Imagine you are a fish in the Japanese waters

After watching it, there are still a lot of puzzles, and I don't understand what the film is trying to express.
What is certain, though, is that West End is trying to use the film to make people think: what's wrong with these animals, why are they like this, and whether we humans are going too far.
Although I haven't heard of similar incidents, and I don't know if I can encounter such a thing, the resistance of animals will definitely appear one day. Not necessarily a bird (I believe that the West End uses a bird as a medium because of the frailty of the bird itself, and few people would associate the cute canary with this catastrophe, using the image of frailty to contrast the violence of humans.
Thinking about the current nuclear incident in Japan, tens of millions of tons of waste water have been discharged into the sea. When I heard the news, my first reaction was: fish! People only think about themselves, but not the feelings of other creatures. Imagine you It was that fish, watching the waste water being discharged into the sea, watching the fish around him turn their white belly one by one, watching all the monsters hatched from the eggs, and dying as soon as they were born, watching their own fish scales. Lost every day. Watching the demise of one's own race, but helpless, watching that creature called human beings doing these things recklessly, completely ignoring other creatures, what does it feel like. Although, other creatures' The IQ may be far lower than that of humans, but what they feel is probably more panic, more painful and uncomfortable than the humans in the film. Moreover, not just one animal, thousands of animals are suffering Human torture, thousands, think about the Tibetan antelope, think about the civet cat, the elk, think about the elephant, think about the starlings you used to have in your family, think about the puppies you still have - when you're happy Feed it, take it out when you're upset, you think it's cheap and humble (although not everyone thinks so, or even if you didn't say it), but you think so from the bottom of your heart, because you show it That's it. There's
nothing you can do, and, there's another pain, you can't make any changes, even though you know it. West End, that's how it feels, I guess.

    Many people feel that this film does not provide the answer to the mystery, but I see that as early as the beginning of the film, Xi Pang has revealed the answer. In the bird shop, the male lead asked the female lead: Don’t you think these caged birds are pitiful? The hostess smiled and replied: Don’t let them fly everywhere? So in the second half of the film, humans were imprisoned in cars, telephone booths, restaurants, and houses sealed with wooden slats under the counterattack of birds... Isn't this a story of nature's revenge?
