One pursues two lives, which is what the end of the film tells us. Of course, what needs to be explained is the meaning of these two kinds of life: the same as a bird lover, the same as a bird watching contest, and the same as a year of time, money, and energy, but the ending is two kinds of life. One is the second who has gained love, and the other is the first who has lost love. You may talk about gain and loss and values, but the comment on the first place in the film is: Only a professional bird watcher will know how to get the first place. Bird watching is indeed only part of life, but it is the attitude of the bird watcher that determines the outcome of the game. Hobby enthusiasts, for the sake of interest or to increase the fun of life, in the competition, not only hope that the results of the competition will be satisfied, but also hope that this experience and consumption can bring a little change to life, so based on these two points, the second place is indeed very good. success. So when he was informed of his second place result, he said, "we won. Maybe the first place saw more birds, but we had everything". Let's take a look at the first place. Although it is the second time that he has maintained his world number one record, it is also the second time that he has lost his family marriage. However, when we look back and think about it, the first place as a professional bird watcher, this kind of competition is his career for him, the improvement of his career, and the peak he pursues; there is no need to evaluate his family, His marriage, his lover; not to mention his professionalism. In fact, marriage and family are a part of life, right? Isn’t the great motivation for us to go on the road of life all about spiritual maintenance? When it comes to this issue, it returns to the issue of professional and amateur, occupation and hobby.

True enthusiasm and freedom, whether it's the movie itself or the story. A section of Attu Island teaches people's hearts and minds, a group of real free and easy people. Who can say that the so-called road that few people take must lead to noble and magnificent? This kind of lonely and simple happiness may be even rarer.

Three people are considered to have their place. One pursues honor more than everything, including family, so he can bear the loss of his wife. Of course, the other two people also attach great importance to the honor of bird watching, but they will not let chickens and birds ruin their lives.
