Outside the garden wall, all inside the wall

Briefly record my feelings:

Synopsis of the plot:

Those who enter the Lost Forest will be swallowed by those who were also lost before, because the forest itself is gathered from the experience of the lost, it is empirical, and everything experienced in it, such as theft and deception (2 cents), such as agreeing to others but failing to keep their promises (promising to take the girl away but not leaving), such as deceiving themselves, thinking that their ideas are correct, not facing the reality and thinking they are ghosts (both homeowners think they are talented It’s the homeowner), such as the aunt who imprisoned her niece in the name of love, such as the blue bird who turned into a blue bird because he threw a stone at the blue bird (unreasonable anger)...

These are the so-called "tests". When watching others, they are also challenging their own conscience and experiencing inner tests.

The interesting thing in it is the forest guardian, who seems to be trying to save another lost person. In fact, it is because he is unwilling to accept the fact that his daughter is dead, so he is so crazy to use those lost soul trees to keep his share in his heart. Hope, so, he actually became unknown's accomplice intentionally or unintentionally, so the talent in the play will call him a beast instead of thinking that he is a good person. So when he finally was no longer "lost", his daughter also returned to him, which was a symbolic ending.

In the end, only everyone takes their burden and shoulders the responsibility. The father has to face the fact that he has lost his daughter and cannot bring others to the funeral; the blue bird has to face his own mistakes and apologize to his family; the elder brother has to take the responsibility of taking care of the younger brother. He started his own burden, so he could save his brother.

[Big brother and younger brother] refers to all the lost into the unknown

[Pumpkin Town] The town of the living dead, people who do not belong to this area should participate in the local "rebirth" activities, get close contact with death, and receive training in "birth".

[Animal School] Discipline and alienation. Rules and power have turned fathers into regulations, animals have become funny, people wearing clothes; while people have been imprisoned in animal shells by money, have lost their humanity, and have to obtain material satisfaction (donations) and Only with the promotion of the external environment can there be self-reflection.

【Label Tavern】Identity and faith. What kind of person should be said and what kind of road should be taken are both vigilance and restraint.

[Tea Merchant Mansion] Lies and truth, self-deception and confrontation.

[Frog Ferry] The transition in the Styx will begin to face trials.

[Bell and Maid] The suffocating love, the madness of human nature (cannibalism without control), and people watching people with colored glasses (thinking that aunt is the cannibal).

[Greg's Dream World] The child's innocence.
