I loved Captain Fantastic, a movie about a single father who is raising and home-schooling his 6 kids of various age outside of reach from modern way of living which he thinks only makes people stupid. Story is happening when his wife commits suicide after struggling with her mental illness. He is forced to return back to civilization to honor her last wishes.

I loved this movie because it’s funny and little awkward at times when seeing those kids react in situations they don’t know because they don’t live in “real world”. I love how the father is honest with his kids and doesn’t lie to them in order to protect them and keeping them from reality. As opposed to “real world” mom who wants their two kids to live in a bubble to a certain age. For example when their mother died the father goes straight away to kids after arriving home and tells them the truth. Or when he talks openly about causes for her suicide at the dinner with “real world” family.

I’ll finish this post with cover of Sweet Child o’ Mine that were in a movie. Scene in a video refers to mother’s last wish to be cremated and her remains flushed in a toilet at very crowded place. Her dead is then celebrated with music. Although this might seem as anti-Christian move, mother was a Buddhist.
