Freedom is acknowledging and accepting what happens to us, knowing that we are determined and limited.
And Mona's loneliness is a pointless resistance. As the shepherd said: her rebellion eventually merged with what she rebelled against. Mona's loneliness has long since melted into aimless wandering.
She is neither alone nor free, and ends up falling into an escape-like nothingness. Self-destruction seems to be the only result.
If anyone envies her wandering and her ways, then I think it's probably because they don't understand the meaning of freedom.
On August 8, I watched the film at the French Cultural Center.
