An anthropological experiment painted in rose color

If you grow up in an environment completely different from normal human society, what will a person become? This film made some imagination, and it is a rosy romantic imagination.

In the film's presupposition, after mastering basic language and survival skills, people can grow independently.

In the beginning, the male and female masters grew up a bit too ideal. They are both well-behaved-they have not surpassed the "law" of the old sailor, and they are lucky-they have not suffered natural disasters, and they are handsome men and women. Although their knowledge is short and naive, they are not influenced by the secular society and are fresh and natural.

Until the "ship" came, the story changed. The ship represents the modern civilization of mankind. When the first time came, the heroine did not ignite the distress signal. It was because of a kind of unwillingness to leave the island, especially the idea of ​​an island where only she and the male lead depended on each other. At that time, she seemed to be a little ignorant of the male lead. The attachment is... but not very mature after all.

The second time the ship came, they smiled at each other and gave up happily, this time more sober than the previous time. Prior to this, the male protagonist experienced a key event: the ritual of accidentally bumping into a cannibal. What's more terrifying: He found that the faces of these cannibals resembled the faces of people when they fled (here can be used to fill in some scenes of "Titanic"), maybe leaving the island and returning to human society, it is not necessarily true. Good thing. What's more, at this time they had already recognized each other, became a man and a woman, and later had children...With this understanding, they would live their lives on the island more firmly. (The hardship of life on the island has been watered down. They seem to have enough food every day, which also makes some rationalizations for their reluctance to leave.)

However, some details are still not very romantic and familiar. They quarreled with each other and depended on each other, which are similar to couples in modern civilization; the female protagonist’s ignorance and pain in the experience of menarche and childbirth are also recorded; the male protagonist will still masturbate (this is what the female protagonist said, she Actually know the word?). After all, human society, whether it is barbaric or civilized, is inseparable from "food lust"...

But even if there are waves, until here, the youthful breath of the male and female actors and actresses themselves attracted me to watch. Compared to love, it is not as earth-shattering as "Titanic"; compared to deep, it is not as good as "Fantasy Drifting of the Junior School".

It wasn't until the end that I shed inexplicable tears with sincere feelings, and realized the value of this story.

The love of the rosy skin, their children, is the key.

In a three-person boat, the child lost the oar, the father was found by the shark while chasing the oar, and the mother used another oar to drive the shark away. As a result, they had no oars left and drifted with the waves alone and helplessly.

At this time, the little guy unconsciously took out the poisonous fruit it had picked before and swallowed it. After being discovered by their parents, they began to fall asleep... In despair, the young parents also chose to sleep with fruits (some people think they were just asleep, some people think they were dead), but no matter what, they chose to give up.

The male lead did not say a word, and handed the fruit to the female lead. The hostess looked at him sadly, and finally they hugged and fell asleep. A flat boat floating on the sea, like a drop in the ocean, so small and lonely, the only comfort is that they have each other. This kind of strong helplessness and determination is mixed with isolation and loneliness, and it is really impossible not to move people.

But soon a ship found them...

Now, it's a bit of a tragic human metaphor.

Not to mention that people should not give up this truth easily at any time. More importantly, since when did the film gradually fade away from the rosy tone?

It’s when the heroine began to realize that she was a woman, and began to treat the hero as a man...

Their quarrel began here. Because the hero can not understand the strange behavior and thoughts of the heroine.

When men understand, their love comes, and so does the crystallization of love. Although the child is cute and has rosy skin. But it is possible that the mother will die due to dystocia. Even if not, the father will be crying and annoying to death. Even if not, the child will accidentally eat the poisonous fruit, and the whole family will be buried...

They can escape all the intrigues of human society, but it is quite interesting that they can't escape the above process.

And in modern society, there are many people who are dragged down by the combination of men and women, and the family and children are finally so tired that they want to "not wake up", maybe there are many people? The shark symbolizes the threat of survival, and parents hold their children together to exterminate themselves-it is also like the reality of family burning carbon in modern society...

The only difference is the flow of information.

If they have information and know that a ship is not far away, would they still take drugs?

So, is it enough to only master language and survival skills? Not necessarily enough.

Especially as the environment becomes more and more complex today, we still have more knowledge and more choices will be better.

Information is as important as belief.

People are fascinated by the game of survival on a deserted island, thinking that they have conquered nature and found the true meaning of life; but they seem to forget that as a person, a person who has been domesticated by modern civilization, has always escaped from being born and became a person. destiny.

In the end, all human beings will come to their altar, either devoutly offering to what they believe and persist, or desperately offering to the disillusionment of faith and persistence... Probably my tears shed for this.
