Ours is now a civet cat
Scotty 2022-04-23 07:03:43
Judging from the theme of the earliest discussion of this film, the so-called environmental protection theory, anti-human theory, and the theory of harmony between humans and animals are all untenable. Because with the process of urbanization, when we begin to experience the mood of civet cats, we can experience more content by looking back at this film. What has passed and what has been gained, persistence and confusion, living in peace and prosperity, in the context of the demolition, very few people can get peace of mind. The resistance of the civet cats is futile. We can say that this is the price of civilization and an indispensable process for development, but only the "civet cats" who bear the cost and process can feel the pain. And unfortunately, we are now civet cats.
