The flamingo that died in the pond has never been resurrected, and all we see is its corpse from beginning to end. This is a film that is breathless from the beginning to the end, not only because of the cold and indifferent scenes and depressing and dull tone of the film, but also because of the unconscious sadness and powerlessness of the film after the sinking of human nature.
Daniel went from a beautiful and peaceful civilized society to the dark and hellish hometown of Salas. After salas experienced almost magical 3 days, he almost escaped from death, and finally returned to the civilized society, bringing his sense of the backward dark society. Expose, express to civilized society through new works.
In the 40 years of European society, Daniel has fully accepted the baptism of civilization, and scoffed at all kinds of behaviors in places like Salas, regardless of fancy parades, exaggerated greetings, or art exhibition evaluations without artistic content, even those that once The old people have made him unable to adapt, or even if he was a lover, kissing the past is not the taste of the past, but even so, he still needs such a salas, which is his root, no salas, no leaves, no flowers, no fruit. And the hypocrisy, greed, violence and savagery of salas are directly naked and unadorned after the initial touts. When primitive culture and European civilization show their true colors, it is a confrontation that is almost tearing, one is brutal violence and the other is ruthless contempt, and in the end it must be the price of blood.
Daniel grew up in Salas and became famous in Europe. When he talked about culture and criticized Salas in front of the microphone, he felt that he had completely escaped from a stagnant pond like Salas. He had already experienced the enlightenment of civilization and had seen through the barbarism of hell. , he is completely different from the protagonist of his book, and he will never return to salas. Now he has a more civilized weapon, he uses words to try to expose and liberate, he mocks the inhabitants of salas to be "easy" forever, and then flees back to the civilized world, picks up the pen, and exposes again. But when he draws inspiration for his creation from salas again and again, and writes salas again and again, his soul has been growing in salas. The works that he is proud of and sought after by the civilized society seem to be the overlooking of the barbaric society by the civilized society, but they are actually just self-portraits of the soul uncovered under the skin after the growth of salas.
Through the description of the character Daniel, the film shows the audience the vein of European cultural growth, sprouting from darkness and absurdity, and then flaunting the evolution of culture by revealing the darkness of history, which basically shows a kind of mockery of European civilization and society. . Thinking that you are out of the advanced stage is actually just self-hypnosis with a layer of sugar coating. Instead of reflecting on yourself, you only focus on the past, thinking that the liberation reform is just a dizzy Venus after turning around in circles. The last owner will only be the flamingo that died in the pond, just waiting to rot!
