The movie from six years ago was on-demand at home when I was bored during the Chinese New Year. After reading it, I found that it was an adaptation of a true story, which was a bit shocking.
The overall plot is relatively cliché, I thought it was the story of the protagonist and animals, but in fact the focus is still on people. Personally, I prefer to see the fun between people and animals. However, after watching it, I have new feelings, and I also have new discoveries when I recall the film, which is mainly divided into three parts.
☞Love? Male lead and wife
The story begins when the male protagonist, Benjamin, can't let go after losing his wife for half a year, resulting in neglect of his children, and his son has some psychological problems. Because I realized that I wanted to change, I encountered the zoo and bought the zoo.
Fortunately, even if the wife leaves, she has left a sum of money for the male protagonist who loves to experience adventures to go through the real adventure smoothly. In the end, the male protagonist gradually let go of the past in this real adventure and greeted Scarlett.
The male protagonist and the children recreate the scene of their first meeting with the deceased wife, and it took 20 seconds of courage for them.
"Do you say that a fairy like you who has fallen into the mortal world will favor a mortal person like me?" (I really like this translation)
"Why not?" (I really can't think of a better answer)
☞Family???
The little girl's smile is particularly contagious, and she likes the part where she gets along with the peacock very much. There are many animals in the film, which is also the finishing touch.
The relationship between the son and the father is handled hastily. But that classic line also comes from a conversation between father and son:
You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just literally 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.
The hazy relationship between the son and the girl makes me really anxious. I wish they would start a sweet relationship soon. Is it because I am old? Oh, and the love between the male and female protagonists is interspersed.
☞Animals?????
There are quite a few animals in the shot. Here are the new discoveries of reminiscing the film, I should not think so much when watching the film.
The staff is naughty? It's a fun adjustment. A bear suffering from depression? It is a small test for the male protagonist. The little girl's peacock hatching heralds new hope. Aged?, the male protagonist finally passed away after many stubborn efforts, implying that some things must be put down after all, but I just feel very sad when I watch it. The lion cage that almost dropped the chain at a critical moment, the heroine interacted with the lion, and cooperated with each other to repair the door lock, and finally passed the acceptance. Many other animals are just a few seconds of footage, such as the flamingo in the picture at the end of the article.
Finally, the tenderness drawn by the little boy with the "dark" style? As the logo of the zoo, it is also full of warmth.
☞⭐⭐⭐⭐
Originally wanted to play three stars, but because of the affectionate relationship between the male protagonist and his wife, because of the contagious smiles of the two little girls, because of those animals, and of course Scarlett, they were promoted to four stars.
☞The above is purely personal experience.
