About domestication

There are so two different opinions on domestication.

In "The Little Prince", the fox said to the little prince, tame me, so that I have the only relationship with you and me.

You pay for a rose, she is unique to you, and has a different meaning from many roses.

You have domesticated a fox, and even if it is difficult to cry when you are separated, the feeling of love and being loved in your heart after being tamed is something you never had when you were not tamed.


In this film, 90% of the episodes are all about the little girl, starting from the first sight and falling in love with this fox, little by little she exhausted her mind to be friends with the fox she likes.

Slowly, the distance between the fox and the child was shortening. When they can explore the mountains together, when the fox falls into the water and gets ridiculed by the girl and walks away, when the girl helps the fox escape the threat of life, I think we will all feel that this is a movie full of sunshine.

And at the end of the movie, all of a sudden, the girl starts to treat the fox as her doll a little bit, and ropes her up so that she can visit her home.

However, for a fox belonging to the mountain forest, such a small room filled her with fear, she began to feel uneasy, and she began to break free.

Finally, she smashed through the glass on the second floor and fell to the ground covered in blood.

In that instant, my tears welled up.

I am so sad.

But foxes are smart animals after all, she just pretended to be dead to let the girl let her go.

She can finally run around with her child in the mountains and forests again, and the girl gradually understands that no matter how good a relationship is, distance is required.

There is a kind of love that needs to be far away.

She has learned to look away from the fox and walk away from each other.


Sometimes, to love in the heart is to possess. There is no need for so-called form.

Possessing each other's hearts is the best possession.

Hearts belong to each other, that's enough. If you have to occupy him to the point where there is no breathing space, and only fear is left, it is not far from losing.
