The film uses anti-ethics, morality, and common sense to guide us to think about how to face the top-down living norms formed by education, publicity, and influence, as well as those "unreasonable" traditions and concepts.

It may not be so absurd to replace the words of the parents in the film with words we know well, but does the impact make a difference?

If Confucius had not been chosen as the moral foundation of the nation for thousands of years, if the outcome of the civil war hadn't been what it is today, if there was no Cultural Revolution, reform and opening up, what would our life line be today? But at least you will know that the words you hear from ideological and moral textbooks, news broadcasts, and parental teachings are definitely different.

Dogtooth quotes

  • Son: Mom! I've found two little zombies.

  • Father: The animal that threatens us is a "cat". The most dangerous animal there is. It eats meat, children's flesh in particular. After lacerating its victim with its claws, it devours them with sharp teeth. The face and whole body of the victim.
