I don't know what the director wants to say, let me tell you what I think.

Human survival in this world needs a meaning that cannot be disputed and cannot be destroyed. To live is not a meaning, but to protect the body that carries meaning. The higher purpose is not a meaning either. An over-the-top sense of mission has no focus, and it is not easy to get rid of it. This film is about a process of awakening, and the result of awakening is a fusion answer. Regardless of the hypothetical apocalyptic setting or the reality metaphor, people always have to go through these stages, to survive, to find themselves, the superego god spirit, awakening means to deny these religious worship, and deny the cruelty of pure realism. That crystal ball represents the meaning of the smallest starting point, which is relationship, blood and love. The magical and distorted world setting is just a tool for you to poke up your ears and open your eyes, looking forward to understanding what the director is pretending to be. It does not matter. The vision and information of the movie do not solve the rationality, but what kind of words are left in your mind after 2 hours. This is the meaning of the movie. Sometimes there is nothing left, a waste of life. Sometimes you are shocked and deaf, and you are just emphasized what you already know. But, I love movies, and I need someone to constantly reinforce some meanings that I care about in my mind. To find someone, care for someone, you can only live for yourself, and for the second person, it makes sense.

    In the desert wasteland, a little cruelty, a little sympathy.

    The structure of the road movie... It turns out that most people are abandoned, and they are all leftovers...
