Domestication, making connections, is a process that is both simple and complex.

I went through this interesting process with a strange animal, the shortest time, three days. I remember that it was a myna. I don't know where it came from. I was a little scared at first. Later on the second day and the third day, I met. It was always there. I fed it with bird food, and on the third day I was no longer afraid. I am, really fast. But on the fourth day I went again, it didn't know where it went, was it taken away, or did it fly away by itself? Never saw it again. About the things between those few days and mynah, I also recorded it in my diary in great detail. A few years ago. After watching the movie, I remembered it again.

Domestication must be sincere, trusting, equal, respectful love and care for each other, no coercion, no possession, but a simple relationship that cannot be closer.

Someone said that the final result of raising a pet will make people very sad. If you keep him, he will be yours. One day, you will finally face the moment when he leaves. It is destined to be that day from the beginning, because Pets belong to you. But the fox and the child, the connection between them, is not the same. There is no relationship of who belongs to whom.

Foxes run around, they are so cautious and careful, different from other people and animals, can't help but feel pity, the child, curiosity and possessiveness drive her to hope to establish a friendship with the fox, in the process of chasing and running , She sometimes rescues the fox from danger, and slowly wins the trust of the fox in the long relationship. She naively thinks that the fox is her own pet, so she forces the fox to do things she doesn't want to do. Later, she experiences After so much, she realized that the fox doesn't actually belong to her, it's her own subjective thoughts, and no one belongs to anyone, and there is no affiliation. Just living under the same roof.

The scenery in the film is very beautiful, and the song at the end is also very good, very melancholy, and it sounds really comfortable.

I think of another film with few words, [Butterfly], which also explains the process of searching. A film without too many words will be boring, but if you stop and watch it, you will feel very good and enjoy the process of watching it. Like with the protagonist, see what they see through their eyes.
