● Who is the pig?
The title of the film is Pig.
If you want to understand the movie, you must find out, who is the pig?
European and American movies focus on creating characters, and the title of the film is often named after the character. For example, "Finding Nemo" is actually called "Nimo", and "Finding Robot" is called "Wall-E". The film is no exception, but Pig is by no means the real pig in just a few shots.
The same does not take a bath, eat the same food, look for truffles every day - the pig is actually a reflection of Cage's inner world. Cage just wants to be a carefree pig who only looks for black truffles, so that he doesn't have to remember sadness 's past. When his wife died, Cage hid in the forest to escape reality.
●One "I Love Her" has said everything
Leaning on the car from Amir's father's house, Amir asked, "What's the point of what we're doing?" Cage replied, "I love her." Double entendre. On the surface, "she" seems to refer to a pig, but in fact it refers to his deceased wife.
● Did he really let go?
At the end of the journey, near the end, Cage finally washed his face. Sitting on the bed next to the empty pig house, he looked up at the ceiling. In my wife's singing, I always had a bad feeling when I felt that Cage finally rushed to face the reality. Has he forgiven?
●The ending may be more tragic than it seems
After the ending song, there is a hidden voice: the pig is screaming, the shovel is digging the soil, it sounds like Cage was digging the black truffle with the pig before. But if you listen carefully, the pig's sound is different, and the shovel doesn't seem to be digging black truffles, but keeps digging. If you listen carefully, there is the sound of flies flying around.
Remember when Amir vowed to buy a new pig for Cage? Remember the ending when Cage looked at the ceiling? Remember when Cage and Amir said see you on Thursday?
After letting go, maybe you can really be relieved in some way.
