Balthazar is a donkey, she loves it is a myth, the more she loves it, the more they hate it, its presence makes them seem ridiculous.
The arrival of a new member makes all kinds of animals extremely excited or frightened, and they shout with joy.
When a person is drunk, he subconsciously kills someone, and he doesn't even know he has committed a crime. Will he still be held responsible?
Feeling the donkey's feelings, it is the alienation of a person like a person with feelings.
The unexpected death of a relative left Arnold with a considerable fortune. Arnold got the donkey, but when everyone was happy for him, he died mysteriously. The donkey went to the mill. You can see the sadness in his eyes. And when it rains, it's time to leave. Mary's sudden appearance changes the course of events.
When one person destroys everything, people still turn a blind eye.
When a person who loves money and hates death taunts another that her father values ​​self-esteem above all else, and that he has spent his life creating responsibility, people become even more absurd. I'm only responsible for the ones I'm interested in that bring me profit. Life is a trading market, you don't even need to talk, you only need a banknote. Money can exempt you from all responsibilities, and even let people do anything for you.
The donkey finally returned to Mary's side. The loss of her life made Mary grow and become a reality. Zack is still so innocent. Mary tells Zack that their love as a child was just games.
Mary was stripped and locked in the room, and through the glass we could only see Mary naked and crying in the corner. Mary is gone forever.
Echoing the beginning when the donkey was born, the donkey was baptized when he was born, and he is still considered a saint by the end. Donkeys can't choose their own destiny when they are old, and they are used for illegal activities. In order to achieve other people's goals, he marched hard, and was kicked and beaten to the border. He was just a donkey, and at the last moment of his life I saw him dying slowly among the sheep. Irresistible loneliness. Animals can also die in this way, and it's gorgeous and even the gesture of death is poignant.

    1. Man must be the worst creature on this earth. From the point of view of a donkey, those who waved whips at him, spoofing and torture for no reason, this nature is too evil. 2. He can't speak, but he is wise and emotional. 3. That girl is like this donkey, she bears it silently, but she just can't escape certain predetermined fates.

    Mary's death made the tragedy a tragedy. There seems to be no other better ending. Life is a tragic encounter, and if the donkey is a saint, it is a witness to suffering without words. Rancière used the first few shots of the film to talk about the image, but I think after watching the film, what he said is not that important. Maybe he said it well, the literary nature of the image. This movie is an old folk song.
