There is "Home of the Beast", that is in Max's dream.
Before entering this dream, the little boy Max experienced a very unhappy afternoon. Originally, he had built an ice castle full of joy, hoping to get praise from his mother and sister, but the two women in the family were busy with their boyfriends. He shouted hoarsely in his heart: "Look at me, look at my masterpiece." But no one answered. After that, things went worse and worse. The older children ruined his masterpiece. He ruined the gift his sister gave him under his anger. After venting, he felt regretful, and confessed to his sister and mother. The grievances, complaining about their negligence, so complaining, he is angry again...
Max's strong exclusivity towards his mother and sister and his hostility towards adult men can easily abduct people to Freud. In the trap of "Home of the Beast", the initial attraction of "Home of the Beast" is that director Spike Jones simply rejected any rational "over-interpretation" possible. When putting this "low-child" picture book on the screen, Jones restored the irrationality of his childhood: plundering emotions and care with ease, loneliness that is difficult to dismiss, unconscious anger, unconscious but memorable hurt and hurt ...In the first half an hour, "Home of the Beast" provided experience rather than inspection. It melted more than ten or even decades of time, let us sitting in the dark movie theater, once again catharsis Dark and sharp negative emotions when they were young.
When Max’s ice castle collapsed in the laughter of the older child, his little world collapsed at that moment, so the boat in the evening dream became the child’s haste escape. On the globe that his father gave him, it read: "The King of the World" given to me. On the other side of the sea, he became the "King of the World" as he wished. His people are a group of furry beasts. And how does this beast home, and the little home he fled from, look so alike? The beasts also have small groups and estrangements, as well as indifference and ridicule, and they also struggle for friendship and exclusivity. In fact, what Max dealt with in the home of the beasts has already been staged one by one in his little life. Even when he just broke into the home of the beasts, the beasts asked him: "Do you know how to heal loneliness? Do you know how to get happiness? Is it?" Lonely, or lonely, it turns out that it also goes with you in the dream. Max’s home of the beast, and Dorothy’s country of Oz, are paradise lost by different routes. Just as Dorothy is going to return to the countryside of Kansas, Max can only return because he has nowhere to escape. It's a dilemma. He can only reconcile by himself.
When he woke up from his dream, Max was still that greedy emotional vampire, demanding his mother's arms and eyes. He hasn’t had time to learn to regret and introspect. The sad story he once told to the beasts—the vampire with his teeth lost and was thrown down by his kind alone—has too late to actually take place in his life, but this scene is far away. Somewhere awaits him, and one day, he has to learn to sign a decent agreement with Lonely. At that time, he would still dream. On the small island in the dream, the sun passed through the brown branches...
Woke up, we opened Nietzsche’s collection of poems and read gently: This world is like an open door/door Outside is the boundless cold desert. This poem is called "Lonely".
