In my opinion, sticking your hand out the window is a metaphor for adventurous spirit, and slaughtering flies is a metaphor to drive away the unhappiness in life.
In the first half of the film, the fly-fighting and the adventure are done with the same hand.
This hand carries more childhood visions of the world, representing authenticity and fearlessness. Put your hand out the window, you can feel the wind and record the natural sound. But it's also an unsafe, unsafe move. When we were children, we hadn't learned to balance this contradiction, so our parents paid expensive tuition to teach the male protagonist, and the male protagonist's tuition was the loss of both parents.
However, is it also unsafe and unsafe to explore space as an astronaut? It's like holding an umbrella and then the wind through the turbulent traffic to the opposite building. These unsafe behaviors are our most instinctive longings when we are young. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be astronauts to explore space.
So, should you stick your hands out the window? The film seems to say no from beginning to end.
The first tragedy was that the male protagonist's parents died in a car accident, but it was not directly caused by his hand out the window, but indirectly caused. This made the male protagonist confused, and he began to withdraw his hands, daring not to break in, only to obey. Until the heroine appeared, he regained his vitality and started to fight for the life he wanted.
The second tragedy is that the male protagonist hit flies when he was in poor condition. Fighting flies (to drive away the unhappiness in life) is also something you know you can't do, which is the same as the essence of adventure. This time, he succeeded in catching the fly, but it directly caused him to lose part of his body. We thought this film was going to be a complete tragedy. Even his hand returned to the host after nearly 90 minutes of plot, and the host instinctively rejected the hand that always wanted to stretch out the window in order to protect himself.
The heroine's point of view is similar to that of the audience, and we are all worried that he will never recover. I even saw a sign of a suspected jumping off the building - that piece of wood.
However, at the end of the film, the director brought a turning point to the plot and a climax like a bowl of warm water in a frozen world. He didn't give up taking risks and challenging boundaries just because he lost that hand. And this time, in a good state, where feasible, he took the risk.
The future is unknown, but what we do know is that the male protagonist has not lost his adventurous spirit or his original vitality. It's not the adventurous spirit that's wrong, it's our incompetence. Isn't growth the constant strengthening of one's ability without changing the original intention?
The above is the philosophical significance of the film. What makes me feel more commendable is its audio-visual language and the detailed design of the plot. This idea of taking an adventure from the microscopic perspective of one hand really pioneered the surreal urban adventure western. Especially the part where the hand is in the subway, the interaction with the baby, and the crossing of the galaxy with an umbrella, all left a deep impression on me.
Although this view of love and life is not my thing, the author has portrayed the characters and plots very completely and delicately. Fabulous! ! Excellent! ! I love this adult animation so much! ! !
