A metaphor missing a corner, a European film with South American elements and an over-realistic art film

Thoughts:

The totalitarian regime has no consensus, only the source of power, nothing more than the repetition of power and usurpation. Prove the importance of the constitution. For example, I thought that if the engineer really hurt the little boy when he left the rainforest, he would still be judged.

Existing problems:

1. The narrative perspective of white engineers is unclear

When the girl was intimacy with her, she was like an old man/worldly success who couldn't integrate into the young/rebel army, she was like a symbol of the previous generation. However, the creator has a taste for nothing. After that, she did not have an emotional intersection with this group of monos, so she does not seem to be a clear crowd/generational symbol;

When she flees, kills, and TV tells that she has escaped, she is like an action scene, a suspenseful clue. However, there are neither rescue scenes nor information about why she is important, how she can contain the monos and even the rebels in other places. It is difficult to bring tension into the rhythm, so she does not seem to be a successful action drama;

As an American engineer who was brought to the rainforest by the South American rebels, she was like a political symbol when answering Spider-Man’s questions with pain, but the film completely avoided how globalization brought changes and conflicts to South America, so She does not seem to be a prop for political issues.

2. European humanities issues are too heavy, and the perspective is not suitable

The description of the human origin’s eros/hormones at the beginning is full of the humanistic care of the first world. If there is no drug scene, or it can be said that this is the original epic of Marquez’s rainforest, but with that The inexplicable description of drugs, it can be said that the first paragraph is basically the question of European exquisite humanities in the leather of South American plateau. Such exquisite emotions can occur in Copenhagen, New York, and Tokyo, and it can be said that it does not violate peace. .

3. Full of real details, but all are blurred

Although the content is full of real South American customs (the rainforest, fishermen, and dwarf chiefs should be real rebels, and rambo has to drink a sip of water before getting on the fisherman boat), the creators have all added blurry filters (such as although We can see the fisherman’s house and boat clearly, but we still don’t know what exactly this fisherman lives on).

All in all, it is an eye-catching mashup movie. Through the creator's understanding of the social conditions and cultural characteristics of South America, it presents a rare and detailed story.

    It has a strong visual style and mature content, and I finally watched a movie that did not use lines to tell the audience the title metaphor.

Of course, it was not all the impact brought by the plot, but the highly conceptual extension of the entire text. Underneath still maintains a very concrete connotation, and it also gives the audience space to breathe while fully mobilizing the audiovisual emotions. The disciplined barbaric land, the resolution of duality (moral, biological, behavioral, etc.), the collision between the ineffective "barbaric" and the "more barbaric", the awakening in Rambo With the sacrifices of more people, everything is moving towards a chaotic but gradually clear situation. The natural, primitive, and strong mysticism is the best explanation for the indistinctly suspended background of the entire story.
