After reading it, I am not lingering in my mind about the conflicts between backward regions and advanced civilizations, racial and class differences, or even the colonial thinking of the disparity between the rich and the poor, which can be analyzed and interpreted, although these are in the eyes of film critics. All are favored gems.
What I saw was a dream-like country. Through a peculiar form of photographic lens and technology, all kinds of pet poultry, wild animals, towering trees, mountains, surging waves, and lightning The sky, the torrential rain that fell at the right time, etc., unfolded in front of my eyes like beautiful pictures. I have to mention that the demon shown in the animation seems to seamlessly integrate myth with reality.
But I also deeply agree: this is far from the director's best work, the narrative with lack of logic and ambiguous motives, and the ambiguous symbolism create a helpless and terrible obstacle to further understanding the deep meaning of the work. This may be a gesture by Regadas, and I believe it is also a gesture of upholding a true cinematic aesthetic.
