Nabarvené ptáče (The Painted Bird, 異端の鳥)

I watched a movie names “Nabarvené ptáče (The Painted Bird, 異端の鳥)”. It is a story of a poor boy who was driven away from anywhere for subtle or even no reason. The age of World War II and full of misbeliefs/rumors casted shadows to people, especially for the Jewish. There is no background music except the last scene, and the sound effects are full of environmental sounds. For example, if you climb on a mountain all the way alone and the weather is beginning to be bad, there are a lot of noises of fricative sounds among blowing winds and tree tops. If you are familiar with this environment, you can easily grasp the feeling of the loneliness. All the accompanied environmental sounds originated by either living matters or non-living matters are some sense symbolizing a silent God as an observer or atheism, which is a character of people in Czech. The director is the Czech, though the original novel is from Poland. The language used is Slavic Esperanto. At first the boy could be anything as tabula rasa, but during the proceeding of the story there are many severe, cruel and aggressive matters that is partially essences of human beings and he is misguided to be a difficult (despite solid) personality. The only solution for being saved is achieved by a few local people, a German, and Russian soldiers, leading to an ending with an only and a particular type of music. Even the case that almost everything is common to the other people, a subtle labelling leads to a social ostracism as the painted bird appeared in the movie.
