How long can you live without society

From the movie, it is obvious that this is an adaptation of a novel, and there are many original texts of the novel.
The text of the novel "Hidden Wall" is beautiful, the filming location is also beautiful, and the violin is played nicely. Although the plot does not have a climax, the concept is very unique, and the narrative is also very philosophical, which is the kind of film I like.

As a regular viewer, I have to admit that since the beginning of the film, I felt that the ending was going to come out of the wall. In the end, the story does not end like this, but an open ending.

The film mainly discusses the issue of human loneliness.
Some time ago, I happened to see a discussion about the social nature of human loneliness. I think it makes sense and it's interesting. It may be said that human loneliness is social loneliness. You won't enjoy loneliness if no one knows you're lonely. Your loneliness is meaningful only if the people who care about you or the people you care about know that you are lonely.

In the film, the heroine lived for 3 years without being socialized completely.
This can't help but remind me of a hypothesis I heard when I was a child, you are the only one left in the world to join. And the question this time is, how long can you live? What are you living for?

In the whole film, what touched me the most was what she wrote.
Why do people write things to spread the word. Humans have a desire to communicate. But what she writes, no one will see, whether she is alive or dead. She only writes for herself, not even herself.

This is how I understand the ending. Without paper, she could no longer write. The last thing she could do as a person has been done. She doesn't even need language anymore. She became nature, everything inside this wall, and everything outside it.

The Wall quotes

  • Woman: Now I am completely calm. I see a little bit further. I see this is not the end yet. Everything goes on. Taurus, Pearl and Luchs will not return. But something new is approaching, and I cannot escape it. The memory, the grief and the fear will remain and there will be hard work as long as I live.
