Captain fantastic was fantastic, was not expecting it to be so good. I loved the whole idea of the film, to live free without laws or interference is completely idyllic which is mad because you would never think that you could do something like that in today's world.

However, it did show the problems of living that way, in some ways many of the characters ended up being very socially removed as they hadn't had any interaction with the outside world or modern technology. So in a way, it was sad to see the innocence taken away from just being around normal people, technology, and modern influences.

Overall this film was fantastic and just goes to show that any way of living is possible, shows that you don't have to go to school to be smart or go through a special course to become an expert at something, I highly recommend this film to everyone.
