Being a sentient animal is painful

There are so many animal clips and scenes in the movie, I believe that it is not only for the purpose of metaphor of the plot content, but also to explain the relationship between man and nature.

Almost isolated from the world, this small village is almost part of the pristine ecology in the folds of the rolling hills. In this village, people and animals do the same thing, struggling to survive, sexual intercourse to breed the weak and the strong. But the most painful thing for people is that they are not only animals, their instincts are also suppressed by society, and their emotions are artificially restrained. Those who are aware are the most painful.

    Turin, January 3, 1889. Nietzsche stopped in front of the hotel and saw not far away, a horseman was beating an old cart with a whip. Seeing this, Nietzsche squeezed into the crowd, rushed to the old horse, hugged the horse’s neck and started crying. The hotel owner rushed to take him away. After returning to the hotel, Nietzsche lay quietly and motionless on the sofa for two days, and then went crazy for ten years. This is also a movie that makes people want to commit suicide.

    "Mom, great, it's snowing!" I sincerely thank my mother for her son who was able to freeze to death, and her mother who was sitting on the skeleton waiting to die. And pity, this "civilized view" that purely can make any audience think about the movie at the moment seems so shameful, because the scene in front of you is the real relationship and the real humanity-at this moment, the people in the image are connected with each other. Folklore finally stepped into the realm of gods.
