"Freedom, if you choose freedom, you choose loneliness. If you don't stop, you will go to destruction." This is the point of view of a shepherd who studies philosophy, and it happens to be Mona's destination. She chooses absolute freedom and only cares about the road under her feet. She is a person who is truly wandering in body and soul, and the destruction of the body will not prevent the wandering of the soul. The establishment of Mona's interaction with passers-by along the way is based on each other's demands, which is also the basic condition of social relationship. Mona can't stop or retain whether she is active or passive, she does not need this kind of relationship. Looking at Mona's journey from a worldly perspective, it is inevitable that she will feel pity, especially the part of being raped, but maybe she doesn't need any mercy from others, whether it is self-sinking or passive aggression, it will be destroyed in the same way. The film is actually quite trivial. It records while narrating, and often sends Mona out of the camera and stops for a few frames, which makes us have to face the loneliness and blankness in wandering. There are too many meaningless things in this world, of course, doing things is not necessarily for its meaning itself. Her wandering is neither survival nor belief. I am curious about Mona's thoughts when she is dying, but it is only out of the prying psychology in the eyes of ordinary people, and I will never know.
