Secondly, I read most of the film reviews, and found that there are very few that can understand and speak to the point. Of course, a lot of people express disdain for saying this, so let me tell you my own point of view:
1. The male protagonist's job is to kill wolves. His wife left him, and his life has no warmth. In his own words, he lived like a mouse crossing the street all day, and was spurned by others. "I'm useless to this world." In addition, this work of killing animals made him more aware of the impermanence of life. In his eyes, there is no difference between humans and wolves, and some are just equals of life. As a result, he lost interest in life, and his mentality was even more pessimistic. The night before he left, he actually wanted to shoot himself and leave this world that made him feel meaningless. And he was full of sympathy for wolves in the process of hunting wolves (don't refute first, look back), evidence 1: when committing suicide, a wolf howl made him give up this idea again (for him, maybe This is a call of the same kind); Evidence 2: He will caress the dead wolf's body, in the human world, he has not much nostalgia, but he has a sense of guilt in the face of the dead wolf; Evidence 3: This is very bold Guess: The surviving accomplice of the crash was the one he deliberately brought to the wolves to give the wolves a chance for revenge. This will be analyzed later.
2. Everyone in the film has their favorite person, some love their daughters the most, some love their wives the most, and some want to entertain him with a sexual object. This is the human world. But is there no such real feeling in the world of wolves? The wolves he had hunted before were probably daughters, wives, sex partners of other wolves. In a word, they are also the only wolves carrying family affection among the wolves who bring joy and true love to other wolves. The film repeatedly shows everyone's grief before death. In fact, it is to say: the same is true for wolves. When you humans cry for the pain of your loved ones, have you ever thought about the feelings of wolves? They are as painful as people! ! Revenge - the wolf's vengeance on man - nature's vengeance on man - this is the further theme.
3. His father's poem:
Going to the battlefield again and
throwing himself into the last battle of this life
. Life or death
is today
. His father was a soldier and wrote this poem on the battlefield. This poem actually expresses the despair of people in an involuntary environment! It's not about plucking up the courage to live in a desperate situation! This is where many people misunderstand. Look back if you don't believe me. This poem runs through the film, and the actor recites it repeatedly. This is actually a manifestation of his desperation in life like his father, why despair? The job of these people is to drill oil wells, thus disturbing the wolf's territory and triggering a war with the wolf. wait! Thus disrupting the balance of nature. In this sense: people are more ferocious than wolves! Humans are worse than wolves! ! So that poem is about human beings in pursuit of material civilization progress, but also has entered a road of no return---disrespect other life forms---and hostile to nature! ! Humans do more damage to the environment than wolves! So he is desperate. And this desperation is exactly in line with the slogan of protecting the environment that we have been emphasizing, but this protection only stays in lip service, and the damage to the environment is still going on recklessly—the reduction of species, the destruction of the climate, and so on. Despair is a normal response. This is the correct interpretation of the poem.
4. Why did he say that he deliberately brought his accomplices into the Jedi? First of all, he has become so desperate for humanity that he almost committed suicide. Secondly, he knows wolves very well, and he must know how to unite and not be hunted by wolves, and how to avoid wolf dens. But contrary to what he said, people were hunted by wolves one by one, and finally walked into the wolf's den! This should never be a mistake made by someone like him who knows wolves very well! So, the conclusion is: he did it on purpose! When he said 'kill the wolves one by one', he was saying the opposite, he wanted the wolves to 'kill them one by one'! The only wolf killed was the one who didn't listen to him. In addition, when there were only two people left, another asked him what he was doing that night, and he didn't answer. If he said he went out to commit suicide, that person would doubt his motives for leading them. Finally, why did he do this? Because he can't see hope in this endless destruction and killing, as more and more species fight back against human beings, he feels that the future is just like when his wife left him. "It's just a matter of time" makes him despair . It's better to wait to die than to solve it yourself. He hated the short-sightedness and ignorance of human beings, so he chose to take these people to die together and be liberated together. The last ten seconds show that wolves are alive and people are dead. In fact, it is not important whether people live or not. What matters is whether human beings will reflect.
Finally, those who see in this movie 'survival in desperation' and 'strong will' and 'the future is uncertain, the road is difficult, should we go on? 'The people are dead wrong! ! Human beings destroy the harmony of nature and demand resources endlessly, and the revenge caused by nature to man is the theme of the film. And 'fear' is exactly the facial expressions and real mentality of people when this kind of revenge comes, which is the correct insight of the word GREY. If human beings do not reflect, they will gradually fall into despair like the hero, and then cause human disasters. Isn't this just like the hero's suicide? ? So, don't watch this movie with the mentality of watching savage men kill countless wolves and finally stand out from the siege. This is a big mistake. . .
Ha ha. A little personal opinion. Maybe too subjective, please criticize and correct me.
