I was surprised at wonderful visual beauty of this movie. I think that the hero is nature not the three men and woman. This movie used nature lights, so the characters are frequently shown just as outline and sometimes we cannot hear the sound of character’s voice.
As the conflict getting high, the movie shows us brutal natural appearance like grasshopper’s attack. And human also damaged to nature because of their emotion. At the last, the girl said “There is no perfect human, human has angel and devil aspects half and half.” The aspects of imperfect human and the aspects of perfect nature get intersect naturally. Like this, the director of this movie showed that human sometimes can have destructive tendency to harm not only themselves but also environment, describing love, hatred and ambition.
This movie shows class problem, but I think the director didn’t touch this problem just outwardly. This class problem get involved in the movie very deeply and naturally, so we can recognize that very naturally.
Very interesting comments here, Angela. I like your emphasis on nature, and the suggestion that the environment sort of puts the human drama in perspective. Interesting, too, yes, how class comes in here, and, in a way, becomes bound up with the notion of heaven and hell.
