Captain Fantastic 2016 123movies

Watch: Captain Fantastic 2016 123movies, Full Movie Online – Ben and Leslie Cash live largely off the grid with their offspring — Bodevan, Kielyr, Vespyr, Rellian, Zaja and Nai — in a cabin in the mountains of Washington state. The parents have passed their socialist and survivalist ideals to their children. Ben considers most of Western society to be fascist, especially corporate America. He also believes that no one will or should be there for you, so you’d better learn how to take care of yourself. As such, the children have been subject to vigorous physical training; know how to deal with minor bumps, bruises, cuts, sprains, and even fractures; and know how to hunt, forage, and grow their own food. The children are also non-registered home schooled, meaning that they have no official academic records. Ben and Leslie have tried to make the children critical thinkers, however, within the context of their ideals. Beyond these issues, Ben and Leslie made the decision to live this lifestyle for Leslie’s health. Formerly an attorney, Leslie was diagnosed as bipolar. Ben believes that this disorder started with her postpartum depression with Bo. Yet Leslie’s condition has worsened. Despite not believing in Western medicine, Ben sends Leslie to a hospital close to Ben’s sister, Harper, so that there can be family close by. While hospitalized, Leslie commits suicide. Beyond the collective grief, Leslie’s act brings out a battle between Ben and Leslie’s father, Jack Bertrang, a Christian who not only blames Ben for Leslie’s death, but believes that what he is doing “to” the children can legally be considered abuse. Jack takes over the funeral arrangements as per his and his complacent wife Abby’s Christian morals, against what Ben knows was Leslie’s wishes, as she believed in Buddhist philosophies. Although Jack threatens to call the police if Ben shows up to the funeral, Ben and the children believe it is their mission to honor Leslie’s last wishes to be cremated as per Buddhist philosophy. This mission not only may bring the divide between Jack and Ben to a head, but may also bring out some long dormant issues between the Cash children as they are exposed to commercial America in all its good and bad, and as Bo grows into manhood, he may have his own ideas of what he should do with the next phase of his life..
Plot: A father living in the forests of the Pacific Northwest with his six young kids tries to assimilate back into society.

Reviews:

While Viggo’s character is most certainly the protagonist, he’s also not portrayed as being 100% in the right. Which really is the best way to tackle the subject matter at hand.

_Final rating:★★★½ – I strongly recommend you make the time._

**Surviving isn’t just a good education, but needs the physical training.**

This is from a supporting actor turned a director who is just one film old before this. So he wrote and directed this beautiful film. One of the best films of the years that should be in must see list. It was just like the film ‘Alabama Moon’, only the initial plot that extended for over the hundred minutes. The first thing is the cast, it was the best combination. Lots of future stars are here. It was more like a road movie, except in the opening few minutes.

I did not like the entire film, I found a couple of things uncomfortable. Like the killing a deer in the opening scene and the end part. The conclusion was good, I thought it was the best solution for such a story, not for the theme. But then the final shot gave me an impression that they had got compromised. After all these years hard work, I felt they had given up. That did not stop me from enjoying it and recommending it to the others. Still, it is a very unique film that tried its best to avoid the usual cliché.

This is the story of a father of six kids, raising them by his own outside the society in the wilderness. But the children are not left behind on the knowledge of the world, especially the philosophies theirs favourite topic. They are bright, as well as tough and can survive in any condition. One day when they get a message that their mother died, the journey begins to attend the funeral and during their way all the adventures are what we’re going to witness.

Due to the copyright issue the birthday song was altered. Surprisingly, the film was not based on any book. So my utmost appreciation goes to the creator of this wonderful product. Surely it will be a cult classic. It has lots of great dialogue, and bold revelations in a simple way about the facts of the world. Especially like related to the sex and other grown up stuffs clarifying the little kids’ doubts.

At some point I thought it was okay for the kids to watch with their parents, but it did not get better on that perspective. I mean having lots of main characters as children, the film is not good for their watch. Though the adults should not miss it, even though you are a religious person or any other kind. So highly recommended by me.

_8/10_

Captain fantasy
(major spoilers) To borrow a line from Roger Ebert, “I hated hated hated this movie.” The story is of a severe disciplinarian, Ben, who has retreated to the backwoods of Washington State to raise his six kids (who range in age from about six to eighteen). At the beginning Ben’s wife is in the hospital fighting serious depression; she eventually commits suicide.

The thing that bothered me most was Ben’s overbearing self-assurance. Everything was so damned harmonious in his little off-the-grid Eden. Did this man ever have doubts?

The first scene has the oldest boy, Bodevan, tackle a deer and slit its throat. The whole family is dressed up in a full-body mud crust for this escapade; the desire being to appear as Australian bushmen I guess. After the kill there is a solemn ceremony between Ben and Bodevan (all of the kids have screwed up names) where Ben tells him that he has now passed from boyhood to manhood, whereupon Bodevan eats an internal organ from the deer. I guess his act of killing marks the end of Bodevan’s walkabout. After a joyful bath in a local stream to get the mud off we are back at home and one of the daughters is wondering where the boning knife is–well, the youngest daughter has it up in her tree-house where she is cutting into a mountain beaver. When Ben sees that he gives a smile of satisfaction.

A typical day consists of: serious physical exercise in the morning, a meditation circle, a communal dinner (where Ben and Bodevan play guitars), ecstatic dancing, and settling in to reading by lantern. The reading matter consists of “The Brothers Karamazov,” “Middlemarch,” and “Guns, Germs, and Steel.” A middle daughter has been reading “The World on a String” and Ben grills her on her knowledge of quantum entanglement, Planck light vs. Planck time, and M-theory. Give me a break.

At random times the youngest son wears a WWI-style gas mask, for no reason that I could ever determine.

On a morning run up a steep hill Ben counsels his kids to run to the top. Since this appears to be a common activity I would think that the kids would know to run to the top or suffer humiliation. One exercise has the whole family climbing a sheer rock face. One of the boys has an accident where Ben offers no help: “No one to save you.” When the boy does recover he gets a “Good boy” from his dad. I wonder where they got all of that expensive climbing equipment?

They were wearing commercially produced clothing. I had expected to see them sitting around spinning wheels dressed in loincloths.

When Ben asks one of the daughters to pontificate on her reading of “Lolita” she starts out by saying that she finds it interesting, whereby the entire gang screams that “interesting” is a forbidden word, indicating a lack of any deep thought. Fortunately a deeper analysis of “Lolita” is given and Ben again gives off his approving smile.

After the death of Ben’s wife he takes his freak show on the road to New Mexico for the funeral, in a gas guzzling bus named “Steve.” You can imagine some of what transpires on that trip: amazement at so many fat people; inability to find any “real” food in a restaurant that has hamburgers, hot-dogs, and pancakes; mocking of shopping. In a grocery store Ben fakes a heart attack for distraction so that his kids can steal food. Is this his idea of being a good role model? There *are* good times like having a raucous celebration of Noam Chomsky’s birthday. Really. At an RV park Ben emerges into the daylight fully naked. It is *so* good to see that he is that comfortable with his body that he has no shame in doing this (even though he has a rather remarkably small penis). Ben relishes flouting what he perceives as small-minded social conventions.

We are treated with some pearls of wisdom: hospitals are good places to go if you are a healthy person and want to die, Americans are undereducated and over-medicated, the AMA are avaricious whores who too willingly spread their fat legs for big pharma, Marxists can be just as genocidal as capitalists, the Citizen’s United Supreme Court decision has resulted in corporate ownership of America.

Bodevan says some of his favorite pieces of music are the Bach Goldberg Variations and cello suites. I wonder were he listens to these, given that there is no electricity at home to support such an activity. When some relatives mention Nike shoes, Ben’s kids want to know if they are talking about the Greek goddess. It was mentioned that the family had lived in Boulder, Colorado at one time, so it is hard to believe that the kids had never heard of the Nike shoe brand.

The end of the movie has Bodevan ignoring all of a dozen offers to attend the most prestigious U.S. universities and heading off to Namibia, to help save the world I assume.

When parting with Bodevan Ben has these words: When you have sex with a woman, be gentle and listen to her; Always tell the truth; Always take the high road; live each day like it could be your last; be adventurous, be bold, but savor it, it goes fast. And he criticizes his kids for lack of depth?

I think a more common family dynamic than what we see here would be that as portrayed in “This Boy’s Life” where Leonard DiCaprio dukes it out with Robert De Niro to get free from De Niro’s repressive personality. What constitutes a big conflict here is Bodevan’s confronting Ben for his not understanding the difference between “Trotskyist” and “Trotskyite.”

The movie is accompanied by a sappy score.
