A modern utopian fable, a story about mental confusion - mental ease - mental breakdown.
At the beginning, the protagonist Richard expounds the life philosophy pursued by the whole film: "Get rid of all constraints and find a better and more exciting life. To this end, you will not hesitate to take risks. Don't refuse the invitation, don't be afraid to try, and don't lose your demeanor. , don't stay too long, open your heart to experience everything, even if it's painful, it's worth it."
Exciting freshness is easy to find, but eternal comfort is hard to find. Snake blood is easy to try and easy to throw away, heaven is difficult to enter and more difficult to leave.
Walking on the road is because you are tired of the place where you have started, and the restlessness of life drives the brain nerves to give birth to rosy fantasies about the distance. Perceiving that his body is out of tune with the material world around him, the confused spirit tries to seek solace from the unknown realm. He is not afraid of danger, but blood and pain can stimulate perception to prove his existence. It doesn't matter whether the future is good or not, what matters is that every moment of freshness can be used as a coloring paint for the value of one's own life. Even if the final drawing board is messy, it is always better than blank or pitch black.
Richard is disappointed when Duffy commits suicide in his messy guest room. He expects this house full of blood and spooky death to frighten his nerves, but he doesn't. of excitement.
The legend of the mysterious beach succeeds in seducing Richard, who has nowhere to go.
After long journeys and death crossings, the isolated "beach wonderland" lived up to the adventures of Richard and his party. The numb and rusty body consciousness due to the noisy and crowded city life and the drowsy concrete world gradually wakes up in the natural and pristine air and breathes freely again. The restless mind and the self-admonition of "don't stay too long" were completely forgotten. Richard thought that he had found his long-lost spiritual home and began to be satisfied with the comfort of this enclosure.
But where there are people there is desire, and desire is the originator of all unrest.
Life cannot be peaceful forever, and dangerous turmoil arises either from the desires of one's own heart or from the desires of others. If the desires meet, you will usher in a happy cooperation, and if your desires are opposed, you will go to a destructive confrontation. The desires of one person can never be satisfied, and the desires of a group of people can never be balanced.
Desires, expressiveness, conquest, and control, and so on, to sever the things that are innate in these people means pain, and pain is the last thing a hedonistic heaven can tolerate.
Before heading to the beach, a bored Richard willingly took the initiative to venture out, seeking excitement to determine where his desires were to invigorate. After entering the beach, Richard rejected all the dangerous factors that undermined the stable status quo. He thought he had found the best way to satisfy himself and the most beautiful paradise, and refused to burst the beautiful bubble.
Compared with the spiritual sustenance that has never been found, it is more cruel to gain it and lose it.
From sex with Sarah to abandoning his wounded and mourning friends, Richard is willing to sacrifice his body, betray his morals and conscience in order to preserve his spiritual home. But when Shar asked him to stay in the wilderness to deal with the outsiders, Richard went to a temporary breakdown as he was isolated from his spiritual home, first Shar, then Fansworth, and finally everyone in the community of Heaven.
And the final blow that makes Richard finally sober and choose to leave heaven is the direct contact of death. Unlike Duffy's death, it was a corpse. The death of life has become distant and indifferent because of the passage of time. Only the close-to-face killing and destruction are hot and real, unforgettable and heart-wrenching.
