children's island

There are the most beautiful and cruel things in human beings in children's nature. The worlds of children and adults are completely different. MAX's strong energy and imagination allow him to create a universe by himself. However, the selfishness and egoism of children are also terrible. , If the residents of an island are "innocent like children", the result will not make the island a paradise, but become like in the film, falling into loneliness that cannot understand, understand and love each other. Carol's abilities and his overly idealized vision of the future of the big family make him the "bad guy", unable to accept emotional setbacks, unable to communicate and coordinate, and just pin his hopes on an almighty "king"... There may be such a superpower king who can free everyone from loneliness, so this king is often reduced to a target when difficulties and setbacks occur, and is eaten by everyone. The crown on the bones and the words the goat girl said to him when the male protagonist left revealed a cruelty that he did not care about, including the wounds of others caused by the fighting games that the male protagonist liked, all of which reflected a kind of gamey, unaware of consequences, Irresponsible violence, which is nowhere higher than ordinary children's films.

The dark and cold tones of the film and the ballad-like soundtrack are smudged out of the traditional expectations of childhood and adventure stories, making the style of the whole film more cold and restrained. Their bodies, ugly faces, and comically short legs and fat buttocks while walking make them look like the outcast, unwelcome weird kids in real life. A lot of places are a little cult. For example, KW swallowed MAX to protect him, but when he parted, he said "I love you so much that I want to eat you whole." All in all, a very good growth film.

    The idea and angle are very good. Wild things are the little emotions of children. They only know how to play, but they are also afraid of being alone, afraid of dying, and afraid of being ignored. But the ending is a bit cliché, and the whole story should be more fun. right!
