ideal and reality

Can people live out of social groups? This is what the male protagonist has been trying to do. The children have all kinds of necessary skills for survival in the wild, strong bodies and omniscient knowledge from Marxism to human biology. They know that gratitude is not bound by human morality and ethics. It seems that he has all the elements of being a person, and even far exceeds his peers in terms of knowledge reserve and gratitude. The male protagonist thinks that I give the children everything so that they can stay away from that filthy society. But all his persistence and belief collapsed when his daughter fell from the roof. The admission letter his wife left to his eldest son was the last straw that broke him. He began to feel that he was wrong, but what was wrong? Where, is it wrong to fight against the entire human society on your own? I didn't understand this, until it became obvious that the male protagonist compromised at the end of the film, and he finally entered the human society. The children gathered around him to do their homework, and he looked out the window. Maybe he was still thinking of his own utopia, but Nothing can go back. The two little sons are very cute. That star was deducted for the film's commentary on China.
