Humans are laughing at themselves

The fast-forward part is full of laughs. When the film depicts the life of primitive tribes, it looks serious, making me mistakenly think it is a BBC documentary, but the picture cuts to the crazy life of modern civilized people, and suddenly it is a joke. It looks like, haha, it turned out to be a comedy... In the eyes of primitive people, modern people are gods, but what are gods doing? Stressful work life, driving a car to put a letter at the door, smashing countless bananas in a fierce battle between the government and terrorists, no matter where there is always someone deserting, pushy playboy, doctor's funny confession... Modern people are more and more evolved The more bizarre, the primitive people have the simplest thinking. They are hungry to hunt, willing to share with others, always smiling and optimistic, easy to satisfy, but we modern people with rich species frown for more desires all day long... God is funny and crazy, maybe humans are laughing at themselves!
