It feels like a similar theme to the land of honey, but less evil and bitter, and more healing. Humans, don't care too much about yourself, how small we are, maybe one in 90 million in a handful of soil. / In the early part of the film, probably because of the lack of material, the director used animation in the form of humorous narration to tell the story before he came to the farm.
Several times in the film, it falls into a low ebb due to the difficulties and troughs encountered. The troubles and joys caused by natural replacement or unnatural intervention, and how to maintain a healthy ecosystem are constantly driving the development of the film. Ten years! The director is really skilled. Not only can he stick to the record all the time, but he also uses his own work and skills to shoot beautiful pictures. The plot design of the editing is also seen. I had difficulty breathing several times, followed them nervously and followed them laugh.
What I like the most is that the director did not emphasize the birth of his son at the end, but instead interspersed with the birth, aging, illness and death of the animals on the farm, naturally interspersed with reincarnation. Probably treat human beings like other creatures as a small part of the earth in the Milky Way, which is generally small and important, which is exactly what the director wants to express.
Take a step back and observe. Lower yourself and understand.
It is an important lesson for directors to learn from farmers, and it is also something that anyone who wants to become a great documentary director needs to learn.
