However, the film really managed work despite that. The actual story, as well as the dramatic ticks in the flashbacks and even in the present, aren't anything we haven't seen before dozens of times. For some reason I didn't have that problem here. I had the same problem with 2007's Into The Wild, which so often prevented me from getting too involved with it. Usually this kind of heavy-edited, heavy- flashback-intercutting-with-main-story film alienates me emotionally for that reason. Still, despite very good reviews, there was always a severe lack of hype and passion it seemed (certainly here). No secret that I love one-man survival films (although this wasn't that type of "survival" film). My life, like all lives, mysterious, irrevocable, sacred, so very close, so very present, so very belonging to me. That seeing the fish beneath the surface of the water would be enough, that it was everything. I knew only that I didn't need to eat with my bare hands anymore. Now in 9 years, that man and I would have a son named Carver and a year later, a daughter named after my mother, Bobbi. I'll marry a man in a spot almost visible from where I was standing. Thankyou, I thought over and over again, for everything the trail had taught me and everything I couldn't yet know.Ĭheryl: Now in 4 years, I'd cross this very bridge. After I lost myself in the wilderness of my grief, I found my own way out of the woods.Ĭheryl: And I didn't even know where I was going until I got there, on the last day of my hike.
It took me 4 years, 7 months and 3 days to do it, without her.
Cheryl: It took me years to be the woman my mother raised.
