Heterogeneous? Humanity? The vague ethnic boundary between the two is the growth of Tina's self-identity!

The core of the movie is actually the humanoid and biological instincts of mountain monsters. The creation on this basis will bring humans (complex of a group of people) and mountain monsters (protagonists of the movie) who grew up in the human world to the mountain of revenge in the human world. Strange, the possibilities between the three are spreading out. The "mountain monster" human beings have grown up as aliens among humans: exclusion, loneliness, lack of love, and the mountain monsters who avenge their parents, but they are aliens from each other in the same category. The mountain monster human Tina is human and awakened by the same kind of guidance. Mountain monsters have instincts, and Vengeful Mountain monsters have only mountain monsters instincts and inhumanity. The emotions between two identical races are more driven by instinct than love. The emotion between humans and Tina is more of a human nature's bullying and exclusion of the same race. The kind-hearted Tina had a slight struggle between human nature and the nature of the mountain monster. It was just a brief contest for self-existence, but human nature always suppressed the nature. Therefore, she became an alien in the human world and an alien in the eyes of her kind. At the end of the movie, she apparently reconciled with the lack of identity in her heart under the double lack of human emotion and heterogeneous love, becoming a lonely but kind heterogeneous human! A very special work, the production level is still somewhat weak, but art and innovative exploration make up for its shortcomings!

    It is indeed a kind of attention-style European genre film. The emotions created in the grotesque are really good, and it is far-fetched to connect the two story lines in the third act.

    3.5. I hate as much as I like, political fantasy, so I have no ideas. The postcard from Finland at the end is silly.

Border quotes

  • Vore: Humans are parasites that use everything on earth for their own amusement.Even their own offspring. The entire human race is a disease, I'm telling you.

  • [last lines]

    Tina: I don't see the point of evil.

    Vore: So you want to be human?

    Tina: I don't want to hurt anyone. Is it human to think that way?
