The intersection of human society and nature may begin with a totem-human beings give meaning to the messenger of nature in his own eyes, and entrust his belief and awe to it. It can be said that totem represents a natural phenomenon that is socialized. Any natural things that have been given totem meanings seem to have a place in human civilization-whether they are really worshipped or become an excuse for some people to order the majority. In short, a totem connects sociality and naturalness.
In this film, the wolf totem is only a representative, and it just happens to show the human choice between sociality and naturalness after entering modern society. In other words, the totem has become a testimony of the split between the two.
The film opposes the activities of the wolves and the crowd, which inspires contradictions, and at the same time makes it easier for people to see the collision between wildness and civilization. As the primates of all things, human beings always pride themselves on being civilized and progressive. In the eyes of human beings, the creatures of nature are undoubtedly not the objects of their own use, but the enemies. At least, non-human animals know how to only ask for what they need, and will not interfere with other groups unless they have to. They follow the balance laws of nature in their hearts. On the contrary, humans do not. Therefore, the wolf that affects life has become an enemy of course. However, when human beings are so conceited, it just reflects another backward consciousness in their hearts-greed. When the Mongolian young man revealed the location of Daxue Lake because he wanted a radio, his heart revealed desire; when the commune people pulled away all the yellow sheep in the lake, the excitement in their eyes, It is greed; when a piece of land that is not suitable for farming is seized, they should occupy it as they should; when ignorant bullets are shot at the graceful swan, maybe they are just for entertainment... all this seems to be the so-called so-called so-called The civilization of China is actually authentic and naked and wild. Human beings are using despicable ways to satisfy their desires without scruples.
On the contrary, on the other side of the laws of nature, a society of wolves that has always been despised by civilized humans appears more orderly. They follow the gift of nature and do not attack humans as a last resort. Reluctantly, human beings can't help plundering food, killing cubs and even planting various traps. So they fought back within their abilities, retaliating extremely cleverly. When the wolf army was dispatched several times, there were sacrifices. However, like real fighters, they obeyed the command, used wisdom, courage and courage to complete the sneak attacks. To be honest, if the two armies are at war, such a group of troops that fight back to the death might be enough to make people fearful. Under the pressure of humans time and time again, movie viewers can easily put their sympathy on the side of the wolves, especially when they see the last jeep round up, they will feel a sense of grief. The leader of the wolf, for freedom, one jumped off the cliff and died heroically; the other ran wildly and died arrogantly. After that, the respect of human beings for them is so natural. Because in other cities, too many people lose their minds and become extremely wild to treat their own kind. And those noble men, like the wolf king who yearns for freedom and unwilling to be humiliated, die with extreme dignity. In this way, in the frantic mouth and eyebrows of those chasers who are smiling, what I see is the clamor of slaying crazy souls. Sometimes I even think that the bullets shot at the wolves seem to have wiped out too many civilized societies of courtesy, justice, shame and fearless sacrifice.
When I was watching this film, I felt that the director used an extremely freehand way to express not only the tension between humans and wolves, but also the aggression of civilization against the wild — the greed and desire wrapped in civilization The aggression of broader natural attributes. When I thought about this, I found that the totem is no longer in the hearts of so-called "civilized people" like us. Because if we really believe in totems, we should have a minimum of respect and respect for nature. It is a pity that modern industrial production methods and the survival of billions of people are problems that need to be solved urgently. Therefore, I had to continue doing barbaric things under the banner of civilization.
