Watching this film without any historical background, the most direct feeling is the director's super ability to control the film. Several aspects of self-perception:
One is the impact of dimensionality reduction. The battle of wits and courage in the original pursuit of the same dimension personnel came to an abrupt end when a team of Spanish warships appeared on the coastline. The feeling at that moment was undoubtedly shocking, showing the insignificance of everything under dimensionality reduction. This may be the course of history, the power of civilization and technology.
The second is the display of raw power. In the process of chasing and killing, including hunting and killing animals in the early stage, relying on the power of human instinct, it showed the initial wisdom and courage after combining with nature.
The third is the bloody scene. In the process of hunting wild boars and dividing food, sacrifice of captives, hunting and killing of captives, etc., it seems so barbaric and bloody. But it is also part of our historical process.
The deepest feeling is that under different levels of civilization, the power of individuals, even ethnic groups, will appear so insignificant.
