In the process of watching "Border Strange Tales", I always thought that it is actually just animals, whether it is people or Troll. We just happen to live on the same planet, like Huskies and Alaskans, Shiba Inu and Akitas, a little bit similar, but just different.
And all the boundaries between discrimination and non-discrimination, appreciation and non-appreciation, beauty and ugliness, good and bad, right and wrong, all come from the definitions of human beings, those values, those conventions.
As human beings, we look at the world with human thoughts, and we don’t particularly question what is wrong with these rules, but Boundary Qitan created a character like Tina, which allows us to re-look at the so-called values and constraints.
It's a really tense film, and there's always a way to find great prying points.
I like the setting of Vore very much. He opened a window in Tina's heart and told him the real free world that belongs to their race, but through the mistakes he made, Tina began to think about the need for human beings to set norms. , Are those conventions necessary for the world to maintain the overall good development?
Or to put it another way, is Tina, or we who have received human education since childhood, just can't bear to live in such a society without value criteria? We have been educated a long time ago that our liberation can only be moderate liberation, and our badness can only be unconventional badness - this is the best rule of thumb for the peaceful coexistence of human beings, there will be gains and losses.
"Frontier Story" is like a large-scale fable, using exaggerated techniques to tell the struggles of ordinary people. What exactly is self-identity? How to balance self-identity and "survival in this world"? Not everyone has an excuse for not being a person; not everyone is lucky enough to receive a postcard from Finland. Even sadder than Tina, we are really human.
