There is joy in watching others suffer

After watching the film, I came back to see Dobaan playing with a dying Xiaoqiang. Before its life disappeared, I suddenly recalled our childhood when a group of children changed tricks to kill ants, grasshoppers, lizards, toads and other small creatures.

If the roles were changed or like Gulliver's Kingdom of Giants or Attack on Titan...

Creatures always seem to have a kind of happiness based on the pain of other creatures.

Thinking of Bergson's philosophy of life, life is the constant realization of the inner impulse. Inner impulses and desires are the driving force of evolution. And how much will this desire affect other things?

Life is the opposite of inertia and chance. It conquers death by reproduction. In the film, Del and his people resisted and won their freedom. Under the shell of surrealism, the light of human history is revealed.

Our ancestors were not easy. At that time they were preoccupied with survival and reproduction. Will we do the opposite in the future? Then history repeats itself, eternal reincarnation.

    73 years of cartoons. People at that time, after watching it, would be full of fear.

    1. Postmodernist illustrations. 2. Remote Control Collar/Wise Headphones/Pandora's Box. 3. Human beings are enslaved to the Daiggs race with a huge body and a high degree of civilization, and encounter the inevitable result of turning the situation around after revealing their intelligence and knowledge. The film itself has a clear metaphor: human desires are as shabby as those hunted creatures, and the peaceful coexistence of two very different survival systems is not easy, but the continuation and development of advanced civilization should never be achieved through oppression.
