Live like a primitive

There is no doubt that the director of this work is a conservationist. Many conceptual techniques are used in the film to show how good life is close to nature, how ugly the city and the destruction of nature are. Although it seems a bit blunt to express a concept with a lot of photos and music rendering, the natural life of girls and boys in this film still attracts me.

It was the beginning of love, the shyness of the girl and the agility of the boy, and the attractiveness between each other was fresh and healthy. They swim naked in the water, they hunt for food, wash clothes, and their lives are like primitive people. The trust and friendship between people are also natural in the wilderness. Even if the races are different, there does not seem to be much obstacle.

The director is very strange. He will suddenly insert some unrelated clips at present, and will spare no effort to repeatedly point out what he wants to show, for fear that others will not understand it. However, it is also necessary to admit that his performance techniques are super-normal and very creative. I feel that the director is also quite young.

I like the last shot of the film that points to the center. The girl’s new boyfriend excitedly said that she was going camping. She felt it was dull, because she had lived in the wild like a primitive for a long time, and the camera flashed back to that unforgettable experience. And how does her boyfriend understand her one-thousandth feeling? He is just a pale civilized man.

Yes, how can the strong feelings in the heart and the deep human nature of returning to nature be clear in a few words?
