I wish we were all Horton

Horton said that on a clover flower there is a speck of dust, and on a speck of dust there is a small town called Hoohoo, in the town there is a mayor, and in the mayor's house there are 96 children and a When everyone questioned the mayor's wife, he firmly said: "I believe you." In this tiny world where even a magnifying glass feels helpless, people in the whole town live a happy and romantic life. However, due to their small size, they are destined to encounter a crisis. A slight shaking is their eighth-magnitude earthquake, and the little squirrel's slight exhalation is their catastrophic hurricane. The motes were swept up in the breeze and wafted, and they faced destruction. Fortunately, there is such an elephant in the forest, sincere, kind, 100% loyal, and full of childlike innocence. He listens carefully to the world, to life, and to the cry for help from another world. However, in a world, there will always be numb and silent people. In the tempering of society, they are worldly. They are not evil, but they are easy to be incited and used. At the same time, there will always be an autocratic and stubborn ruler. Self-hypnotized all his centralizing actions for the well-being of the world. There are three types of creatures, there are in Huhu Town, there are in the forest, and naturally there are also in the human world that we are proud of. Mrs. Kangaroo urged the crowd to drive the alternative elephant Horton out of the forest and put the alfalfa flowers into the frying pan. She didn't believe Horton's seemingly whimsical but real words.
The Chinese translation of the movie is Horton and the Anonymous, English is more appropriate, Horton hears a who. There are two editions, one in 1999 and the other in 2008, based on the novel of the same name by Dr. Seuss, a famous children's literature writer. Maybe when you see this, you will think that it is just a cartoon, a fairy tale to coax children. In fact, it is not, and this is the success of American animation.
Dr. Seuss' Horton hears a who, written in the 1950s, didn't just entertain the masses. If you know American history or you are fascinated by various isms, you should have heard of McCarthyism in the 1950s. It was a period of strong anti-republican and xenophobic upsurge. Perhaps it was similar to our Cultural Revolution or the social situation in East Germany during the eavesdropping storm. The biggest difference is that the former advocates capitalism, while the latter adheres to communism, tolerates others, uses despicable methods, and is paranoid. To no avail. And Horton hears a who's original mission is similar to Lu Xun's dagger, the beautiful fairy tale is a sharp satire, satirizing the American government at that time.
When the alfalfa flower fell into the frying pan, the wallaby reached out to catch it, "I hear it! I hear it! They are therer!" "But what about reality? Pure question! A few days ago, I saw a professor's blog post "The essence of Chinese education is deception." I wanted to refute him, but at least what he listed was the facts. The content in the textbook, especially in literature and history, the school said that it should be Integrity, but tacitly admit that students cheat in the exam. The teacher said that he treats every student equally, but he will accept a few expensive cigarettes from the parents of classmates during class. The teacher is the same as he is not, but he comes to clean up every time the leader checks,,,,,,Don't say I am extreme, I have not been a rebellious teenager for many years. Maybe too far. Life is very good now, except for some movies, some books, and some discussions that have to be screened by others before I can choose to watch or not. As for others, it doesn't affect me much at the moment, and we are used to it now and I'm not 100% sure. judge right and wrong.
This film is considered to be an American theme film, fraternity, freedom, democracy, childlike innocence, equality of all beings... Although I have been moved by the films of Thailand and Japan recently, but how should I put it, I feel that the films of Thailand and Japan are very far from me. Closeness always allows me to find myself, while many American films are far away from me, but still find resonance at some abstract point.
Well, it's a movie worth watching~
