As a writer, you find a cool metaphor sometimes that lets you deal with stuff that expresses a theme. If the film says anything political, it's that that's where repression comes from. The birds were singing. It was this pristine, perfect place. What's attractive about it is the peace, but there's a price to pay for that kind of peace.
Life is more complex than that.
To live that way is less complete, less fun, less passionate. The results of so much elaborate computer effects are entrancing and the film is both entertaining and a spiritually gratifying metaphor of what chaos, but also what vitality, consciousness can bring to life. Written and directed by Gary Ross.
