Quest for Affirmation from the Nothingness

"Tyler: In the end there were no simple answers. No heroes or villians; only silence."

If you have never seen the movie Never Cry Wolf then you are doing yourself a great injustice. There is more in that movie then most have in their entire career. The theme of the movie really makes you want to go out into the wilderness and challenge yourself. There is even a line in the movie where the main character, Tyler, says, "I want to say thank you straight out into nothingness". I can't remember if these are the exact words but the message is the same.

And in this he has made a revelation.

The character throughout the movie undergoes a severe development and adaptation to his surroundings. Let me re-evaluate that statement. It is more he is allowed to open up more of himself. More of what is inside of him. This nature that he develops over time is something that has always had inside of him, and self discovery is fueled by the situation he finds himself in. Isn't that what it is really about? The experience, the findings. Self discovery indeed. See the movie. No matter what it takes. There aren't many now-a-days that can achieve what this one did.

Keep your eyes up.
