Where is the future going? This is really a problem.
Pollution, war, racial hatred, biochemical crisis, natural and man-made disasters... A week before watching this movie, the Ministry of Railways was caught in an unprecedented humanitarian disaster. They gave up search and rescue and devoured lives for no reason. This is the same as what is described in the movie. Development does not necessarily bring happiness, and high speed may accelerate the demise of mankind.
A huge country is on the verge of death without people noticing.
The director is really cool, watching from the sidelines and calmly describing the future. What about flowers? happy? What about harmony? What about fun?
The more development, the more nonsense. Various mysterious metaphors in the film are always criticizing the present, where is the future? There is no ready answer. But you can try to find it, for example, slow down, make the spirit more abundant, reduce desire; for example, make the family more warm, more friendly and more tense, care for each other and share with each other.
Confucius hated the collapse of ritual and music. Who can be sure that the future will be better?
