When the sound of "Yuzi" echoing among the green plants in the empty mountains confuses me, I know that I have really become an adult. I used to think that age is not important, experience is not important, and mentality is the most important, but no matter how adults wear school uniforms or comb Chunli's hair, they can't hide the sophistication and maturity in their eyes.
If you just watch this film formally, don't think deeply, then this is a simple story of dialectical emotion and reason. Emotionally, Yuzi, who grew up with Miko, is just a bargaining chip for people to gain money, but for Miko, it has become her own family, and more people see it as coveted at the dining table. Delicious, playing emotional cards for it is like a child crying and clamoring for a doll, in the adult world, a doll is not given any meaning, they can throw it away at any time and buy a new one, but for a For children, this doll may be a kind of spiritual sustenance, or it may have a more special and profound meaning.
Even, we can say that this movie is nothing more than advocating the protection of animals, but there are still people who joke that they are plant protectors.
In the animal world, those predators are still tearing and biting, but I think what the movie wants to express more is to eat in moderation and conform to the destiny. Give any creature a chance to breathe, don't rush the ducks to the shelves, and don't rush to kill them. Earlier, the movie "Wolf Totem" expressed such a central idea very well. Humans and wolves live together in the same land. They share resources, but they live in peace with each other. You can actually be very comfortable with one eye closed. It's just that there are always people who like to break the rules because of their own desires, so they will also be punished accordingly.
Of course, the final ending of the film "Yu Zi" is still the director's usual semi-open ending, which leaves us room to think about whether to let it develop or to rein in the precipice, which can only depend on personal perception.
Of course, we can watch this movie in depth, it is more like a group of adults, they give the children a puppy in order to make them behave, and finally, the puppy can make them money, so they kill the puppy, but let them Children face the reality, the domesticated children grow up and continue what their parents have done, and the children who have not been domesticated hide in the deep mountains and forests and do not know what the future will hold.
However, I still do not recommend this movie, because after all, this is my own perception after watching the movie, or because I am a person who is too emotional, and the ability to associate is too strong, so I have so many insights. In fact, when I watch a movie, I feel very ordinary, and even some places make people feel that they are pieced together into a movie, which is not careful enough, and even has a feeling of making a fuss. Let's not talk about the actor's acting skills for the time being, but there is a kind of comedy that uses a group of actors who are used to acting in tragedy, making the whole movie nondescript. In short, it is not recommended. Compared with "Parasite" directed by this director, the maturity is too low.
