I have watched many movies, and I always wanted to write a movie review or something, but either because of burnout, or because of the inexplicable fear of words, I couldn’t pick up the pen for a long time, but I was afraid that it would be I wrote something wrong, showing my superficiality, and in desperation, it has been delayed until now.

This evening, it was raining lightly outside, which made me have the urge to write something, so I suddenly remembered the Romance of Two Tigers I watched in the elective class a few days ago. next text.

Although this is a movie about animals, in terms of plot, it is true that waves are seen in silent places. The anthropomorphic images of tiger brothers and tiger brothers make us feel the warmth between human beings, but they go beyond human emotions. Above human beings, it stems from the fraternity of nature.

The irony aside. Aidan, a white hunter, came to Angkor Wat to steal the statues because of his own interests. Although this is a blasphemous act, but at the end of the story, we see that the gods are fraternity, and nature is also fraternity, and it tolerates everyone. a sinful soul. Maybe from the moment Aidan met the two little tigers, he had already started a journey of self-redemption, from the candy in his pocket to the words in front of the cage... Has he ever struggled? Yes, he did, he had a prejudice that originated from human beings, arrogance that only human beings have... Fortunately, at the end of the film, the moment he met Guma, he chose to let go Shotgun in hand. Although the box full of candies is empty, what Aidan reaps is a spirit of fraternity. Guma used his eyes to influence this once cold-blooded hunter. What we need is not the material in the box, but beyond the candy In itself, tolerance and harmony between humans and animals.

Jean-Jacques Anno told us a touching story in dozens of minutes and beautiful light transitions. From this point of view, I think he succeeded, he conquered the audience with the language of the film, at least conquered me.
