A compromise between utopia and reality

This is an attempt by the author of an ideal society, where people's bodies are stronger, their way of thinking and cognition of the world are more advanced, but they are out of touch with the current society and have nowhere to play. In the end, utopia and reality are compromised, which is similar to Confucius's moderation.

Let us wonder if we are assimilated by society, is there a more ideal set of operating laws?

This movie makes me feel that watching the movie itself is a way of knowing the world.

The two middle fingers give a feeling that the movie is very free and easy.

We define ourselves by our actions, not our words.

If you assume that there is no hope in the world, you wipe out hope. If you assume that people yearn for freedom, and assume that change is still expected, you will save the spark for creating an ideal society.

Never bully the dark room, be open and aboveboard. Cherish every day as the end, and sing to wine. Go on adventures, be fearless, and enjoy things because time doesn't look back. alive.

notes:

The inherent defect of all utopias in the world is its closedness and intransmission. The children seem to have the reflection of social philosophy, but because they have never been in it, all criticism is rootless water. Criticism has precious meaning only when it is born solidly from mistakes and painfully drills out from failures. The father-to-child model construction in the film makes children a direct and correct product for the sake of criticism. Although fresh, thoughtful and absurd.

Talk about the different flaws of the two worlds. The completeness and depth of the jungle world shows the rootless weakness of utopia in human society, while the modern society reveals the greasy, over-integrated, barren reality in the eyes of children.

A wise director, he uses one world to teach another, laughs at the other, and does not simply support any one. In his view, both kinds of survival need adjustment, more advanced top-level design, or a more profound return to the basics.

The plot also depicts the family's savage living environment from a curious perspective, and then the conflicts and jokes caused by entering the civilized world, the turning point is family and family affection, and finally a compromise is reached to find the perfect ending.
