I've seen so many people saying they don't like this movie because main character is selfish, arrogant and naive and all other negative things. I don't find those things capable of ruining a movie, at least the character and the movie are interesting. Great story, brilliant acting, very nice landscape and music. 8,5/10
shareHe wasn't selfish or arrogant, he just wanted to be free. Many people in the US still live off the grid in the Appalachians or in Alaska. Some even live in vans such as an MLB pitcher who just signed a huge multi-million dollar contract still living in his VW. It's a lifestyle. 10 years ago, I almost packed up and left to Vegas to be a pro cash game poker player. I was good at it and I wanted to just live a life where I didn't have to worry so much and enjoy what I knew how to do best.
State champ in martial arts, trained with firearms, I eFF'n dare you!
A few points:-
Pros about the person (I would have liked to have met him):
a. Intelligent beyond his years
b. Wise beyond his years
c. Smart beyond his years
d. Insanely incredibly Gutsy and brave beyond his years
He had gone out to seek what 98% of humanity do not care a bit about. What IS THERE to life apart from the Society, money and the wants.
He never even contacted his poor sister.
Better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do!
