Whether or not you appreciate "Leaving the Soul" depends on whether you can understand the humor in it. It can be said that this film itself is a huge joke, this humor is really too unique, so it can completely influence people's evaluation of this work. For example, Wilson, who stomped on his skull while muttering blasphemous words, was too cruel, so let's omit it. Let's listen to the conversation between the other two people about Wilson. "Did you know? That guy assaulted his parents." The comrade was blindfolded, blinked for a long time, and then asked, "...both?" Yes, both parents are included. The early Americans invaded their parents like Wilson did before eating it. If the Indians who originally lived on that land (later named Massachusetts) did not provide the Mayflower’s boat riders with a place to eat and sleep, the immigrants would have frozen to death or died in less than a year. starve. However, in the next generation, the Indian massacre occurred. Moreover, the settlers immediately launched a civil war and successfully achieved independence. Betrayal of the British and the savior Indians, this is not a father and a mother, what is it? Then, Wilson ended his companion's life by saying "Fuck you (the one who did that with mother)". When asked "where did he immigrate from", he even killed and ate the remaining person. This is not a joke, in fact, there are often stories of predation of Indians in the history of American pioneering. All in all, this is a genre film that eats the flesh of the soul, the death of life, the development of mankind, and the history. With William Blake’s journey, we can relive every experience he has experienced. He attributed all the tragedies to himself (equivalent to "symbolic" nailing the bullet that penetrated Cell's chest after Charlie shot into his heart), and then he kept resisting and struggling to get it all back. , Is a self-contradictory hero. Maybe he was shot and killed by Charlie long ago, and the future story is just a dream after his death. The meteor that William saw across the night sky at that moment is evidence. Whether it is a dream or a reincarnation of life, it has already embarked on a journey.

    I admit that I didn't understand it, and I don't feel anything about this movie. It's very mysterious, but the performance of the characters is a bit unreasonable. People who don't like it can't like it no matter what.
