The beginning of chaos, the life experience of the princess in the film directly evolved from the primitive era to the colonial era. Invasion of colonists, the indigenous people went from a fierce struggle to being forced to undergo transformation. The core of all these thoughts is reflected in the princess. She has a primitive instinctive love for Smith. After losing Smith, she rekindled new hope in despair, and learned Western words, etiquette, beliefs, and systems... to get to know her husband, This behavior itself is also an artistic expression of indigenous groups as vulnerable groups attached to Western colonists. When the princess lost Smith, it was also the girl who lost her romantic fantasy about the Western world. She became rational and political, and also acted as a defender of the rights of indigenous people.
Her belief is mother, sun, water, tree, air. In the film, she called her mother countless times. Her inner conflicts and confusion are also the aspirations of the indigenous people facing the foreign colonists. At the end of the film, when the princess and her son were hide-and-seek in the park, she had an epiphany and was no longer confused. She accepted the reality, not with Smith, and at the same time accepted the baptism of this civilized world to her or her people.
