When I met that shepherd, a master of philosophy, said that the result of pursuing freedom is ultimate destruction, so he chose a state of semi-freedom. In the end, Mona said in acrimonious words: "Go to your mother’s philosophy. In fact, you are as depraved as I am. It's not much better." I feel that the Master of Philosophy is just a vulgar thing, saying some self-righteous words, thinking that words such as loneliness, freedom, and destruction have solved Mona's problem.
Mona loves music, and she tries her best to find opportunities to listen to music wherever she goes. She has sex with the men she meets along the way, trying to make herself happy. Although her clothes are ragged and her hair is greasy, I am also moved by her casual and comfortable attitude, which may be a return to the vagrant life.
Mona is a person who doesn't care about anything. When she meets the person who takes her in, from the poor to the rich, she has a real conversation, and will not please anyone for a certain purpose. When the maid said that she was willing to take in Mona, and said that as long as Mona be her company, the house of the maid is warm, the film gave many shots, such as soft bed, hot milk, etc. But Mona When she saw the picture of the handsome guy, she said she was going to look for him. When the maid's reprimanded him, Mona treated her with silence and did not please her. It can be seen that the warmth of the material does not enter Mona's eyes at all. Regard worldly comfort as dung.
Mona seems to be living only in the present, not planning to worry about the future. In winter, she sleeps in a tent like a lonely person. People around her fight and are indifferent. The house is on fire, and she woke up for a long time and found her escape. This characteristic seems to be a bit Buddha-like. Nowadays, some Indian Zen sects talk a lot about "live in the present". If you want to make these four words thoroughly, you should be like Mona.
There is something anti-human in Mona. The physical pain is hard to resist unless she is uplifting in spirit, and she actually bears the pain, and she is unwilling to be a secretary and work for others. Mona was not willing to wrong herself at all, and could not stand any humiliation from human society.
At the end of the movie, Mona said that she was tired of wandering, and the wandering did not save her, but she did not have a better choice, so she wanted to taste the taste of death.
Mona rejects the life of ordinary people and tries to wander, but the final choice is death.
