Maybe the movie is about what pain brings to people. A passively injured person, the heroine turns the pain into a part of herself and begins to dance the bullfight. For those who are actively injured, the hero escapes from beginning to end and does not dare to cut meat. The dilemma that the male protagonist is caught in is how to face the pain and vortex that he has created. He didn't dare to face it, his pain was because of his cowardice. Getting along with normal people will only increase his guilt. He can only communicate with animals and aliens to escape. I especially like two places, the heroine secretly putting her feet on the table when no one is there, and the scene where the heroine finally delivers a lunch box, which is especially moving in such a movie rebuilt on the ruins. The symbols of this movie are stacked neatly and have a high degree of completion, but it always seems to be a little less heroic, and it is not the best Imamura Shohei. Back to the original motif, the process of the actor admitting his mistake. A person, the probability of truly facing his own mistakes and self-blame is probably the same as the probability of a UFO coming.
