Note that she didn't feel comfortable rejoining society using the standard method, so she did it on her terms, using a method she'd crafted herself that was uniquely hers.

@movierun Рік тому

Great observation. And she gives herself fully and takes the plunge without fear. To me, that image of her falling symbolizes letting go and fully participating and trusting in life without trying to control everything out of fear.

Cast is a knitting term. Cast could also mean to turn away. 🙂

Actually she merely remembered the dream, when she saw the broken rung, & knew that would be unsafe if she tried climbing down it, because the ladder is old & weathered. That is the only reason she used the scarf, the super long scarf that she had been clearly knitting on since she went to live in the clouds.

I too am facing the same trouble that girl faces. When I was young I thought I was normal, but as I got older, I learned that I had either Autism or at least a learning disability. Which could explain why I did not pay attention in class much and why I'm unable to learn how to have and run my own home. I use to dream of being either an author or a 2D animator, but after learning the struggles and challenges of life, I began to think my disability would not let me accomplish either of them. And now I fear it maybe too late for me. Sometimes I think to myself, if I can't reach for my dreams, then what's the point of my existence? What is my mission in life, and why was born with disability that holds me back? With sad and depressing things like these, it's no wonder why people would commit suicide to get away from it all. (Not that I would ever do that.) Why dose life always have to have so many struggles for us all?

I agree it feels like a film about escapism from depression. I suffer terrible severe depression most of my life ... I'm middle age now, and bedridden with chronic illness It's never too late to start doing things you want to Even in the mist of hopelessness, I never gave up trying After 10 years stuck in bed , unable to even sit up. ...I manage to find a hobby I can do lying down . So, grab life if you can, start doing things if you feel up to it ...never let age or illness , or disabilities get in your way It's your life , not your ailments .... 💚💚💚💚💚💚

The reason why I feel more comfortable in isolation is bc I didn’t had humans in my life where I truly feel safe and comfortable around them. It’s like I always need to be careful. Human relationships are something by which I experience most discomfort in my life and I think there are a lot of ppl out there who understand me and think the same

@studhunn3015 8 місяців тому

i agree with you. I share the same opinion, but expressing my thoughts clearly has been challenging due to the potential backlash of hate. In these trying times, they strip away everything positive, leaving us crumbling and unable to even smile or find happiness, all while mocking us. When I attempt to convey my feelings, they often respond with the same dismissive behavior. It's truly disheartening to witness the changing nature of humanity. I've found solace in isolation because there is no genuine human connections, where I could feel safe and at ease, have been lacking. It's as if I've always needed to be cautious and guarded. fuck

I like how she went back to civilization by herself. That’s how it should be for everyone. Sometimes, you can feel alone, and you need a break. You don’t need to feel pressured to be apart of something if it’s the wrong time. You fan be comfortable again, but that doesn’t mean it’ll happen right away ❤️

@Stan0070 Рік тому

Changes are sometimes good don't let isolation be all that you know. As someone who likes spending time alone more than with people this hits home I love socializing with friends and family but I prefer spending time alone I enjoy it I guess I'm an introvert 😂 but change is good if it helps improve your life.

i am an introvert and for some reason i resonated so much to this. i feel that fear too. that i will die alone in a cold dark place with noone beside me, because of my 'strangeness'. but at the same time i just cannot bring myself to make friends by enjoying the things others do, so i always find myself alone to myself. in a place others cant reach. but i would like more than anything for people to atleast try to reach to me. to find me in my safe place and be with me there, atleast for a while so that i dont feel so lonely anymore.

Чудесный фильм, волшебная анимация, увидела себя и пересмотрела еще раз 5. Для меня это про интровертов и высокочувствительных людей. Общество сильно напрягает, раздражают шумы, громкий хохот, гул нескончаемых разговоров. Хочется скорее сбежвть в свой простой и уютный домик, где так хорошо, спокойно и свободно одной, валяться на облаках, читать, мечтать, печь душистое печенье. Вязать что-нибудь яркое и незамысловатое, вот хотя бы шарф. Конечно, не хочется заканчивать свои дни в полном одиночестве со спицами в руках, но ведь и общество далеко не гарантия, что будет по-другому. В любом случае, шарфик - это возможность сбежать обратно, домой.
