Triple A Movie Review: Into the Wild (2007), On the Road of Finding Myself

This film is a very special self-redemptive film. The director uses the documentary lens to capture the hero's pursuit and understanding of the inner real life. The film is quite clever in the color tone of the lens or the dialogue of the characters. This also makes the film an excellent work with high visibility and life revelation. The film won the 8th American Film Institute's annual best film award, won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song Award, and was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor and Best Editing of the 80th Academy Awards. The film is adapted from the real story and shows the legendary life of an idealist. The protagonist Chris's family is excellent, and he is a top student in a privately-owned Atlanta school. His future is bright. However, after graduating from school, he chose a different life, gave up enviable work, donated money to charity, and went to Alaska to find himself. In the discouragement of his family, he embarked on a long road to return to nature and became a veritable wanderer. Along the way, he met many people and suffered several challenges from survival in the wild. Every step was full of hardships. He practiced the dream of finding himself with tenacity.

Looking back at the movie market in recent years, there are many people who talk about life, and there are many fictional inspirational stories. But the real pursuit of the ultimate pursuit of life is not much. This movie is one of the few films that has done a good job. Sean Penn’s visual rendering makes people feel that the protagonist is free from social constraints and bravely pursues his own heart. The director's grasp of the film's color and scene is very accurate and true. When the hero Christopher is calm, the tone becomes calm and the waves return to calm. When Christopher is full of happiness, the warmth of the picture and composition makes the audience easily follow Christopher to enter the inner world of his exile. Because it is a legendary adventure theme, the film uses the natural scene in the environment in the color and light to construct the character's emotions, so that the emotion of the whole film and the hero's mood of Christopher are integrated into one.

The story to be told in the film is very simple, but it is very complicated. The simple one is the story. The complexity is the living state and philosophical thinking of modern people reflected in the inner heart. As a young man who has long been bound by family and social rules, Christopher tries to re-examine the true meaning of life. The meaning of life is not to be busy making money, losing life, and the value of life is not to pay for the maintenance of hypocritical interpersonal relationships. The real meaning of life is to find yourself and find freedom. The director has taken a lot of things that people don't want to do. Christopher is a microcosm of all those who are trapped in social restrictions. He takes people's inner desire for freedom and self to embark on his own adventure, going all over the coast and mountains and rivers. The director wants to express the ultimate happiness of this life.

For the entire film, the script based on real events greatly enhances the persuasiveness and appeal of the story. The director uses a person's journey to metaphorize the life of a person. The story is a good way to expand the film's discussion of how to spend life. The full-length lens language is mature, and the soundtrack fits the theme. The director injects another kind of lively life into Christopher, which arouses the strong resonance of modern people. Maybe we should think about how our life should be spent, just like Christopher wrote before his death. "My life is very happy", although short-lived, compared with most people, but lived its own meaning and value.
