Warning to us mankind. Leave a reverence to nature

I saw this movie because of Zooey Deschanel.
When I saw the poster, I felt it was scary, so I didn't start watching it with great expectations.
However, the movie took me one step at a time, shocking me again and again.

At the beginning of the movie, the gangster wrote of:
ATTRIBUTED TO EINSTEIN:
"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left" Time to Survive)

The last TV of the movie said:
The Doctor said: This was a prelude, a warning like the first spot of a rash. We have become a threat to this planet!


The first movie said: This was an act of nature and we'll never fully understand it.

What we are best at is shouting slogans, it is indeed necessary to "know nature", but when we start shouting "transform nature", I think we start a long and The refusal to turn back is the wrong way. I don't know if it's the eyeball effect, but recently, I've seen a surge in environmental-themed films.

I think, we live too domineering, poor animals have no home to survive, just like this world can't be simplified to only need one chemical element, our once blue planet, it's impossible to rely only on humans and one animal can continue to reproduce.

Thousands of years ago, Lao Tzu said that people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows the nature.
I think it may be too late for us to make amends, but we can at least stop our ignorant obsession before we fall off the cliff.

Give birth to the nature that nourishes us, and awe.
