thought-provoking comedy

It was funny when I first saw it, and then I saw it differently. The inhabitants of the Kalahari know nothing about modernity. They live the life of primitive people, no disputes, no crime, no intrigue, no seafood and shark fins. They live leisurely, live in groups, and live peacefully and peacefully. This may be the purity that modern society lacks. The bottle of Coca-Cola fell in front of the protagonist Kai. He thought it was the will of God, a gift from God, and brought the gift back to the tribe. Modern civilization hit this small tribe for the first time. A funny story happened. People used this "gift from God" as a labor tool to do various things, but then everyone began to snatch this labor tool. The elder sister brutally beat the younger brother's head with a bottle, full of blood, and the peaceful life was broken by modern civilization. . Disputes began to arise among the people. Looking at it now, I can't help but wonder, does every development of civilization inevitably bring about disputes? With the development of civilization today, it is difficult for us to say that today's civilization is definitely better than feudal society and primitive society. Modern people just use modern standards to measure the contrast between the past and the present, and the past is weaker than the past. In stark contrast to the Bushes, the modern people in the film are busy, people can't bear to succumb to nature, but have to adapt to human beings naturally. They build cities, invent various means of transportation, machines, and rack their brains to save energy. , the more you think about improving your living environment, the more complicated your life becomes. Children must spend fifteen years or more in school learning how to survive in this complex and dangerous environment. These civilized people must always think about how to adapt to the environment they have created, spend a lot of energy, and run around for family and work. In the Kalahari, you can pass the day as you wish, and every day is Sunday if you are happy. Maybe this means that there is something to gain and something to lose. Society has progressed, people have become more complicated, and they are more tired.

    The score is high, probably in the 1980s and 1990s, it was very happy, and the film is really good, even now it is not bad~~~ In addition to being funny, it also clearly reflects the author's intention. A civilized society makes civilized people Stupid, primitive society makes primitive people look so comfortable and unrestrained. . Criticism means strong. . PS: The children sang songs all the way. . . . . Really pitiful. . TT

    The deviation of the narrative focus makes the film one step away from the classic. But there is nothing to say about being funny. The front is obviously better than the back, and it is a bit top-heavy.
