Today's art films are allegorical, avant-garde music and camera processing. But there are not many people who can come into contact with real human nature. Real humanity comes from millions of years of human evolution, social civilization, and real life. A good art film cannot completely override the content. It has to be carefully thought out and digged a little bit. My personal opinion is this.
Labor is a basis for people to endure the escape time when they have no future. Meaning in a meaningless life. The male protagonist finally finds the value of existence in the unimaginable captivity life. And this process of change has a certain degree of credibility. Mixed with deconstruction of social consciousness, relativism of good and evil, pessimism, and extreme distrust of real government.
-------This passage is from other movie reviews. Because I can't find such a suitable and concise word.
The meaning and value of the male protagonist's last pursuit is the water you drink when you are extremely thirsty, the radio when you are extremely dry, and the meaning of the sand dune pump. the connection between himself and the sand. This is not so much the mental illness of higher intelligent creatures as it is an animal nature. Because from the beginning, animals have been fighting for survival, and the resulting adaptability to extreme living environments and the instinct to survive make the first bite of food after the animal starve extremely delicious, and this stimulation also makes the subject have a strong presence feel. A kind of psychosis of the male protagonist is to seek this kind of stimulation, an extreme mode of seeking happiness. Stockholm Syndrome is a mutation under the suppression of cruel nature. After encountering an objectively unchangeable dilemma, the male protagonist struggles passively to actively accept it, and finds happiness in it, so as to keep his spirit from breaking down completely and losing his ability to survive. After the predicament changes, or when there is a chance to change, that is, at the end of the film, he cannot get out of this circle and "forgets" the original purpose. Perhaps over time, this change penetrated into his whole thought, conjuring up the true meaning of his life. The most terrifying thing is the prison drawn by one's own spirit.
In the movie, women are ignorant and submissive, while men lose themselves in constant thinking. It seems that two completely different creatures comfort each other and depend on each other.
Sand is a soft, intangible, unpredictable symbol that slowly swallows everything. The original choice of this image is very intuitive and easy to understand for the audience.
