modern man's disease

For the male protagonist, the sweetness of life comes in the moments of attempted suicide, squatting on a desert island to poop, and sucking the nectar in front of him.

The close-up stops on the hero's face, from surprise to joy to crying.

At this embarrassing moment, the pressure of life seemed to be relieved from this unfortunate man, as if I had also tasted the sweetness of nectar.

I think this scene is the most beautiful moment in the whole film.

The movie does not use a didactic tone to make you gain truth, but instead uses some laughing and tearful ways to make you think.

For example, when the male protagonist takes out his credit card from his wallet and scratches bird droppings, he says, "It finally came in handy."

The description of the otaku also depicts the diseases of modern people in an exaggerated way, just like the relationship between the island and the city.

Although it is close at hand, there is no communication and indifference between them.

Two modern patients, by chance, met in time and space. Communicate in the most primitive way, bringing two lonely hearts closer.

"Kim's Crusoe" talks about the disease of modern people. In the modern society where everyone is investing, swiping credit cards, and living on the Internet, they dream of returning to the simple world of slash and burn. Not really asking you to go back in time, but a reminder that you have forgotten the sweetness of life or that it is just around the corner.

    If the Japanese filmed this...

    It’s really healing to watch it before going to bed, and urban fairy tales should be shot like this, making people rest their eyes beautifully. The setting of the deserted island in the center of the city is also like a metaphor for the situation of every urbanite. But it doesn't matter, if there is fried noodles, there is hope.
