beyond ethical standards

The young French director François Orzo once said when he commented on his own works that "there are no moral and immoral standards, everything is outside the standards."
Such a comment is more suitable for Herzog's work. on the works. Herzog has almost never made a film in compliance with the moral standards within reason, but is creating a panic of the gradual alienation of human civilization. He always chooses unimaginable subjects to express his reflection on human nature.
Watching his films, we will find that we unconsciously re-evaluate this seemingly familiar world with a pair of magical eyes. He said: "I represent in the film what I see, and other people have never seen it, and never know it.
" A legendary story of pure natural organisms who have been exposed to words such as thought, morality, civilization, rationality, etc., suddenly broke into the civilized world, and constantly challenged this sanctimonious world.
It is somewhat similar to Truffaut's "Wild Child", both expressing the confrontation between rational civilized people and barbarians or outcasts, the confrontation between social rules and the consciousness of freedom, the so-called confrontation between truth and nature, the difference is that " Wild Child sings praises of the powerful power of civilization to tame the wild, while in The Mystery of Gas & Hobb, the human consciousness of freedom and rational civilization collide violently.
From a tactful refusal of God to a poignant satire of church carols, Garth Hopper takes a stab at a religion of nothingness.
Using the wonderful question of "tree frog" to distinguish "truth village" and "liar village", it is very nonsensical to overthrow the seemingly rational but rigid logical thinking, and at the same time ruthlessly mocks a group of noble people who advertise civilization and progress.
And the theories of "living apples" and "disappearing towers" shone with wisdom, from which we can also see the obliteration of creativity by a well-behaved social order.
Obviously, such an anomaly must be resisted by the orthodox world. Gashobo's death is also a barbaric act in the process of human civilization. We can only pretend to turn a blind eye to such an ending in reality.
