"Out of the Wild" is adapted from the best-selling book. Although I have not read the novel, it is a pity that if the film is of the same quality as the best-selling book, then I will not read it. The story of this movie is really old-fashioned, basically a story about a journey of spiritual redemption that Hollywood will return to after a while. Do you still remember the popular movie "Little Miss Sunshine" in 2006? The journey of a family facing a breakdown and the story of each family member finding their lost selves at the end of the journey. The same goes for Out of the Wild.
The main line of the story is that Reese Witherspoon, who lost her mother and lost her marriage and was at a low point in her life, suddenly decided to start the long trek from the Mexican border to Canada because of a book about hiking. What we've seen is how Reese Witherspoon went from being a travel rookie full of fucks to being tough. The secondary lines of the story are between her and her mother, and between her and her ex-husband. Secondary lines are told in flashbacks. That said, the stories of the sidelines are basically what Reese Witherspoon came up with on and off during his travels. There is one thing I have to mention. In fact, our thinking is very jumpy, and we will think about things. If we record our daily meditations in order, it is estimated that no one but ourselves can understand them. Then, after a few days, I couldn't even read it myself. But we often say that film is an art of storytelling. In order to consider that the audience can understand, the director connected the thoughts and thoughts of Reese Witherspoon in the order we can understand, so we can see a complete and understandable inner world of the heroine.
No matter how fragile Americans are, because of the death of their mother, they used drugs and promiscuous sex, and left their husbands who loved them so much. Finally, they went home early and prepared to surprise their wife. The husband caught rape in bed, the whole American version Do not do not die. The sub-line probably brought to the audience that Reese Witherspoon loved her mother, and her mother died; Reese Witherspoon also loved her husband, but after her mother died, she lost her feelings for her husband and fell into depravity. We see that throughout the movie, when Reese Witherspoon wakes up (in fact, he didn't really wake up, carrying a dozen condoms with him is just ready to go anytime), and he started a trip that just left. From my point of view, she was just trying to spoil her body in a different way. The previous drug use and promiscuity were ruining one's body, but this type of abuse was considered wrong and depraved by mainstream society; and the hiking that lacked water, food, and sleepless nights was praised as a spiritual journey. It is an ascetic mental exercise that starves the body and skin and labors the muscles and bones. Both of these are actually irresponsible and huge harm to the body. The latter is not necessarily more noble, because it can also end the heroine's life at any time.
Finally, when Reese Witherspoon finally reaches the end, the director may feel that it is too third-rate to let the protagonist get redemption, and it does not give her an immediate epiphany. A voice-over reminds us that four years later she has re-entered the mainstream social life model, and, like her beloved mother, has given birth to two children.
Well, in fact, this movie is not that bad, especially when the bad movies in your country’s theaters are flying around, I almost forgot what a good movie is, and there are a few scenes in the movie that children don’t like , how many people are shocked. One of them I personally think is a good shot, I won't tell you which part it is. Of course, for those who are bruised by love at every turn, or vulnerable people who need to go to Lhasa to purify their spirituality, if you don't have the courage to hike to Yunnan or Lhasa, you might as well watch this movie or "Desert Camel" "Shadow Tracks" lewd it.
