The Liberty Generation-Comment on the Tongue of Butterflies

This is a Spanish film about the relationship between butterflies, an old man who loves nature, and a child who is new to the world. In the countryside of the Spanish Republic in the 1930s, in the short free air, a little boy Wang Zu stepped into the elementary school class. Teacher Gao, who was about to retire, waited for him there and taught him how to recognize the slender and curly tongue of a butterfly. As a loyal supporter of the Republican Party, Mr. Gao believes that after the children of Wangzu’s generation grow up in an atmosphere of freedom, Spain will truly get rid of the shadow of authoritarianism.
To a certain extent, this film is similar to the French film "Butterfly", and the little details give the film a warm and human touch.
But this film is not written for favors, but for choked favors. Under the fascist rule, Teacher Gao was taken to a prison wagon. His parents were afraid of the threat of evil forces to openly rebel against the Republic, and hoped that his grandparents would insult Teacher Gao with his parents. Strangulation was born in silence, unreasonable, extraordinarily abrupt, and never forgotten. Maybe this ending is reasonable, but Wangzu can't understand the reasoning.
Like Wang Zu, we are a generation that doesn't understand the taste of freedom. If we do something that we cannot face, it is probably inevitable rather than abrupt.
