There is joy in watching others suffer

After watching the film, I came back to see Dobaan playing with a dying Xiaoqiang. Before its life disappeared, I suddenly recalled our childhood when a group of children changed tricks to kill ants, grasshoppers, lizards, toads and other small creatures.

If the roles were changed or like Gulliver's Kingdom of Giants or Attack on Titan...

Creatures always seem to have a kind of happiness based on the pain of other creatures.

Thinking of Bergson's philosophy of life, life is the constant realization of the inner impulse. Inner impulses and desires are the driving force of evolution. And how much will this desire affect other things?

Life is the opposite of inertia and chance. It conquers death by reproduction. In the film, Del and his people resisted and won their freedom. Under the shell of surrealism, the light of human history is revealed.

Our ancestors were not easy. At that time they were preoccupied with survival and reproduction. Will we do the opposite in the future? Then history repeats itself, eternal reincarnation.
