It was shocking and I liked it a lot. After digesting it for a long time, I finally selected 3 of my favorite pictures from the movie to analyze. My point of view seems to be different from what most people see. Absorb and learn from, while retaining your own views to communicate with everyone. Thanks!

Agou accidentally killed Shakira, Alang was afraid of being punished and thought of suicide. The eight "monkeys" who were united and harmonious also began to have a disagreement. The captured female doctor who seemed to be "docile" was in her cellar, shouting silently at the broken mirror. Before this picture, the film has always been developing harmoniously. The partners played and played together, and obeyed all the officers who came to train and the orders they gave. The female doctor also mingle with the children. It is the kind of passion and beauty that youth should have. Especially in the natural beauty of the mountains of South America, it makes me feel. This is the most natural look of youth. But from the incident of "killing cows to death", a turning point has taken place. And I think this picture is the most important turning point in the entire movie. The broken mirror imaged the broken team relationship, and also represented the female doctor's heart still resisting. This silent cry brings a deep sense of powerlessness. For the female doctor, she wanted to escape the days of being captured, but she had no choice, this kind of despair that could not see the light. For those children, this sense of powerlessness comes from the fact that they are gradually discovering that they are not living for themselves, they do not want to be controlled, they want to make a sound, but they are choked by their throats. For all teenagers, this silent cry is like a desire for independence and true freedom in their hearts, but they are bound by everything outside. The footsteps restricted by the family, the innovations and ideas restricted by the school textbooks, the nature restricted by all the rules and regulations that exist invisible in the entire society. This silent cry comes from the hearts of all those who are growing up.

"These gummy bears must be hard enough to maintain their shape, but they must also be soft enough to be eaten." I think these kids are like gummy bears. They are only teenagers, but very strong, guerrillas, warfare, and physical fitness. For training and survival in the wild, you can raise your gun to the sky for a few shots, hard enough and wild enough. But they also have to obey orders, be afraid of their "messengers," and be obedient. Only in this way can they be valuable. For their corps, this group of children is such "gummy bears. But I think one of the main themes reflected in this movie is actually about the growth of all children. It is not only for this group of guerrillas in the Columbia Mountains. Juveniles, this special group, actually tells about the bloody growth of all children. The age of teenagers can't be described appropriately by gummy bears. It seems to have become stylish and tough, but in fact it is essentially It's still sweet candy. "It's the job of these young people to pick out the unqualified gummies. "Not all "Gummy Bears" are qualified, too hard or too soft. I think this is the cruelest place. All children have the same requirements and must meet a unified standard, otherwise they will be removed from the assembly line. . In the movie, this group of guerrilla teenagers are not allowed to have their own ideas and must not violate the orders of their superiors. In reality, the teenagers are kept in a hood and used a unified book. , Let them learn to make standard answers. And what this film wants to convey is to bravely break through these standards and these constraints. Find your own way of living, live for yourself. Every sugar has its own sweetness. Law, as it gradually appeared from the second half of the movie, different children have different personalities and different pursuits. Not all children have to make a standard gummy bear.

When I watched this movie, I was always in a daze about the background of the story. The way children live in the mountains is too primitive. Eat barbecues around the campfire and take a bath in the creek. Without any electronic equipment, fun is only the most primitive squabbling, and communication with the outside world needs to rely on telegraph. It's very primitive. But in the end, Rambo was rescued by a helicopter and saw the landscape of the city and realized that it was actually not far from us. As a person living in an extremely civilized city, I can hardly imagine their kind of life in the mountains. The kind of growth that is close to barbarism is natural and romantic. So the title is called "Monkey". They are wild. Being domesticated, and not being domesticated. This picture is the last picture in the movie. It is particularly impactful. The person on the helicopter repeatedly said, "There is an unidentified member on board, ask for instructions on how to deal with him." Repeated several times, but still no reply. Rambo's eyes were full of tears. This is the end of the movie. It's a semi-open ending. It also leaves room for all viewers to make different guesses about this final result.
