The vast Kalahari, such a mysterious space. A group of indigenous people who have been forgotten by time live there. They know nothing about modern things, and believe that everything they don't understand is God's handwriting. There are no neighbors and no enemies. They live in their own world peacefully, in harmony and harmony, without contending with the world. People love and help each other and share together. Although the resources there are poor and the environment is harsh, they have never put pressure on their survival. On the contrary, they have made people cherish and appreciate the gifts of heaven even more.
In a city thousands of kilometers away from Kalahari, people are being driven by high-tech, high-tempo life, using many "advanced" tools, such as cars, such as computers, in the bustling streets and row upon row of tall buildings. Walking through. The squeezing air was everywhere, squeezing the smiles on their faces.
In the first few minutes of the film, Time and Space easily completed such a conversion. And it revealed the director's intention at the first time: the strong contrast makes us who are watching the movie have to think about it.
What impressed me the most was this fragment: Li Su left the Kalahari with the bottle, felt hungry on the road, and suddenly saw a group of sheep. So he shot one of them with an arrow soaked in anesthetics; then he walked over to pet the lamb, apologized to it, and explained that his injury was not out of the original intention, but only forced to survive; the kid watching the sheep found out and treated him Shouting, Li Su naturally invited, "Let's eat together!"; the child ran away, he thought he was going to call his family, but he was even more happy; the child brought the police back, the police said nothing. Taking the sheep away, Li Su felt that it was really impolite for this person to swallow it alone, but he was not angry, but went to find another sheep by himself... A
very simple process, to take away the pure integrity of the indigenous people represented by Li Su The nature is vividly expressed. They have the greatest respect for nature, because they themselves are part of nature. They have no idea of private ownership, only a simple sense of sharing. They help others unconditionally, because they take it for granted, and they believe that equality and mutual love are normal interpersonal relationships.
On the other hand, the modern people who are struggling and running amidst material desires, all kinds of greedy desires are constantly growing. However, I always believe that a pure heart is shared by all people, the past, the present, and the future. Just like the hands of two soldiers in the film, even though they are forced, it symbolizes that there is no absolute hatred and irreconcilable contradictions between people; there is never a real villain in the film, even those horrors. The elements, the poachers, they are just clowns, not contradictions. Modern people are by no means the object of criticism, but the object of sympathy. They are all just to protect themselves from harm in this complicated world. Their beautiful qualities have not been lost, but they just hide in a certain piece of pure soil in their hearts, looking forward to being cultivated at the right opportunity. I think this is what the director hopes to tell people.
Just like the rut with no end in sight, the development of mankind has gone too far. This road is full of hardships and thrills, and only then has today's prosperous scene. Although Li Su was unconscious and unconsciously acting, he still walked a long way along the rut. This symbolizes that Kalahari will not be closed forever. Coke bottles will not be the only thing that disrupts their lives, and more modern products will continue to impact their minds. They will eventually be involved in the tide of modernization. This is an inevitable trend of history. Then the good qualities in them will also be assimilated by the unstoppable power. This is worrying. But from another perspective, good quality should not be based on backwardness, ignorance, and extremely low productivity. The last piece of pure land in the spiritual homeland should not be dependent on them to guard.
Busy people, as long as they slow down a little, they will notice the good scenery around them. The search and reconstruction of a beautiful humanity will certainly not be too difficult.
Human beings will eventually surpass material.
In the eyes of aboriginals, modern people are gods because their behavior is so incredible; in the eyes of modern people, aboriginals are also gods because they are in the original state of the soul. Perhaps everyone is God-his own God.
