Movies are very curious and heavy in taste, and the strong sensory impact may also cause discomfort to some people. However, the collective emotional value orientation expressed by this film is still acceptable to most audiences, and it can also be said that the three views are very positive and the overall positive energy. It is recommended to abandon traditional moral concepts as much as possible when watching the movie. Many plots should be understood from a natural perspective rather than a social perspective. If too many traditional moral concepts of honor and disgrace are substituted, it will cause a lot of discomfort and fail to understand the true intention of the director. This kind of film will definitely be banned in India, and as an Iranian-Swedish director, I feel that there is no influence of Islam at all, I am also very surprised.

This film explores two major themes, one is the discussion of the good and evil of human nature. Although the whole society is ostracizing them, it is up to them to decide what kind of person they become. The director of the film respects this independent judgment. Another theme is whether to choose to integrate into the society or stick to oneself when one's own nature is inconsistent with the mainstream society. The director did not give a tendency to stay in thinking on this issue, because although the two are contradictory, optimistically they are compatible. Possibility, this should also reflect the struggle and thinking of the protagonist's family during the immigration process.

In addition, the script of this film is very curious, with a huge amount of information. This part is first-class. The ups and downs of the plot can also be regarded as an excellent work. The acting skills of the male and female protagonists in this film are very good. Because this film contains some fantastic elements, I have to admire the imagination of the heroine. You can read multiple complex emotions from the performance expressions. She is definitely a powerful actor among the actors, so that I can't stand makeup.

The biggest plus point and minus point of this film is its scale. Its scale is not like the release of desire in Japanese films that you know, but you can hardly read any desire. The accurate description should be "wild" and "natural", showing a lot of pure emotion, unadorned and clear like spring water. For those who have been wrapped in mundane emotional life all their lives, this film may be directly defined as pornographic and obscene. But if you can temporarily abandon these secular social concepts, this film has nothing to do with scale, only about nature and purity.

The overall evaluation of this film is excellent. I think in China, an open and inclusive country, it deserves a better score, maybe it's just not in that era.

(High-energy warning: this film contains forest streaking)

    3.5. Allusions to the experiences of ethnic minorities. When I saw it, I thought that the minority Sami people who had been "isolated" and "studied" by Sweden (17 film "Sami's Mark") should also broadly include later immigrants. unfolded as a fantasy story. And it's a wonderful brain hole (!?) The protagonist's wild explosion during the happy hour reminds me of the Klingons for some reason... And then, I really care about the neighbor's children in the end. ...

    3.5; The first half is quite suspenseful in the gloomy and slow shot scheduling, and the second half goes straight to the theme of marginalized people/minority groups/gender/cultural identity. Although the visual effects of fantasy/spectacle are eye-popping, it is still relatively It is good to retain the appeal for a larger pattern. The heroine's departure from the external environment and psychological changes has gone from deviating to accepting, from unbelievable and involuntary to truly growing into an independent individual that transcends the definition of any biological species, and controls it just right. .
