Human Nature

Beautiful film, beautiful scenery, really capturing the reality of hiking on your own. The silence, the routine of setting up camp and breaking it down, the happiness of finding a hut with the luxury of a real bed and a roof, the physical exhaustion, the nuisances of rain and cold, and the realisation of risk when you get lost. Although I was wondering why the main character never seems to read. When I hike on my own, books (e-books, audio-books) are my company.

Don't forget to watch the 'making of' series, which shows you so much more detail and insight onto the whole process of filming and how the crew lived the experience of hiking.

I came across the movie *Human Nature* on TikTok, and the trailer immediately caught my attention. As a big fan of travel and hiking films, I was especially excited to see a female protagonist. Having just returned from a hiking trip in Norway, my expectations were high.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I rented the movie for 6.99, but it didn't live up to my hopes. The nature shots are undeniably stunning and delivered exactly what I had anticipated. However, the storyline was far too shallow to be engaging. On top of that, I found the main actress difficult to watch - she was just so hard to relate to.

All in all, I think I would have enjoyed the breathtaking landscapes more if they weren't tied to such a weak plot. A missed opportunity, in my opinion.

An amazing movie. It really shows the beauty of the surroundings and makes you want to go there as well. It's great how a movie with only approximately 5-10 real conversations can make you feel so much for the main character.

The fact that the main character actually hikes the full distance during the making of this film adds to the overall feel while watching the movie. The storyline seems simple enough: hiking from the North Cape to Finland. However, the personal story of the main character travels the same distance. This, combined with the stunning landscapes of Norway, the ever changing weather and the challenges along the way make this movie one of my personal favorites. The fact that I'm I hiker myself definitely adds to this.

Anyway, go watch this movie and see how each of us perceive reality differently, which may be even more apparent when walking in the wilderness.

Watching this movie is almost like being there and do the hike by myself. I love the surroundings! Such a beautiful nature and it is a great job the actrice did, because she is almost the only figure in the movie, but it is never bored. Watch this movie and you will be there! 👍
