Conflict between modernity and nature

What this film presents is the strong conflict between modern society and anti-capitalist society, which makes people reflect. Many of us hate this society of unlimited consumption, overwork, and all kinds of diseases, but we often say we can't change it. But in fact, this society is built by each of us, and our every move has made this society what it is now. The father's behavior may be extreme, but through the film, only this extreme approach can cause us to reflect.

There are many details in it until we reflect, including the father's reflectiveness, the children's robustness, the courage to express and the innocence are all worth learning from. On the other hand, people who live in modern times are obese and cover up the mother's illness in the film in front of the children. The children only play games on the computer instead of getting along with nature.

Too much to record.
