The smeared bird is a rich symbol, a poetic image, and in this simple word, there are two references: one to the smeared man, and the other to the smeared bird. With this layer of thinking, we can feel the vast and dreamy extension of the movie through the title: "The Painted Bird" is like an imaginary bird with wings composed of two pointers attached.

Birds are a very important and common image in literature, both ancient and modern, all over the world, and it seems that human subconsciousness is connected.
