With this wall we can begin to re-understand the world

This is by no means a magnificent and ups and downs "Robinson Crusoe", nor is it a "House in the Woods" with suspense and horror, nor is it a sci-fi fantasy and psychedelic "ET Alien", I can understand that sometimes When you are stubborn listening to the heroine's continuous psychological monologue, you will still fight hard. I firmly believe that the director will give an explanation to such a loyal audience at the end of the film, or even design an unexpected ending like "The Mist". But the subtitles at the end tell us: you think too much.

However, is this just an inspirational movie that records a person's life alone in a mountain because of a wall surrounded by a group of animals?

I'm trying to give you some clues here to help you understand the film more deeply.

In the news, I have heard that there are a group of people in the world who are tired of and give up their superior material life, break away from modern society, and choose to go to the wilderness without any hesitation. A primitive and pure seclusion.

In China, there are more people who call themselves hermits in the name of religion, and call this process spiritual practice.

What's different about the heroine of this movie is that she seems to be forced to.

Through the film, we can observe the heroine's psychological change process from the panic of discovering the hidden wall, then anxiety, then first struggle and then despair, until she returns to peace, and she struggles for survival day after day, year after year. In the days, the heroine seems to have become accustomed to it unconsciously, and even intoxicated in such a simple, pure and primitive living state of being in the company of animal companions and nature, unable to extricate herself.

Why do you say she can't extricate herself?

The next episode came: a human, and a human of the opposite sex to the heroine suddenly appeared, but appeared in the way of killing the heroine's animal friend, we were lonely, confused, and muttered to ourselves on weekdays The eloquent heroine did not say a single word at this time, and did not give the man a chance to say a word, and quickly shot the stranger who might have helped her (think Robinson. how to treat friday) she continues to choose to live like this, just because this unfortunate strange man, like herself, hunted down the heroine's animal friend (only cattle, dogs, cats and crows and is white) in order to survive. Just like a lonely and desperate survivor on a desert island, one day he found a ship on the sea, but he chose to give up the ray of hope of escape, no longer exploring, no longer fighting, no longer thinking, just blindly for this body The existence of human beings linger on and survive, continue to live in this closed world, return to the original position of human beings in nature, and spend the rest of their lives.

Why is the wall invisible? What is this hidden wall hiding?

All I know is that with this wall, we can begin to rediscover the world.

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.
