In fact, it is not far from us. . .

The cold and warm slowly finally came to an end. . . But the picture and the music kept me coming back for a long time, and of course the whole story.
The last photo of CHIRSTOPHER smiled so enthusiastically, regretful and reluctant. He ended the legend inadvertently in his own way.
This is a documentary film. There has always been such a group of people in the world, outside the vision of most people. I have met a lot of such people, or the group of people floating on the road have such characteristics, but people in this circle can only be encountered on the road.
CHRISTOPHER's attitude towards life is undoubtedly very extreme, which may be related to his life experience. The lies made up by his parents made him feel that he was living in a very unreal world. He abandoned his name, property and everything that could prove his past existence to find the most original and real life. However, it also ignores many very real things in life, such as the love of his parents and sisters for him and the care and help of others along the way. People, when blind, become paranoid. In the end, he found what he was looking for - a simple and real life, but he woke up in the loneliness before death, and happiness is only happiness when it is shared. As he wrote his final blessing, wishing his family, those who helped him along the way, and everyone in the world happiness, he signed his own real name, Chritopher McCandless.
People drifting on the road are all people with stories. There is such a saying among those who drift in Lhasa, which is called "Three Lost Crowds", lovelorn, unemployment and disorder. Among them, the first two are the reasons, and the last one is the state in the eyes of others. Of course, the first "loss" can expand the whole relationship, and it does not necessarily refer to love; the second is naturally career, voluntary unemployment For the third one, the degree of loss varies greatly, and CHRISTOPHER is an ashes loss. Therefore, most people who live a happy life will not wander, because there are too many people to worry about and too many things to give up.
In fact, I think this state of three losses is normal and very healthy. Only when you lose it will you know how to cherish it. If you boil a frog in warm water, it will become more and more rotten, more and more depressed, and live an unhappy and false life.
It is a pity for CHRISTOPHER. He never intended to end his life like this. The woolen hat he hangs on the treetop is his deep attachment and reluctance. If he can cross that river and return to a civilized society , I think his life will be very happy and true.
Remember the beat generation, the hippies wore laurels, held flowers, sang bohemian, or wandered together or alone. But after the years have passed, most have returned, and the adventures of youth have become memories and glory.
How to say the ending of CHRISTOPHER, maybe it was just a technical mistake, maybe this mistake really made the story more touching and thought-provoking.
Finally, you must not ignore the risks of the outdoors. Not only in the wilderness, but also in unfamiliar places, different geographical, natural and human environments need to be well prepared. I have been educated. . . Even if it is an adventure, prepare as fully as possible. I usually participate in various outdoor rescue trainings. I have nothing to do with MAN VS.NATURE, read more books, and study more.

Into the Wild quotes

  • Carine McCandless: [voice-over] The year Chris graduated high school, he bought the Datsun used and drove it cross-country. He stayed away most of the summer. As soon as I heard he was home, I ran into his room to talk to him. In California, he'd looked up some old family friends. He discovered that our parents' stories of how they fell in love and got married were calculated lies masking an ugly truth. When they met, Dad was already married. And even after Chris was born, Dad had had another son with his first wife, Marcia, to whom he was still legally married. This fact suddenly redefined Chris and me as bastard children. Dad's arrogance made him conveniently oblivious to the pain he caused. And Mom, in the shame and embarassment of a young mistress, became his accomplice in deceit. The fragility of crystal is not a weakness but a fineness. My parents understood that a fine crystal glass had to be cared for or it may be shattered. But when it came to my brother, they did not seem to know or care that their course of secret action brought the kind of devastation that could cut them. Their fraudulent marriage and our father's denial of his other son was, for Chris, a murder of every day's truth. He felt his whole life turn, like a river suddenly reversing the direction of its flow, suddenly running uphill. These revelations struck at the core of Chris' sense of identity. They made his entire childhood seem like fiction. Chris never told them he knew and made me promise silence, as well.

  • Carine McCandless: With almost a year having passed since Chris' disappearance my parents' anger had turned to desperation. Their guilt was giving way to pain. And pain seemed to bring them closer. Even their faces had changed. She convinces herself it's Chris, that's her son whenever she passes a stray. And I fear for the mother in her. Instincts that seem to sense the threat of a loss so huge and irrevocable that the mind balks at taking its measure. I had begun to wonder if I can understand what Chris is saying any longer. But I catch myself and remember that these are not the parents I grew up with. That people soften by the forced reflection that comes with loss. Still everything Chris is saying has to be said. And I trust that everything he is doing has to be done. This is our life.
