The inner rhythm of everything

This is a very surprising and throbbing movie after watching it. Here I might as well give some clues after watching the movie for everyone to discuss and interpret.

At the beginning, what attracted me was the concept of the film that I thought was in line with my original values-and it was also the key to my understanding of the film: from man to nature, the inner rhythm of everything.
This is a movie about the stream of consciousness. People and people, people and animals, people and nature, have a common consciousness. Here are some concepts, not to over-interpret, but give some words and short sentences: The

pig
man’s metaphor, eating, drinking, Lazard, sleeping, living state,

worm
is just a bridge between consciousness and consciousness, the invisible thread

circle
, the cycle of life is self-enclosed status

voice
link between the most straightforward of all things natural

flow
of all life running sound rhythm the whole movie

abortion
fragile toughness life of

love
love is to attract each other's inherent sense of rhythm is similar, and tune in small friction in


the entire film photography is broken Continued, the rhythm is a bit trivial, and the lens is deliberately slowed down, creating a strong sense of psychedelic and alienation, an illusion from time to time in modern life.
The best thing is a few montages: 1. The montage of uncle recording various sound effects in the wild; 2. The montage of touching the soul of all things through flowers underwater; 3. The montage of similar actions between men and women.

The uncle feels like a martyr, and even his final death is non-rebellious, using death to implement Thoreau's concept, allowing the victims to move from the city to the wilderness.
Regarding the counter-current, on the one hand, this kind of event brings the spirit back to its origin, and makes men and women attracted to each other in this lonely world to rely on each other; on the other hand, it is the entire second half of the exploration, like using the clues of consciousness to constantly break through real life in a vague manner—— The world has created a heavy encirclement for today's people.

Regarding why the magic bug maker did not appear, he is the fuse of everything, God, because he said: My head is made of material similar to the sun, you can't look directly at it. There is indeed a hypnotic nature here, but he is the truth.

In the end, although the flowers changed from the deformed blue back to the pure white at the beginning, the director did not give a clear answer. Maybe he was confused, but the whole movie is still an unknown tragedy.
