Last month, I watched a movie called ‘Captain Fantastic’.
The movie is about a married couple with six kids that live in a forest of the Pacific Northwest of America. Ben, the father, hates the city and the modern lifestyle, so he decided with his wife to raise his children in the wilderness, isolated from the city.
They were living happily, until a tragedy happened, Ben’s wife, Leslie, got very ill and passed away.
Leslie’s parents want to have their daughter’s funeral in a church in the city, even though she was atheist. The angered widowed husband wants to stop the funeral and wants to celebrate Leslie’s life the way that she wanted, by burning her body and throwing her ashes down the toilet.
The family leave their little paradise to fight for the mothers will. They now discover the city and its residents.
The movie leaves you in question: Is Ben the best father for isolating them from the new changing world, or the worse?
What do you think?
