death of her mother
3. Abandoning herself


These three things are gradual, and one is worse than the other.
I dare not assert that I feel the same, at least I can express the relevant feelings.


Separate from your lover. Everyone has a voice in the pain of lovelorn. Compared with other emotions, lovelorn suffers an unacceptable self-denial. For some reason, it is always easy to bring sad people into alcohol and wanton sex. The heroine just goes a step further and, thanks to the United States, directly enters the world of drugs.

Regarding the death of a close relative, Yi Shu's description is particularly accurate: "The person who gave birth to me is no longer there, and no matter how much happiness is discounted, I am very helpless." It is wrong for you to be unhappy, because you are sorry for your flesh and blood relatives, it is wrong for you to be happy, have you forgotten that people are dead, it is wrong for others to be unhappy, how can their pain be compared with yours, and the happiness of others is even more wrong, they I'm forgetting you bit by bit, which makes my heart hurt even more. With this state of mind, you will naturally feel that what you do, what is wrong, what is right, what is achieved is no longer meaningful.


If you don't get better, you don't know how bad it will get.


Ben has a mother who is full of life energy like sunshine, and a lover who is like a horse. He has read a lot of books, and can tell very eye-catching big truths. But today I walked out of the supermarket, how come I only have the chaotic pleasure brought by alcohol, I can't remember the face or body of the last man I fucked, and I have to kill the little life that came out of my stomach for no reason.

to the point of being so bad.
There is nothing to lose, I am afraid of losing.
Combined with a sense of numbness to fear, security, common sense, and a strong sense of self-punishment, such a masochistic journey is a must, and the sooner the better.
As for the Pacific Ridge, it's just a coincidence.


The only part I don't like or understand is that the heroine's redemption to herself at the end is to the effect that maybe she wants to have sex in the first place, so she wants a divorce, so why not forgive herself. It is true that we all need a subjective reason to forgive ourselves, and even the slightest hope in the gloom is worth it. However, I believe that people are human because there is reason that can lead us to do better and more correct things, such as if there is a next time, when we know that we are going to lose control, go to the Pacific Ridge first, maybe to yourself Be nice to those around you who love you.



In fact, the above feelings and reactions are also my personal mental journey. There is no harm in being vulnerable once more. mutual encouragement. By the way, I wish you a safe and successful trip to the Himalayas the day after tomorrow.

    The director used fragmented memories to reproduce a woman's self-salvation, which made the story seem very complete, and in the case of severely insufficient drama tension, only relying on uninterrupted lyrical music to complete the smooth narration and editing. There are no obvious signs of exertion in this film. Its story will even make travel friends feel hypocritical and run-down, but the enlightenment and human touch behind it is very lethal, not to mention the scenery along the way. ★★★

    It's a very good film, I grew up on the journey

Wild quotes

  • Cheryl: [voiceover] What if I forgive myself? What if I was sorry? But if I could go back in time, I wouldn't do a single thing differently. What if I wanted to sleep with every single one of those men? What if heroin taught me something? What if all those things I did were the things that got me here? What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?

  • [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?
