In addition to authoritative magazines such as "Empire" and "Cinema Manual", the professional film magazine "Sight and Sound" obviously has a far-reaching perspective.

​​

"In the Bible, Adam and Eve stole the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden and were finally cast out to the mortal world. Since then, people who have committed original sin have been looking for the lost paradise all the time.

​​

After industrial civilization destroyed the poetic pastoral life, after science and technology had been regarded as the highest belief, after the depravity of materialistic people, batch after batch of sensitive but at a loss poets chose to escape, choose Wandering, chose to return to nature.

​​

The calling of Jack London, the howling of Alan Ginsburg, the wandering of Jack Kerouac, and the choice of eighty-two-year-old Tolstoy to run away from home in his twilight years, to be with him. The world that he hated and criticized for a lifetime was completely broken, and finally, on that cold autumn night, he died alone on a desolate and nameless station.

​​

All this, young Christopher saw it in his eyes, put it on his lips, and remembered it in his heart.

​​

Every one of us has a moment like this, when we want to impulsively raise the **** to this society, then leave everything unrestrained and leave without taking a cloud with a wave of our sleeves. When I see the photos of the travelers on the Internet, I can't help myself. In the photos, there are clear blue sky, towering snow-capped mountains, dusty travelers, and the vast land. Compared with the vast world, human beings are so small.

​​

So, when we see Christopher achieve what we can't, get rid of all restraints, walk freely in the light melody and clear sunshine, in the morning mist and green jungle, we can't help but burst into tears. This is envy to distressed tears.

​​

In Evan Bell's lens, melodious music and beautiful delicacy blend into a simple and cordial friendship, romantic and restrained love, sincere and profound family affection, hippies and gypsy tramps living in wandering... Everything is in such a stark contrast with the constant friction in the family, the indifferent material affection, the busy and harsh traffic in the city, and the indifferent and rude law enforcers, which makes us involuntarily sensitive, intelligent, persistent and brave of young people with infinite hope.

​​

"Go after your dreams," says his sister Karina. So he left, cut off everything, without turning back, but the meditation and arrogance of this lonely wanderer, with the condemnation and rejection of social moral values, went to the wilderness that poets yearn and sing about.

​​

Yes, maybe he is inexperienced, maybe he doesn't know how to hunt and store prey, and he can't even distinguish wild plants, and he can't even see basic equipment such as thermal underwear, sunglasses, high-top hiking shoes, and first-class equipment.

​​

However, until the last moment, we still didn't want to believe that Chris just left. I can't tell if it's because I don't want to believe that Chris is leaving, or I don't want to believe that our inner desire for freedom and dreams is shattered.

​​

At the last moment of his life, Chris realized the true meaning of happiness. Tolstoy's 'Family and Happiness' gave him a great inspiration. With the accumulation of family, love and friendship along the way, he finally saw happiness. looks like.

​​

You know, in Richard Zacks' 'An Alternative History of Western Civilization', Thoreau, a recluse who has become a myth, was exposed to us, 'The Son of Nature still wants to be on weekends Run home and lick clean the jars of pastry at home. ' It turns out that the village of Concord, where Thoreau's mother and sister lived, was just two miles from Walden Pond. There was a party in front of Luo's cabin. 'In the time of Thoreau's seclusion, this place, which had been made a lonely place, was even crowded with twenty-five visitors for a while. ,

​​

So, Chris also understood that tolerance and love, family and happiness are always part of happiness that cannot be ignored. Maybe nature can realize his desire for freedom and complete his life, but in his happy territory, family, friends, and lovers should also be the parts that cannot be given up. The seclusion of the body and the seclusion of the mind have always been two different things. Chris chose to go back.

​​

However, Chris was unable to complete the great reversal of his life, and a big river blocked his way home. So Chris left, with his own ideals, with his own happiness, with his own freedom, looking at the brilliant blue sky, and quietly closed his eyes.

At this moment, we can't stop crying,

​​

Humans have both natural and social attributes. This is an undeniable fact. How not to lose yourself in this materialistic society, the seclusion of the mind is the most important thing, and what is the difference between man and beast when he pursues seclusion at the same time as the body and mind.

​​

At the end of "Survival in the Wilderness", Chris understands this, but he has no chance to change this fact. But luckily, we still have a chance. We admire Chris's courage, determination and perseverance, his yearning for freedom awakens the inner desire of everyone; but at the same time, Evan Bell uses his most unique 'horn to tell us a deeper reflection. "Life is precious, and love is more expensive. If it is freedom, both can be thrown away." However, freedom is not escape, seclusion or disappearance, but our attitude towards life.

​​

From Evan Bell's footage, there are too many things to dig out. Maybe, we all need to calm down, think about Chris' life, think about Chris' departure, and think about Chris's thoughts, Then ask yourself: what about me? What about my freedom? At this time, maybe a tear will fall on our face, but there is a rainbow shining in this tear. "

​​

The review of "Sight and Hearing" further excavated the connotation of the film "Wild Survival", as Evan Bell's consistent feature, reflection, this is an eternal theme, but everyone has different answers, we All you need is to understand for yourself.

​​

Among the many comments, Chris Fairbank of "Movie Review" is naturally a member that cannot be ignored. This time, Chris Fairbank's feelings are obviously more profound than many people.

​​

"Long time after watching the movie, I couldn't believe that Chris was really dead, how I wish his death was just an illusion, one of Evan Bell's pranks on me; it was just He came back to his family, a nightmare waking up from his sleep in the morning. But I know this ending is not made up, it is not the ending that Evan Bell chose for a story that cannot end - death. I know, this death The terrible ending that comes to an end is reality. In reality, this idealist, who is only twenty-four years old, handed over his life, body and last ideal of soul to that remote and wild Alaska.

​​

This is probably the first and only time in my life that I don't want to see the end of the movie. Perhaps, such an ending is not a cup, and there are countless endings that are more terrible than this, but it makes me unable to extricate myself from the heartache. When Chris's last stuttering breath mingled with the flowing clouds over Alaska, when I saw his inner longing to return to his family's dream, flashed at the last moment when he died. Yes my heart is already tangled with Chris and I even hope, God, let this not be a movie, or let this not have happened, just let me follow this otherworldly boy, together Go to Alaska, and finally be able to rescue him from the danger of his life, accompany him home, write a thick travel journal, and then live happily.

​​

Perhaps, in Hollywood movies, a happy ending is the most vulgar ending, but at this moment, I hope that God can give me the right to have such a vulgar ending. I know I'm just a spectator after all, and a sincere movie made me meet Chris and admire him more than anything. His stubbornness, his impulsiveness, his idealism, his freedom... But in fact, he is a simple big boy, hoping to walk into nature and find his own definition of happiness there. Fortunately, he found it; unfortunately, he failed to make it happen.

​​

I kept thinking that if Chris had not died, but had returned home safely, he would have become a hero in people's hearts, a successful and brave hiker, a household hero in America. However, Chris died, so he was blamed by people, people blamed him for being irresponsible to his family and those who loved him, and just selfishly pursuing his own ideals; people blamed him for foolishly desperately throwing everything did not do Head into the wild whenever you're ready.

​​

But I suddenly realized that no matter whether Chris returned home safely or not, he was a hero, because he died on the road of chasing his dream, he died on the journey of seeking happiness, so he died without regret.

​​

What Chris escaped was not his family, but the ruthlessness and hypocrisy of this society; what Chris went to was not Alaska, but his inner utopia and ivory tower; what Chris pursued was not freedom, but the courage and determination to realize his dream ; What Chris is looking for is not happiness, but the way and key to complete self-sublimation.

​​

On this road, Chris's wanton publicity brought tears to our eyes. Maybe we don't even know the reason for the tears, but the shock and emotion in our hearts came to our face. Youth is only once, and life is only once, have you found your own meaning? "

​​

Compared with the "Premier"-led criticism, from "The New York Times" to "Empire", from "Cinebook" to "Sight and Sound", from "Film Review" to "Village Voice", for "Wilderness" Survival" were unanimously praised. Perhaps after the release of "Wild Survival", there will still be a road full of thorns, but for Evan Bell in this movie, everything is not important, because this is the communication of "Wild Survival" Comes out of the real meaning, doesn't it?
