The dilemma of modern man

The whole film is set in a constructed sand village. The hero has never returned to Tokyo, but the story is about modern people living in a big city and living according to a set route. Because the male protagonist was trapped in the house of the girl of sand and forced to become a member of the village, the living environment changed, and the male protagonist began to resist; but he failed to escape and found some fun in life (such as using siphon phenomenon to get water), which made him re-examine his new life. The result of the scrutiny seems to me hopeless, and it coincides with the words of the heroine who has never seen the world: this is not different from Tokyo. The same hard work in exchange for social resources, the same marriage and children, desire and siege; even the same two people talking and laughing but could not understand each other at all (this clip is very similar to waiting for Godot); and what he pursues The so-called ideal of , is even more ridiculous here. Poor modern man, couldn't even be trapped in a worse place!

The story of the village girl's daily meaningless digging sand and finally sinking into the sinking story. In the end, the entomologist himself became a trapped bug, which can be called the limit of anthropology;

Kishida Kyoko is really suitable to play such a submissive and self-righteous woman, whether it is in "Wan Zi" or this "Sand Girl", she is full of heavy desires to be fiddled with.
