An infectious disease broke out in France, and the infected people would mutate into animals, some would grow bird feathers and wings, and some would grow the tentacles of squid, gradually losing the ability to speak human beings and living like beasts. The authorities decided to keep the men in lockdown and imprisoned. Lana, the wife of the male protagonist Fonsuwa, was taken away because of this. Fonsuva did not agree with the callous treatment of the authorities, and after hearing that his wife and her companions had escaped, he took his son Emir to the forest in search of his wife's ......
This is the plot of the new film "Animal Kingdom", which is like a contemporary fable, facing the current boiling of all kinds of discrimination,**What exactly decidesWe are one kindIs it a similar appearance, or is it the core of being willing to get along with love? The questions of the movie ** are heavy, but the story is simple and light, like a spring breeze, blowing gentle ripples in people's hearts. Father and son drove through the boulevard, shouting their mother's name. They listened to old songs and talked about old stories, and the forests on both sides seemed to separate the tunnel between time and the outside world, and only the love for their wives and mothers flew away. The emir soon found himself mutating, with feathers growing on his back, sharp teeth in his mouth, and his hands and feet curling up. He was so frightened that he secretly hid his teeth in the sewers, not daring to tell anyone about his fear.
One day he met a boy in the forest who was turning into a bird, and he was not afraid of the monster-like appearance of the other party, and brought fish for food. The bird boy gradually unguarded himself, exposed his wounds in front of him, and in his encouragement, learned to fly. Two monsters who are regarded as aliens by the human world form a sincere friendship, which is a friendship based on understanding, acceptance, compassion, and kindness. In contrast, the laughter, play, and ridicule of the emir and his playmates in life seem hypocritical, fragile, and vain.
When Fang Suwa found out about his son's secret, he wanted to secretly feed him a sleeping pill and put him at home. During the argument, the emir shouted to his father: "You are not afraid that I will die alone, but that you will be lonely!" "What is love? Love is always tender, but it is also an attempt to possess.
His wife Lana finally appeared, and she no longer looked like she was in **, she became a black bear, and she was extremely powerful. When she broke into the storeroom and found Fonsuwa. Fang Suwa was stunned. The instinctive fear of being crushed by the bear, and the longing for his wife, at that moment his illusions about how to live after finding his wife must have been shattered, they could no longer sit at a round table and share food, she already belonged to the mountains and forests. In the misty forest, the two parted. When the emir is blocked in the forest by the military who are rounding up the monster, she reappears and puts the bear's forehead against her son, giving him the courage to face the future.
When others call us monsters, do we just run away or try to hide? Do we have to regard our new selves as monsters, self-exiled in the cracks between the old civilization and the new life? When his son was exposed, Fang Suwa, who was eager to keep his son by his side, helped him escape, broke into the forest exclusion zone, opened the car door, and shouted to him: "Run, run, run and you will be free." ”Deeper love is acceptance and fulfillment.
The movie uses two perspectives, large and small, to illustrate people's attitudes towards others, one isAn indifferent, machine-like big perspectiveDo they rudely solve problems, seek only a kind of order, and do not even delve into it, and if people become as able to fly as birds and as powerful as bears, will they destroy the whole society? If the human form disappears, will that person's consciousness and emotions also disappear? At least in the movie, it is the human beings who are obsessed with destroying and resorting to violence. The other isA personal, loving little perspective, through the eyes of relatives, to see the essence of the so-called monster, under the gradually alienated body, there is still the warmth of the past. And, is difference necessarily destructive? As the teenagers were eager to try their hand at flying, I saw the curiosity and openness of the teenagers, and when the bird boy successfully took flight, the eyes of the emir sparkled when he looked up. He must have realized that a life different from his past self does not mean that it is dark and cramped, and the animal world also has its vast space.
If people were brave enough to confine or expel their fellow human beings when they developed fangs and wings and gained strength and speed, and tried a new way of getting along, who could say that this was not a collective evolution of the human race? Narrow fear kills this possibility, so humans and animals, isolated from each other, live in loneliness and fear. Throughout history, openness and seeking common ground have been circulating in human society. Openness and integration have brought brilliant prosperity; Narrow-minded seeking common ground will reduce oneself to ashes, but human beings just can't quit the fear of the other, the fear of change. So, is the so-called barbarism external to nature, or is it the human brain? In the movie, what kind of world would it be in the forest that Emir ran to? After all the mutation and expulsion, do they care if you're a bear and I'm a lizard? The same experience may become a solid foundation for alliances, transcending species perceptions, reforming societies, and that forest may become a new planet.
