Desires and fears, the interpretation I can accept ends here. The genius of the film itself is that it does not make evaluations. For example, when it comes to the victory of desire over fear, the comments are full of contemptuous sighs, but you can also see human nature and the meaning of life from desire.
Well, just comment on these. Regarding the film itself, does anyone think this is an existential stuff? The isolated scene from the social environment, everyone throws themselves in, with selfishness and desires, and desires can only be realized by relying on others. Today we all live in a complex set of social relationships, and the film shows a simple ecological community before it was highly organized. The main reason for liking this film, in addition to the fragrant sound of birds and flowers, is because it does not teach. Even the best sermons turn me off, like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Dancer in the Darkness." This film is a model of minimalism, because its minimalism reflects a height of contemporary human realm.
