The so-called "civilized people" here are not civilized at all, even more barbaric than the primitive family. They wear the cloak of civilization, but they actually became "civilized" by plundering the water source of the aborigines (monkeys in the movie), which is exactly the same as the robber culture in the West.

Ironically, the movie finally created an imaginary enemy, a "monster" that did not exist in reality, and let these "civilized people" save the monkeys, and finally lived happily together, wow, what a great savior

    Girls power! I didn't expect the sequel to be so rich! Full of symbolism, it also incorporates multiple themes, feminism, mid-life crisis, confusion in love, collision between civilizations, sustainable development of the environment...and a super moving environment and worldview setting! Oh look at those pretty monsters and plants! Awesome!

    Even if the environment always wants two girls to compete, they can still become best friends. And matrilineal tribes are the most distinctive!
