Madagascar to the old man and the sea

I have always liked watching cartoons, even though my buddy warned me many years ago: watch out for too many impotence in cartoons! Although I didn't take it seriously, I feel it makes some sense. Most of the cartoons of that era were innocent and naive, "Astro Boy", "Three Thousand Miles to Find My Mother", "Forest Emperor", "The Adventures of Maya"... Probably if you watch more of them, people will become Naive, naturally can not think of erotic sensuality. (I hadn't heard of erotic cartoons at that time.) Going far, I just like cartoons anyway.
Originally, there is nothing to say about this animation. Although it is not as good as the previous one, it is also a superior work. The plot is compact, the jokes are frequent, and it is lighthearted. I forgot after reading it, but I happened to see an essay about "The Old Man and the Sea" and thought of this film again.
I have always liked Hemingway's novels, especially the feeling of a man. His character is probably the same, aggressive, vain, impulsive, and the strengths and weaknesses of men are very strong. The essay was written by Wang Xiaobo. He did not believe in fate, but believed in the strength of human nature when fighting against fate. Maybe it's this "tough" that reminds me of the tough old New York lady in the movie.
Wang Xiaobo wrote in his essay: Like many others, he is a member of the powerful human race. I like this kind of people, and I like this kind of humanity. ... On the road of human progress, the paths of the strong and the weak are different. The weak do not envy the fate of the strong, and the strong hate the fate of the weak. The strong have the strong side of human nature, and the weak represent the weak side of human nature. The strong do not blaze the trail for the weak, but the strong are often enslaved by the weak, just as the old man fishes for the pot-bellied tourist. (Wang Xiaobo felt that he was anti-traditional and despised the old-fashioned ideas. But here is a clear use of class struggle and the trick of going up and down the line.)
In short, the strength of the praise in the article is reflected in the old lady in the movie. And the old lady's line, being an omnipotent New Yorker...embodies the authority of man as the lord of all things...without water we build dykes, without food we hunt...nothing can stop us...movie Here is a small mockery of the arrogant New Yorkers (perhaps the mighty human beings) who have harmed African animals, but they can't conquer nature.
I believe that human beings are not the masters of all things. Humans cannot command any nature, and probably the only thing left is to transform themselves.
