Guessed that "Crazy Primitives 2" would look good, but I didn't expect it to be so good. Although the theme of the first part is to get out of "Plato's cave", it is still a little jerky to handle, and it is easy to slip back into the routine of vulgar family fun. But the second part changed, and the theme of the story became the wild wildness of romanticism vs the atomic rationality of liberalism when entering the "modernity" called "Eden". "Civilized man" or "better man", Phil (wisdom) and Hope (hope), the sacrificial banana, the metaphor of the beast and its nesting dolls, are all good metaphors. The most important thing is to have a kind of support-based ridicule to the contemporary feminist movement. This attitude has not been found in other new movies, and it is quite the legacy of Mark Twain. Other films either offer the most vulgar support for the feminist movement in one-sided fashion, or offer the most inept and furious rebuttal. If you only pursue pleasure, put aside these thoughts, it is also a popcorn movie worth watching. Looking forward to the sequel.
Continued: It is found that many people who analyze the factor of "wall" have not thought deeply enough. "Wall" plays no role in the "entry" of "barbarians" and the "escape" of "civilized people". As long as the subject wants to enter and exit, the wall will be disintegrated immediately; Nothing can stop any danger. What stops the danger is the compromise in exchange for sacrificing bananas. When the compromise is over, danger will come.
So the meaning of the wall is to make the actors who don't want to do something even more want to do something, or maintain the status quo. This is a very interesting point. It’s similar to Buddhism’s breaking of attachments. It’s the same thing, just like all the high walls in our era.
