In 1986, the famous Australian film director Peter Weir's work "Mosquito Coast". Although this film was made 34 years ago, it is still a classic when viewed today. The film tells the story of the scientist and inventor Fox's outstanding creativity that makes his eldest son Charlie deeply admired, but his cynical personality makes him intolerant of his time and society, feeling the degeneration of American society. Fox and his family of five went to the mosquito coast of Africa, There, he bought a desolate village by the river, where Fox wanted to carve out his own utopian city. In that wild land, he used his superhuman wisdom to open up wasteland and cultivate the land. He started to manufacture the huge freezing machine he invented, built his homeland, and benefited the local aboriginal people. He seemed to be a diligent and good monarch. However, the good times didn't last long, and the Uto Castle, which he had worked so hard to build, was easily destroyed by a priest and three gangsters. Fox, who has nothing, would rather take his wife and two sons and two daughters to wander in the rivers of Africa, rather than accept help from others, let alone return to the metropolis of modern civilization. He even told his sons and daughters that the United States had been destroyed by nuclear weapons. . Although his wife and children could not accept this unsustainable misery life with nothing and nothing, Fox insisted on his life's direction like a stone. However, what did he rely on to realize his dream, who had nothing and betrayed his family, Fox burned down the church built by the priest in extreme disappointment and anger, and he also died under the priest's shotgun. This is the tragedy of an idealist who hopes to build a utopia through his own personal struggle. As long as you live on the earth, in the crowd, even if you are full of poetry and books, and your wisdom is superior, it is doomed to want to realize your dream through personal struggle. lose! Mr. Lao She's Luo Tuo Xiangzi, a man as strong and sturdy as a camel, wanted to build a happy home of his own with his brute-force work. is it possible? Xiangzi's personal struggles also came to nothing under the iron fist of the evil forces of society, but it was more unfortunate than the character Fox in the play that he degenerated into a camel-like beast.
When a person is about to die, his words are also good. Fox told his son before his death that humans evolved to walk upright at too much cost, losing the tough skin and hair to protect themselves from the cold, and the sharp claws that were used to counterattack when attacked. The heart and genitals are exposed in front of people, all this is hard to say that human beings are evolving! This kind of accusation is a reference to the embarrassing situation of modern civilization in reality. He quoted scriptures in his mouth, and even did not forget to mention which chapter of the classics his words were quoted from, and joked about which chapter of the Gospels the priest who persuaded him to believe in God said. Which page, but it is the pastor who nourishes and lives, not him. He himself died at the gunpoint of the priest, because the end of the phone line the priest held was in the hands of God.
