Nature Calls

Johnny Knoxville is definitely not a guarantee of intelligent entertainment, but I thought it wouldn't be bad to see two movies set in a scouting environment in one week. "Nature Calls" is supposedly a comedy, although it must be said that I didn't find it that funny. The characters either act stupid or are stupid, and that's why the individual scenes should be funny. If the movie "Moonrise Kingdom" dealt with a romantic story between a young scout and his sweetheart, "Nature Calls" is a film that tries to show two things. The first is the fact that scouting is declining a lot and children are not interested in it, and the second is the fact that it's a pity because being in nature is absolutely amazing! Not only does an old man die during it and your dad, who dropped out of a bad Texan recruitment video to join the National Guard, melts a hands-free headset in his ear while on the phone, but you also convince an African boy, whom your father adopted, to choose his future occupation. This film tries so hard to be moral that it ultimately becomes the exact opposite of what the film was trying to do. The banal plot about parents wanting their children to be addicted to television and not try to live in nature is truly meaningful, on the other hand, it at least points to something we can call the essence of today's society. The disconnect from nature is very apparent, but in this performance, I don't think many young boys and girls will decide that it's great to go back to the roots and understand why nature is so important to us.
