1. The original sin of sex?
Sex is not sinful, lust is sinful.
There are a lot of sex scenes and hints in the film, but it doesn't make people feel the pleasure at all. It made me think why the poorer the place, the more children and the stronger the primitive worship of sex. Because of poverty, lack of materials, and life like ants, people try their best to survive, so as to increase imports, which brings not only the supply of labor, but also the hope of family survival and reproduction. So it also made me feel that nudity and sex is not just beautiful, it can also be ugly.
2. Vigilance towards the Japanese nation
One author has analyzed it very well. Japan itself is an island country with poor resources and a harsh environment. It is rooted in the national nature of natural selection and the aggressiveness of survival of the fittest. It is necessary to be vigilant against it.
3. Reconcile with the world
My three views are no longer easily shaken. When I watched this film, I was more accepting. At the same time, I began to think more deeply about more things. My experience kept reminding me that the world is far from what I understand. So superficial. Someone saw the instrumental theory of a woman's body from the film. Is that a tool? That is obviously the supreme survival power! There are always people who think that women are weak, but they don't know that men's average lifespan is shorter. Men have evolved to serve women around them, and men's social attributes are tool people. Just like in the film, the baby girl can go to sell for money, and the baby boy is only suitable for fertilizer.
