"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, only because I am in this mountain." The best perspective to understand the world is to look down. Under the care of this perspective, the hustle and bustle also becomes calm, allowing the audience to quietly watch the operation of the world.
Although, like you, I don't like to see some close-ups of people who are poseable. But the flaws do not hide the truth. The director has expressed everything he wants to tell people, and that's enough.
The film closely follows the theme of "reincarnation": materials change from resources to garbage, and animals from birth to dinner table. Matter becomes plastic, steel, things that the world doesn't have, animals stand in cages they shouldn't be in and become corpses: everything in the world is reincarnated. What about people? People go through making mistakes, being materialized, mechanized, commodified, and then sinking into the ground. It seems like it's never tired of it.
The camera travels between poor and affluent societies, exploring the final destination of material things, and observing the results of estrangement and war. Dirty and bad karma, nothing can go away, nothing can escape.
This world is inclusive, resting on the actions of all things, and the simplicity of religion and the prosperity of the world coexist. But is there no limit to this tolerance? Human beings are squandering, slaughtering, and actually dissolving ourselves. What is life, what is religion, what is life, what is worldly. The answer is sometimes obvious, sometimes the concept is vague, and the life of various concepts constitutes this society, which is what we see.
Thanks to the director for letting me see the secrets behind the products, but helplessly, we are all part of it.
