Beautiful like diamonds in the forest

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2015)

People have always told me good about this picture, and due to its presumably intelligent subject, I decided watching it last night. Chris is an apparently regular American guy, whose life was once designed to repeat the ordinary lifestyle. However, Chris doesn't agree with the American dream, and starts living his life in the nature. Obviously, he goes through some bad moments, which is usual to happen when submitting someone to a complete new environment. In fact, this guy never gives up on his dreams, and that's one of the qualities he has. The photography directing is amazing, developing plenty of beautiful and relaxing moments. Overall directing, on the other hand, isn't that careful. For instance, it feels extremely implausible to see Hirsch's character changing his clothes all the time-- especially because the clothes are very fancy. Sometimes it just seemed he carried a closet in his packs. As far as I know, people on trips tend to carry just a few things, otherwise, the bag would be too heavy to carry on their backs. However, this poor detail doesn't spoil the film's qualities, so I can surely recommend it to those who enjoy adventure movies, especially involving nature. Congratulations to the team!
