Abstract

Could we unleash our deepest cravings without fear of reprisal? Could we live if we weren’t conditioned by society? One possible answer to these questions is: we don’t, without the intrusion of culture, we would be facing a chaos. In a scene with these features, it would apply the law of the jungle and the strongest one would be placed over the weaker. Considering this point, this paper makes a brief review of the film Wild Tales, pointing out situations where, favored by anonymity and a bleak scenario, the characters break the wall that separate us from animals and allow us to live in a society governed by laws.
