It's hard for me to finish watching this movie completely calmly.
It slowly caused deep anxiety, not the incomprehension of the story and the discomfort of the plot, but the anxiety caused by the "boundary" itself. On the surface, "Border" seems to give the boundaries of people from the perspective of biology and genes, and directly presented to the audience with pictures (best makeup) in an extremely straightforward and suitable way for images. Under the beauty of human beings, what is buried first is the utilitarian nature of intercourse and reproductive isolation; but the film is not that simple, because when the protagonist says that humans are diseases of the earth, the heroine says that some people are good. At this time they are already in good agreement. At this time, the "boundary" is in conflict with the "boundary". We have to see what happens to a "person" who does not belong to humans in terms of physique but who is not external to people in terms of culture. choose.
I want to say that the idea of this story is still anthropocentric, at least the self-improvement and chauvinism of human culture. How can the heroine not be awakened as a alien species that completely rejects humans? No, because human culture has a compensation mechanism, that is, on the one hand, it is particularly good at diverging the same party, establishing separation and alienating the same kind, but at the same time, it is particularly eager for acceptance, integration and fraternity. Human nature is like this. To accept human nature is to accept contradictory temperaments. Just like the heroine, she was only suffering for so many years, but then she began to become contradictory. In this natural world, whether it contradicts self-experience at all levels, I think it is the boundary of human beings.
As a result, human beings have created the most diverse life, music, language, and religion without reproductive isolation, but they have also created the most appalling persecution, and underneath these things is the basic level of human nature. The divisions and contradictions that follow language and concepts. We pretend to be human, but we may not understand the choice of a Zulu warrior, or understand the ideals of the sword swallowers, and even we cannot imagine the catastrophe suffered by the previous generation on the land of Shenzhou... But even so , We still feel that the "human beings" we see from ourselves are all ok, thriving, and full of hope.
But in fact, everyone has the potential to become a different kind. On the one hand, we are alert to this kind of mutation, and at the same time, we are quietly developing this kind of mutation in the name of personality and self. Who said you don’t have a tail? Inexplicably troubles hit the living people. When taking a bath, I carefully touched my tailbone, and found that apart from the protrusion of the lumbar intervertebral disc, the abnormal heart had long been highlighted in the back (behind) that we could not see. Forbes rankings, the essence of all rankings, are actually rankings that are better than those whose tails are accepted by humans. To describe humans, you can only enumerate.
Sadly, we can only talk about and understand everything from a human perspective. This is the boundary of "Frontier" and of course the boundary of this commentary.
