The final installment of the "Modern Jungle Trilogy" is the story of a young boy and a stubborn old man fleeing together in New Zealand. Many have compared the film to the New Zealand version of Moonrise Kingdom. The characters and plots, which are also full of whimsy, are also faced with the encounter of being excluded by the group and fleeing. In them, there is a spirit of naturalism and adventure outside the system. One is the mischievous bear child who has changed from one family to another in the orphanage, and the other is a lonely old man who has killed people and cannot adapt to the society and hides in the mountains. Their sense of alienation from the society is the rational explanation for the story. It represents the voice of a type of minority group, which belongs to the minority, and belongs to the voice of the marginalized. Through the film, the administrators of the child welfare home and the police are the symbols of the social system. They follow various established conventions to restrict and manage the disharmony in the society. Order remains. On the other side is the yearning for freedom and pure naturalism. The old man and woman live in the deep mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of society, and live an almost primitive life. The bear child's orphan status is connected with the old couple of the same life experience. The woman who knows the inner pain caused by the lack of parents resolutely accepts the bear child and gives him parental care. This kind of humanistic feeling gradually revealed in the old man, but the difference is that the old man and the bear child are more of an inner touch of empathy and empathy in the face of difficulties together. The wildness of the jungle represented by the old man and the urban hippie radiated by the bear children—the collision of the two styles, constantly running in the jungle escape staged by the two desperadoes, and deepening the feelings in the details and actions, this kind of A modern allegorical story takes place.
