Many great things can be said about this film – the story, the actors, and the visually appealing natural settings – but perhaps greater things can be said about the messages it want to communicate and the emotions it evoked among those who have seen it.
The idea of escaping the life you currently have and to run far away to live the way you want it is something I have always been thinking. It felt like the movie is telling me how to do it and why shouldn’t I do it. What Chris (or Alex) did was actually liberating and was indicative of the innate human capacity to live only with needs and in the absence of wants. However, it also reminds us that life was not meant to be lived alone but was meant to be shared.
It is painful to realize that he learned his lesson in his death. But he did not simply died, he died without regretting what he went through. His pains were redeemed by his realization that happiness [is] real when shared.
aww.. Alexander Supertramp (tama ba alala ko?).. nakakasad yung ending, kung kelan gusto niya na bumalik, saka hindi na pwede.. tsktsk.. owel.. haha!
The ending was the saddest part. Nakaka-B-I-T-I-N. Kung kelan natututo na, tsaka pa mamamatay. But I think that by crashing the viewers’ hearts would help them remember the lesson.
