A great film about change, love, psychology!

Although it criticizes the conservativeness of Catholicism, it does not deny it. It just tells people not to always see the divinity of Christ, but also to see his humanity, so that they can fully understand religion. This is a high level of thought, and the sermons of the young pastor at the end show it.

In addition, there is a lot of psychological knowledge involved.

I think that Panduofu, probably a character similar to Lamb in Silence of the Lamb, is something in the subconscious, representing the little girl's unwillingness to wander around. Since she didn't want to wander around, she imagined the kangaroo as a lame, so she didn't have to walk. But in the end, they really don't have to stray, and the kangaroo is naturally whole, no longer lame, and disappeared from the little girl's subconscious.

Lamb is the same way. The reason why the English name is used to indicate "Silence of the Lambs" is because this popular translation is wrong, but it is actually "Silence of the Lambs". The lamb finally fell silent, no longer shouting in the heroine's consciousness, because the heroine completed the arrest of the criminal. The lamb may represent the father in her memory. The father is equivalent to the victim of the criminal she wants to catch in reality. Now that she has caught the criminal in reality, it is equivalent to avenging her father. Therefore, the lamb, no longer tweets.

Therefore, Panduofu and the Lamb are the same image.
